The staff is very rude and the park is pretty much nasty ! I would Not recommend this facility for the track field.

This is a large neighborhood park in Plantation. In 2005 the playground equipment was damaged by…read moreHurricane Wilma. It was rebuilt by 200 volunteers from Massey-Yardley Chrysler Jeep, The Chrysler Foundation, the City of Plantation, organizers from KaBOOM!, and residents of the community who all came together to restore the play structures for the children. In addition to the playground the park has a half basketball court, practice baseball field, a pavilion which can be rented, picnic tables, benches and a restroom. There is also a large open area for play and exercise. My favorite part of the park was along the canal where the water attracts local birds. On the day I visited there were two Egyptian Geese with big personalities and a common moorehen with her chick. They are also known as a swamp chickens and live around well-vegetated marshes, ponds, canals and other wetlands. I loved watching the sweet little fuzzy chick explore the world under its mother's watchful eye. That is why I enjoy checking out all kinds of parks. You never know what you will discover. This is a great park to play, picnic, or to just watch the nature swim by.

Stumbled across this little park while killing some time with my son. It's a lot larger than I…read morethought. There's a huge grass area for literally whatever you want. There's a decent sized playground for kids. There's a softball field and a single basketball hoop in what looked like a part of the parking lot that they blocked off. I noticed they had a book box that I've been seeing around the county more. One of those where you get give and/or take a book. I say one pavilion and a bench along the huge lake. I didn't check if they were open but it looked like there were bathrooms near the entrance. I can't confirm if there was a water fountain. The parking lot is a bit small and the path to get in is a little tight. Otherwise, this looks to be a great park, especially if you just want to lay out in the sun on the grass and relax.

The ash was dumped on the land that the park now sits on leaving arsenic, lead barium, and dioxin. In the 1990's concern was raised that there might be toxins making people sick in the neighborhood. In 2002 Lincoln Park was closed after large amounts of arsenic was discovered. The city removed the top 6 inches of soil, place a protective cap over it, and covered it with new dirt. The soil was retested, declared it safe, and Lincoln Park was reopened. Today the two and a half acre park is a popular recreational destination with a full court basketball court, open area for play, pavilion, picnic tables, grill, playground swings, and a walking path which I enjoyed. The trees overhead provide welcome shade when you are playing and exercising. If you didn't know the history of the park you would never know that ash from the incinerator used to regularly rain down here. Today it just looks a peaceful green space that the neighborhoods kids enjoy for the playground and basketball games.
