They are a few street parking spots in front of the preserve. The preserve has been landscaped with native plant and they are marked with signs so you can identify them. Plants in the preserve include saw palmetto, slash pine, live oak, cocoplum, white indigo berry, beauty berry, and strangler fig. A natural ground path loops through the preserves. Although not wheel chair accessible it is an easy hike for a person of any fitness level. During my stroll I saw many lizards including a bright green Cuban anole and many different species of butterflies including cloudless sulphur and zebra heliconian. Although small the preserve is very nicely down. The only other person I encountered was someone doing their fitness routine.

The entrance to Lake Forest Park is within Anne Kolbe Nature Center. Stay to the right as you drive…read morein and you will see the path that enters the preserve next to the lake. Anne Kolbe does not allow fishing but Lake Forest Park does. Lake Forest Park has two overlook piers for fishing on the intracoastal waterway. The trail has a boardwalk that goes over channels that connect the intracoastal waterway with the Atlantic Ocean and West Lake. Lining the waterway is an important environmentally sensitive mangrove swamp. Mangroves protect shorelines from storm and hurricane damage, prevent erosion, maintain water quality and clarity by filtering pollutants and trapping sediments, and they provide nesting and breeding habitat for fish and shellfish and migratory birds. As the dying leaves fall off the mangroves into the water they form a nutrient rich soup that feeds animals. As the tide goes out the food and animals are drawn into the intracoastal to feed predators. The tide washes animals in search of food back into the estuary. Even if you are not fishing this is a very pleasant walk with beautiful views of the intracoastal. In the preserve you may see crabs, fish, birds, and even manatee in the winter. Sadly not everyone who comes here to fish takes their garbage back out with them. Take only pictures and leave only footprints.

Keeping…read moretheir gates open Monday-Sunday with great hours, it's been an amazing addition to Cooper City since it opened in 2019. Whether you're looking to kick or toss a ball on the field, get some steps in on a trail, do some fishing, or let your kids run around on a sizable playground you can do it here. Most notably, it's free for everyone to visit! The main star of the show here are the 4 turf fields that offer hundreds of yards of space to play sports on. It's not hard to miss just how nicely done it is also. Being mainly for soccer, there's nets of all sizes to utilize. I'd think a complex like this would be only available to teams but it's awesome to see it's treated like the other sports complexes in the area. If running around on a field isn't your thing there's also a paved trail that gives you a nice view of the lake & wetlands area. While it isn't a big trail, I always appreciate things that promote exercising & being around nature. Want to hang outside without burning in the sun? There's also pavilions that offer plenty of shade with tables to sit at underneath. There's multiple water fountains, a concessions stand & vending machine at the center. Parking isn't an issue as there's a massive lot out front, they've done it all right here. I'm glad this complex is right down the road because I've made it a regular spot of mine. I have nothing but good things to say & suggest you stopping by if you're in the area.

Love the beautiful lake where you can also rest and relax on a bench or picnic table to take in all the nature around you. Love the fact that they have emergency stations all around with AED machines and around the lake with rescue flotation devices. Definitely was built with a child safety mindset as many kids playing sports at the park etc. Park is clean and well maintained all around. Parking is a plenty but can get packed and busy with local sports in play.

He kept our group of about 20 engaged. Gophers and their habitats are protected in Florida. There's a man-made lake in the middle of the sanctuary, which is up to 60 feet deep in places. The soil that was dug out to make the lake was transferred to the Sports Plex to level that land during its construction. We saw a tortoise and a raccoon during the walk and heard many birds. The walkway was paved and wide. This park is part of the million orchid initiative, we saw many tiny orchid plants attached to trees Although the sanctuary locked when there is no tour, there is a paved walkway outside the gated area. There is a nice playground for children and restrooms. The sanctuary is located in a Coral Springs neighbourhood. There is sufficient parking.

I did see movement in the brush along side the trail but unsure what type of animal it was. It was brutal hot so took a break on a wooden bench and just listened to the sounds of the crickets and birds. Due to the heat, never made it to the observation tower at the end.
