The thing that sets this park is it has a lot of lovely large trees providing shade. It is also a certified wildlife habitat. At this park you can play half court basketball, bocce ball, or volleyball. There is a pretty basic playground with swings along with a jogging trail that runs around the perimeter of the park. There is an exercise area set up with fitness stations. Other park amenities include a bathroom, picnic pavilion, and a grill. There is ample parking in the lot.

There is a small parking lot but it looks like most of the people walk in from the surrounding neighborhood. At the entrance to the park is the Gaylan "Sam" Bode Memorial playground. There is a slide, swings, and a few other play structures. The real reason to come to Lakeview Park is for the paved exercise path that runs the perimeter of the park. I saw a few people walking, jogging, and roller blading. This is a really safe place to take kids biking. Along the back of the park is a lake where there was an anhinga drying its wings and ducks. This was the perfect place to watch the sun set. In the middle of the park is a large open play area. Cypress Park is a much larger park only a half mile away. It has basket ball courts, ball fields, and exercise stations. This park may not have all of the amenities of the larger parks but it is peaceful and quiet. When you don't want to deal with the crowds and noise, this is the perfect place to exercise. Sunny and I enjoyed our early evening walk.

The trail is nicely shaded and the path is wide and stable - might be a nice short running route. It links to some other local trails! The trail offers some side of the road parking, which seems to be underutilized. The park offers free bug spray at the entrance, which is spectacular because I can imagine it may get buggy in all that glorious shade. I love finding spaces like these, and look forward to coming back with the kids.

Cooperative efforts between the Forman family, City of Parkland Mayor and City Commissioners, Broward County Board of County Commissioners, and Riverglades Elementary PTA have enabled this once endangered native land to be planned, restored, and opened to the public under the 1989 Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) Bond Program. In order to further a common goal and protect this uniquely diverse 20-acre site for public enjoyment and education, Broward County voters, on March 14, 1989, approved a $75 million bond issue referendum to acquire this and several other sites across the county. In turn, to provide public access, site amenities were designed, including a 5' wide, 900' long pedestrian trail traveling through pine woods and a 1,550' boardwalk meandering through cypress wetlands and past a breathtaking oak hammock. Two seating and observation areas along with a pavilion area are located along the trail. The public is encouraged to view this wondrous natural resource, to absorb its beauty, and to learn the importance of its preservation for future generations' quality of life. This is a nice, quiet place to go for a short walk. I saw hardly any people. It was kind of attached to a school with a fence which I guess is nice but didn't want people to think I was creeping about so I stayed away from it. Lol. There is no official parking so you kind of have to park on the street. I wasn't towed so I guess it was ok. I would return.

The park is located in and named for the 458 single family home Oakwood neighborhood that was built in 1979. The 7.2 acre park had the standard playground you see at many of the parks in Coral Springs, some basic outdoor exercise equipment, and benches. Although nicely maintained, there was nothing too exciting at first. After I started walking around on the paved exercise path that runs the perimeter of the park, I noticed a wetland area in the park. Here I found lizards hanging out, a pond apple tree, cypress knees, and purple pickerelweed. There were two short trails leading into the woods where zebra longwing and white peacock butterflies flittered around. One trail ends at a fence and the other one takes you out to the Stranahan River. I had the park to myself except for one other person exercising. My favorite part of the park was the wetlands portion and the wildlife it attracted. Come out and enjoy the fresh air, take the kids to play, picnic, and do some nature exploration. This park has it all.

There is a huge open area for play, a sand volley ball court, basketball court, paved exercise path around the perimeter of the course, covered picnic pavilion with grill and a really large shade covered ADA accessible playground. The playground had a number of unique items of play that I haven't seen at other parks. There is also a large climbing structure with several ways to scale up it and slides to take you down. The only drawback is the rather small parking lot but I don't imagine that this park gets very crowded from people outside the neighborhood. This is a well maintained park perfect for picnics, exercise, and taking the kids to play. Davie takes great care with their parks and this is another excellent example of their dedication to providing safe and clean recreation areas in the city.

We soon found George Snow Park on Google Maps, and would never have known it was tucked away off of Glades had we not specifically been searching for playgrounds. But what an ADORABLE park this is! We stopped here around 10 am or so on a Saturday morning, and it was initially just us and one other mom and her kid. We headed straight for the swings (my son's favorite), and then afterward let him have free reign to explore what he wanted. He loved the setup with all of the spinny toys and bells! As we stayed longer, more and more families started showing up, but it didn't ever feel too crowded while we were there. We loved how shaded the playground area was -- the weather was still slightly cooler then, but I know that shade is all the more appreciated in the summer. He was still a little too small for the bigger playground sets (he hadn't quite figured out stairs at that point), but now that he's grown a bit, I will absolutely bring him back here on our next trip to South Florida so he can explore further and go on the slides! I have yet to find a playground in Tampa as nice as this one!
