This is a park in the Twin Lakes North neighborhood of Ft. Lauderdale. The neighborhood is known…read morefor being a peaceful, family-friendly, and walkable area. The neighborhood was formerly part of the Twin Lakes CDP, but Twin Lakes North was annexed into Fort Lauderdale in 2005. This park is only a quarter of an acre which makes it a pocket park. Pocket parks are generally less than a half acre in size and can have different amenities for the public. This type of mini park arose from a desire in communities to have places for kids to play instead of another building or wasted vacant land. Thanks to the Fort Lauderdale Parks Bond Program this park is looking great. The voters approved an increase in taxes in order to pay for park improvements throughout the city. Three hundred thousand dollars were used to improve lighting and install a new shade covered playground by Burke. The park also has a water fountain, walkways, benches, and tables. Twin Lakes North Park is an inviting play space for children but it is also a great place to picnic outside. Note that there is no parking or restrooms.

A large exterior fence surrounds the park which seems unusual compared to the the typical open Florida park but when I found out the park has a pool it makes sense.
