This Park is THE BEST in the area!…read more My kids absolutely love it & so do I! The playground is beautiful constructed both for younger & older children. There are so many different options of activities to park take in. Some options: Adult workout area, picnic tables, kayak launching area and a wonderful walking trail. If that isn't enough this park also has a few tennis courts, pickle ball courts, basketball courts and volleyball. Including clean restrooms, cover pavilions and cameras in the parking lot. Do not forget the ample parking. If you are local and have yet to visit, I highly recommend doing so!

Great way to meet people and plus learn how to play pickleball. It gets competitive and packed here at night. Another reason to live the circle...

It's pretty cool for adults who don't take themselves too seriously. Pure chaos. Make sure you rinse off before leaving, and wash everything when you get home. Aside from how absolutely disgusting the water must be, this is S-tier wholesome fun.

The Great Lawn is where Atlantic Ave meets North Pompano Beach Boulevard. There is pay parking…read morealong the sidewalk and in a lot across the street. Pompano Beach has put a lot of money and thought into the area they call the Great Lawn. It has a splash pad for the kids and an outdoor shower. If you get hungry you can grab food at Sandbar Snacks. There is even public art projects, the Pirates Treasure Chest and a painted Pompano fish called Yellow Polka Dots. Right behind the lawn is access to the beach. The city of Pompano stages events here like Music Under the Stars and Movies on the Lawn. With beautiful views and plenty of room to relax and hang out, this is a popular gathering place for the beach crowd. I really like what Pompano has been doing to improve the beach area. There is a new parking garage so there is always a spot to park, great new restaurants, outdoor exercise equipment, and a fun playground for the kids. The Great Lawn fits in perfectly with the improved beach area. I can't wait for the last piece to be completed, the new Pompano Beach Pier. I am eagerly awaiting it's opening. I used to come to this beach because it was close to where I live. Now I come because of the great amenities. Well done Pompano.

This park was named for Pompano pioneer Robert aka Bob McNab who came south after the frost of 1899…read morein Central Florida with his brother Harry. Harry was a city councilman and banker who opened the first movie theater and ran the post office and grocery store while brother Bob spearheaded the city's agriculture and commercial development. The brothers made their fortune in farming which enabled them to own most of old Pompano. They were the first people to own an automobile and have electric lights. I stopped by because I noticed the beautiful large Christmas tree that the city had set up in the park. They also added decorations that light up at night. While it was beautiful display I felt uncomfortable because they were at least 20 homeless people in the small area of the park. At least one was smoking pot right next to a toddler. As I was leaving I ran into a security guard who told me the homeless could be there and it seems like they have made it their gathering spot. It's sad that the homeless of Pompano can't get better services to help them off the street. The city could have saved the money of the decorations and put it towards that. The really ironic thing is the park is directly behind the Pompano Beach visitors center. I don't think this is the welcoming look of Pompano that they wish to convey to tourists. Although I can't recommend a visit the park it also has a clubhouse, tennis and racquetball courts, basketball court, and a children's playgrounds but honestly take your kids somewhere else.

What a great family fun thing this was. We all liked it. The park turns into this beautiful light…read moreshow when the night falls. This was even better than I expected. I have to say. I would do it again next year. Its a driving experience. They had a sign of a station to listen to. I got static so I used mine. You have to stay inside the car. They had a bathroom stop halfway. It was around thirty dollars and you had the option of buying 3D glasses for $6, ouch a little overpriced for paper glasses. I did buy them lol. What the glasses did was that it added a figure to the lights. My glasses had snowman and if I moved they moved with me. It was cool. The snowman were everywhere. My son got candy cane. It was the same experience. The staff seemed to be enjoying themselves. Some really got into the holiday spirit. Everyone was very cheerful here. It was a happy atmosphere. I was glad I came.

My fiance rode Rooster and I rode Ryder, both incredible horses, we hardly had to do anything they just followed right along so we could enjoy the ride. Our guides had great info on some of the wildlife in the area, and on the horses at the stables. The majority of the ride was shaded, so helped with some of the heat. Couldn't recommend the experience more, especially if you have a kiddo who loves horses!

And we got to see ducks, and white birds, and lizards, too! There are several covered picnic pavilions with bbqs and tables and even water fountains -- at each one. They are set far enough apart for privacy. There's a playground and a volleyball court, cornhole, and a swath of green in the middle. It would be a good place for a family picnic or small corporate event or just a break at lunchtime. It's set back into a residential area. Don't let that deter you. It's worth a detour..

Apollo Park is a modest neighborhood park of 4.3 acres. Amenities include pavilion shelters which can be rented, picnic areas, grills, restrooms, a walking/ jogging track, a covered playground with an older child and toddler area with climbing structures and slides, and basketball, tennis, handball, and sand volley ball courts. Large trees offer shade. Apollo Park hasn't received any updates in years. Residents in this part of town would like a football field. In lieu of updating the park, the city is currently contemplating building a multi million dollar skate park nearby. During my visit it looked like a lot of men were just hanging out laying on tables. For a park behind a library it didn't feel very safe.
