It was rebuilt by 200 volunteers from Massey-Yardley Chrysler Jeep, The Chrysler Foundation, the City of Plantation, organizers from KaBOOM!, and residents of the community who all came together to restore the play structures for the children. In addition to the playground the park has a half basketball court, practice baseball field, a pavilion which can be rented, picnic tables, benches and a restroom. There is also a large open area for play and exercise. My favorite part of the park was along the canal where the water attracts local birds. On the day I visited there were two Egyptian Geese with big personalities and a common moorehen with her chick. They are also known as a swamp chickens and live around well-vegetated marshes, ponds, canals and other wetlands. I loved watching the sweet little fuzzy chick explore the world under its mother's watchful eye. That is why I enjoy checking out all kinds of parks. You never know what you will discover. This is a great park to play, picnic, or to just watch the nature swim by.

Stumbled across this little park while killing some time with my son. It's a lot larger than I…read morethought. There's a huge grass area for literally whatever you want. There's a decent sized playground for kids. There's a softball field and a single basketball hoop in what looked like a part of the parking lot that they blocked off. I noticed they had a book box that I've been seeing around the county more. One of those where you get give and/or take a book. I say one pavilion and a bench along the huge lake. I didn't check if they were open but it looked like there were bathrooms near the entrance. I can't confirm if there was a water fountain. The parking lot is a bit small and the path to get in is a little tight. Otherwise, this looks to be a great park, especially if you just want to lay out in the sun on the grass and relax.

Weston has 245 acres of parks to explore that appeal to a variety of recreational uses. They range…read morefrom small passive parks to vast athletic complexes. The over 5 acre Windmill Ranch Park is located across from Everglades Elementary School in the Windmill Ranch Estates development. There is no parking lot but you can leave your car next to the park when the school is closed. Windmill Ranch was where some of the first homes in the city were completed in 1984. The park opened in 1993 and was built by Arvida, a development company that also donated the land as part of their requirement to the City of Weston. You reach the entrance to the park by taking a short paved pathway that takes you up a small hill. At the top is a playground with a separate play area for younger and older children. There are climbing structures, slides, and swings. I love that that the playground has shade cover to protect children from the sun and a rubber ground cover to protect them when they fall. Adjacent to the playground is a large field that can be used for athletics, play exercise, or walking your leashed dog. Like all the city parks, Windmill Ranch Park is clean and meticulously maintained. How wonderful that Weston thought to set aside green space for its residents when developing the city.

The only negative aspect to this park is that this is one of the few parks in Weston without a restroom.

A cute lil park in Weston!…read more This park is right by the elementary school & you can see it driving by on Indian Trace, which is exactly how we stumbled upon this park. We were headed to a new coffee shop in the area and decided to stop by when we saw pickleball nets. We ended up coming right after the elementary school got out and it looked like a lot of the after school care was at the park. There is a super nice playground and two pretty big fields which were taken up by all the kids. It was nice seeing how active everyone was and how the park was utilized. We walked over to where the pickleball nets were, which were on the basketball court. There are lines on the floor for the pickleball dimensions and the nets are mobile so you can move them out of the way if they aren't being used. We set it up to play and it was pretty nice to just hit the ball around and drill for a bit. Overall, the park was super nice and very well maintained.

You can find it next to Indian Trace Elementary School who often uses the park during the week. Indian Trace Park first opened 25 years ago but in 2019 it received upgrades. Now this park has so much to offer starting with an ample parking lot. Overflow parking is at the school when it is not in session. Paved walkways wind through the park leading to the new restrooms, fitness station with shade canopy, baseball/softball field, resurfaced full court basketball, pickle ball court, shade covered playground with poured in place surfacing, picnic pavilion with tables, lighted walkways, and a bike fixit station. Modifications were also made to existing drainage, water and sewer infrastructure, and ADA improvements were made. The landscaping is beautiful with neatly trimmed shrubs and colorful flowering trees. The cascading yellow blooms of the cassia tree were stunning. The restrooms are some of the best I have ever seen in a public park. They even have a QR code so you can report any bathrooms that need a clean up. Indian Trace Park has everything you need in a neighborhood park. Come out to play, exercise, or picnic in the wonderful city of Weston.

The large Pavillion has bathrooms but no water fountain. The parking is free and plentiful. There is a small fitness area with manual equipment. There is a "Little Free Library" along the walking path and benches too. The large playground is good for little kids and the swing set has baby swings and standard swings. No handicapped swings. There is a sand volleyball court and plenty of open grass space for running around or flying a kite or drone. Because this park has a roving ranger, they check for ants and flying bugs that sting upon request too. I did come across a few wasp nests and there were some crazy bugs that chased us a bit.

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.
