We are so glad to have found this dog park in our community! This is a great spot to let your pets run free and meet other dogs. I love how they have separate areas for smaller dogs. They have water stations throughout both areas as well. My dogs love coming here and every patron is respectful by picking up after their pets. read more

This park is a top 10 for my family. We have so many parks around our area in the north Broward region, but this is one of the top ones. I love this place because you can enjoy a walk in the area and also have your kids play in the playground. It's a great place to bike as well. They have a nice basketball court too. Every time we come here it seems like there is a really nice breeze. read more

I went to this park for a dog adoption event. I brought my two dogs to this event and found it such a cool experience. It was a super hot day so I couldn't be there that long as I wanted to because I have two pugs. I really wanted to have my dogs drawn by the caricaturist but she was already leaving for the day. I loved that the dog park is divided between the smaller dogs and the heavier dogs. There is a basketball court and a nice walking trail as well. I event was nice because it is to promote dogs to get adopted. They had nice giveaways for dog owners but would have liked if they had more dog vendors. The parking is free and is close to the park. read more

Really nice dog park, very clean, nice scenery, my pup enjoyed his time at his dog park, they are closed on Wednesdays, so be mindful of that. Lots of parking and of course other amenities at this park in Margate. read more

Great park for all your outdoor activities. I walked this quaint little park every day until I moved out of the area. They've since renovated making it more enticing for everyone. read more

Firefighters park is the cute little park that could! It is small but it certainly packs a punch. It's got it all. Playground, tennis, basketball, beach volleyball courts, a great walking trail with exercising machines (these are powered by your own strength) I've seen these before, but I love how they ate placed in intervals so you can do a whole circuit as you walk. There is also a little town towards the end. I am not sure what is for, but it's super cute. Today I just did a fast walk, but I'm definitely will come back to do the circuit. It is located on Rock Island rd near Sample. Rd. They actually offer tennis lessons (not free) There is plenty of parking, and lots to do. I highly recommend. read more

In short: beautifully updated park and playground for kids/adults alike. This review is based off two experiences. Coming with my son for the last two years and attending a birthday party here at one of their gazebos. They updated their children's playground a couple of years back and it's just so amazing. My only qualm is I wish it had some sort of fencing for my mom anxiety. The playground has areas for all ages, even a small slide for toddlers and babies :) The gazebos here have ample space for birthday parties. I'm not sure about the rental process but I do believe it was fairly simple for my friend. Athletic activities: two basketball courts,a sand volleyball court, 6 tennis courts (with private lessons advertised :) and a walking trail that has various body weight workouts posted. There's ample parking and the area is kept clean (including the bathrooms) I would highly recommend for adults and kiddies read more

Firefighters Park - The pathway to walk around while dogs play - Parks Near Me - Margate, Florida

Offering a host of great amenities Firefighters Park is a wonderful fresh air venue for the residents of Margate. As you drive in to the park you pass the firefighters memorial, a bronze statue of a firefighter holding a child. Around the base of the statue are memorial bricks representing firefighters and police. The statue was dedicated in 1996. There are benches surrounding the statue so you can pause and reflect. Once you enter the park you can see the many athletic courts. Tennis, basketball, sand volleyball, and artificial turf soccer are offered. There is also a playground and community game room. At the back of the park is the Safety Town, an area where elementary school children can visit to learn fire and water safety from police, firefighters, and swim coaches. Other park amenities include a half mile jogging running track with exercise stations, restrooms, and pavilions for rent. With so much to do there is something for everyone at this park. This is a wonderful place to allow residents of Margate to get outside and get moving. read more

If you are a person of color I would suggest being careful at this dog park. There's a group of white older people that harassed me to my car a few days ago. When I got to the park another African American woman was all the way across the park & I found that odd. I proceed to walk both my dog into the park and sit under the canopy with 3 white older people. One guy seemed nice ( a person of color) and we chatted for a bit. The other white male & female ignored the entire time & refused to look my way. I didn't care I wasn't there for their entertainment. My dog did want to share the ball so he growled. The man jumped from his seat screamed at me to leave the park. When I refused & minded my business he grabbed his phone & decided to called 911. I then proceeded to ask "why" then decided to grab my things & leave. This man berated me & followed me out the park. The other white woman encouraged him to call 911. This man screamed 3 inches away in my face & called the police on me about my dog. My dog has been coming there for 4 years and I've never had an issue. This older white man & woman (not sure why she had to tag along) decided to harass me & follow me to my car. They then proceeded to video tape my without my permission & scream nasty things to me. I don't understand why they were following me if I was LEAVING THE PARK. I've heard about this white group of older people doing this to others but I didn't believe it. One guy helped me get my dog's in the car & tried to tell the older white male to leave me alone & calling the cops was unnecessary. Thank you to that guy! Because if he wasn't there I don't know what they would have done. I don't know why this park has done NOTHING about that group. I won't be going there anymore. My husband will be tho & is looking forward to speaking to them when he sees them. Or his lawyer. read more

I don't know why that I live right by a park and don't use it!? Well, at least until now. Firefighters Park is a small park located here in Margate which features a walking trail, basketball courts, playground, grill for barbecuing and more. The park is well lit which helps me out since i typically walk there at night. One thing i remember that I don't see anymore; they used to have a lot of workout stops for you to do random exercises on the trail but I think a lot of been removed. The park also has a parking lot for those driving here as well as a court which I actually think is a tennis court but also for soccer? For me, it's clean. It feels safe and it closes at 10pm so there is not reason for me not to use something like this in my neighborhood. read more

Fun fact: one lap around the walking path is exactly .43 miles. Park typically opens around 0700 but sometimes if P&R employees are feeling froggy opens @ 0630. Weekdays are best to visit as the weekends every child known to man and their neglectful parents sprawl every corner. read more

This review is specifically for the playground portion of the park. I have. I opinion on any other part. I'm not a huge fan of parks for kids that are sand and have no covering. The sand gets incredibly hot. Also the sand gets all over the car and in the kids clothes/diaper. If you want a sand feature you can easily add a sand box. read more
