As such, it has very little shaded areas aside from the covered shelters, playgrounds & amphitheater. I come here couple times a week for the boys soccer events and practice. The lawns are usually well kept and even. It's great for many types of workouts, walks, etc. It's a great spot to catch a sunset on a clear day as well. The bathroom facilities were ok, sparsely located for this sized park.

The park features multiple large open fields, playgrounds, and baseball fields. There are also bathrooms conveniently located throughout. We visited for the Miramar Kite Festival, which was such a fun experience. The city did a fantastic job organizing the event. There were multiple food trucks, a DJ, and a variety of tent vendors, including the city, fire rescue, PDQ, and other local businesses. One of the highlights was that the city gave out free kites to all guests. The turnout was great, and the atmosphere was lively. One large field was dedicated to kite flying, while a baseball outfield was set up as a kids' zone with several bounce houses for different age groups. We brought a picnic setup and beach chairs and truly enjoyed spending the day here. Overall, it was a wonderful event, and this park is a great place to visit!

It's in an open field and hot as hell. We were there around 3:00 pm and some vendors were already packing up and breaking down their tents.

There is a community center on site but it is almost always closed, meaning there is no bathroom at the park. Luckily there are two restaurants as well as a corner store less than 200 yards from the park(I would go to riverside market so you can grab a bottle of water for the rest of your time at the park). The sidewalk that loops around the park is the only sidewalk in the neighborhood so you will also see people from the neighborhood walking their dogs around the perimeter of the park as a bonus.

Ok this is what a gym should be like!…read more Located in the Don Taft University center, the NSU RecPlex is 110,000 square feet of fitness bad-assness!!!! Want to lift weights? Sure! There are enough weights here for Arnold to train for Mr. Olympia - 2 complete racks of dumbells, 84 strength machines, and benches galore. Feel like some sports? No problem - 2 mulitpurpose courts for basketball or volleyball and 3 indoor racquetball courts. How about some cardio? You will NEVER wait for a machine with almost 100 pieces of cardio equipment. Feel like a swim? There's an outdoor pool that's heated in the winter, and access to the competition swimming pool that the NSU swim team uses. Oh and if that's not enough, there is a 2 story rock climbing wall and classes including yoga, spinning, and pilates. The best part? The price... If you are a student it's FREEEEEE (that's the least they can do for the tuition at Nova). If you are faculty/staff - $25 a month. BONUS - there is plenty of eye candy to be had here and the gym is nice and COLD. If you are a Nova student or staff, you would be a fool not to go here! If not, sorry NO SOUP FOR YOU!!

However, one can definitely bring a guest in for $10/day or $25 for three consecutive visits. I started to use this facility almost 3.5 years ago when I first started at the Nova Southeastern University. I actually came here on my day one to get used to the place. I have to say the students working here are incredibly sweet and will help you however they can. This gym is by far the best gym I have ever been to. They have state of the art equipments and are always renovating. Starting on the third floor you can find multitudes of treadmills, elliptical, stair masters and bikes. The restrooms are also on this floor. On the second floor all the way in the back you even have rooms to play squash. Next to the squash room, there is a designated room lined with huge mats where you can do ab workouts. They even have two cages where you can stretch pre and post workout. Speaking of workouts, on this floor they have everything from free weights, to multiple squat racks, to bench press, platform for deadlifts and tons of machines for weight lifting. There are also two basketball courts. You will also find water fountains at every corner. Finally on the bottom floor is where you have dance studio type rooms where they provide various workout classes ranging from yoga to boot camps. Don't forget to ask the front desk for a schedule as that changes semester to semester. All the way in the back of the main floor you can also find the locker room. Bring your own lock and you are allowed to use lockers that are open. They have restrooms in here too. As I said, this gym has it all. It's one of the best gyms I have ever used.

Chapel Trail is known for its lakes, wide, landscaped streets, and neighborhood parks like this one. Opened in 1998, Chapel Trail Park is located next to Chapel Trail Elementary School.

In addition to the four lighted soccer fields, the 20 acre park also has amenities that include a football field, pavilion, shade covered playground, and swings.

I wanted to give him a chance to walk around and make sure everything was okay before we left the area. There is a shaded paved exercise trail that goes throughout the park and we took a little stroll. Sunny really started perking up as we walked through the park. Besides the exercise path there are benches, a shaded playground, and a covered picnic pavilion. In the center of the park is an open play area and several large ficus trees. At the edge of the park we discovered a community kindness rock garden which encourages you to take a rock and leave one. I love how well maintained and beautifully landscaped the parks are in Weston. I also love that they are dog friendly. Dogs on leashes are always welcome as long as you clean up after yourself with the poo bags they kindly provide. This is just one of the many beautiful parks in Weston that add charm to the city.
