Graham, who took on the role of developer for Bal Harbour; Sol M. Taplin, a longtime real estate developer, businessman, and village council member; and Stanley E. Whitman, a real estate developer best known for creating Bal Harbour Shops. The park also features benches, an American flag, a paved walkway, and landscaped greenery. The city often uses the space for holiday displays and public art installations. I recently visited Founders Circle to see an installation for Fleurs de Villes, a 10-day cultural arts event launched at Bal Harbour Shops in conjunction with Women's History Month. This year, the displays have expanded beyond the mall to local parks, Village Hall, and the beach. At Founders Circle, the installation Couture in Bloom offered a fun floral photo experience--you can pose with your face in the heads of two floral mannequins created by Blake Roses. It was a playful addition to the event, but note that it's only on display until March 8th, so don't miss it!

There are no places to park and two pavilions with metal benches. Most people jog or walk their dogs later in the evening but during the day bicyclist rule the path.

I would not suggest roaming through the area at night, although there are a very limited amount of dimly lit tall lamps, its still somewhat secluded and dark. The City of Sunrise recently added a few huge art exhibits along the east side of the park which gave it some needed pizzazz.

Even on busier days it's not packed and easy to run. There is adequate parking, exercise stations at the beginning and picnic tables. I run here often at all times of the day and have never had a problem; but, lighting could be better in the back of the park. There are a few areas (near the canal and the turn near the trees) that are a little dark so I usually avoid them if running at night and stay towards the front of the park.

I find it kind of ironic that they named a park after him with a jogging trail which was the thing that killed him but there you go. Mr. Diaz was a proponent of keeping development in check and fostering a sense of community in Coral Springs. This is a great neighborhood park if you are looking to get exercise. It doesn't have a kids playground like traditional neighborhood parks. Instead it has an outdoor gym area and the one mile aforementioned gravel walking/ jogging path. It folds in on itself as you go around. My favorite part of the path is the part that runs parallel to a canal in the back. I saw turtles, ducks and a egret back there. I had a lovely stroll there on a Saturday afternoon. It's a great place to get the body moving and to clear your mind in the fresh air.

Sherwood Forest Indian Park is a small park located in the charming El Portal neighborhood of…read moreMiami. El Portal means the gate in Spanish. At one time there was two huge wooden gates at the entrance to the village on Northeast Second Avenue but they were taken down in the 1940s. El Portal was annexed into the City of Miami in 1925 but with the arrival of the Great Depression, Miami gave it up its jurisdiction and El Portal was incorporated as its own village in 1937. Sherwood Forest refers to one of three divisions form the Village of El Portal along with El Jardines, and El Portal. In the Sherwood Forest subdivision is the Sherwood Forest Indian Park that lies a block west of an ancient Indian burial mound. An elevated circle is thought to be a burial mound for seventh-century Tequesta Indians. This Miami-Dade County Historic Site was believed to have once been the center of Tequesta life. The Tequesta who had lived in the area for thousands of years were wiped out by slavery and disease when the Spanish came to Florida in the 1500's. In the 1920's the mound was declared a historic site, the first such archeological discovery in the area to be protected with that designation. Today El Portal is known as a bird sanctuary and you can expect to find peacocks on the streets. If you come to the park you wont see much. There is a small trail, fountain, and benches. There isn't even a parking lot. The real worth of the land is in it's connection to a Pre-Columbian civilization.

I will surely be back at some point to investigate this new found area of mine.Sherwood Forest Indian park is smack bang in the middle of this secret place Here is what I found out about it once iI was home, after being intrigued about it. The Village of El Portal is a secluded, modern Garden of Eden that encompasses barely a square mile. It was incorporated on December 6, 1937, A.D. at the residence of H. H. Filer. There were 25 homes that were included in this incorporation of El Portal. The Village was incorporated by 34 out of 41 votes. Mr. W.O. Robertson was appointed Mayor. The members of the Women's Club, formed by Dr. J. McCormick, was very active. They did many public affairs and administrative functions for the council who often were their husbands. Three divisions united to form the Village of El Portal: Sherwood Forest, El Jardines, and El Portal. Sherwood Forest --a section of El Portal that possesses the most naturally pleasing 75-foot tall oak trees, manatees, and exotic birds and reptiles. The initial vision of El Portal was to make it similar to Coral Gables. The Sherwood Forest House borrows its name from the surrounding subdivision developed by D.C. Clarke during the 1920's land boom. The Mound is known for the cave. It is debatable as to who built the cave. Some say the French Huguenots, some say the Tequesta Indians and others say a natural phenomenon. The cave had many uses during the years, including providing a cool place to sit during the summer days. The Indian Mound is one of the highest points in Miami-Dade and its history dates back to the year 600 when ancient Tequesta Indians migrated and settled at the Mound while passing by on the Little River. The Mound was one of the few areas above Water. It was actually six to eight feet higher than it is presently. Miami-Dade County declared the Indian Mound a historic landmark in the 1920s. It was the first such archeological site to carry this honor in the County. El Portal is a Bird Sanctuary. The many trees provide a large canopy that the birds enjoy. Many exotic bird species have been sighted including the peacocks that may be seen on any given day. The Radar Memorial United Methodist Church is located on 87th Street and NE Second Avenue. It was formed in 1923. It is one of the oldest churches in Miami-Dade County. An Arch, known as: "the gate," may have stood at 85th Street and NE Second Avenue. It was made out of wire and wood and had two Robin Hood type figures on each side. The oldest home in El Portal is truly a formidable sight to behold. It was moved from its original location off of Biscayne Boulevard in 1910. This house had several uses over the years from entertaining to acting once as a medical clinic back in the 1930s. Trailblazers in El PortalClerow "Flip" Wilson was a well-known comedian and actor. Mr. Wilson became famous while serving in the United States Air Force. He was asked to tour military bases to cheer up other servicemen. His barrack mates gave him the nickname "Flip" stating that he was always "flipped out". Garth Reeves was the owner of the newspaper The Miami Times. His home was always known for its beautiful landscaping. Betty Wright is a soul and R&B singer. Her mother: Rose, her sister Jeanette and brother Phillip are longtime residents of El Portal. The part of Ms. Betty Wright's song that mentions her mom saying, "I know that you're not going to sing that song" ("Tonight is the Night") occurred while Ms. Betty Wright was at home in El Portal. Recent History In December 2002, the Village of El Portal voted to change from a council form of government to a Council-Manager form of government. On January 28, 2003, the Village Council voted unanimously to appoint Newall Daughtrey as its first Village Interim Manager.The beautiful Village of El Portal values nature and takes pride in being diverse and peaceful. As we move forward, in the 21st century, we're preparing to face the challenges of a small village and at the same time remain connected to our past and true to the values that make El Portal--"The Gate".
