The name of this park is Wes Griffin not West Griffin. It was named after beloved Davie police officer Wesley "Wes" Griffin who passed away in 2001 at the age of 53 from a heart attack. He was a town police officer for 27 years and he was a member of the Davie pioneer family, the Griffins for whom Griffin Road is named for. Officer Griffin had many letters of commendation during his years of service, was a giving volunteer to the community, and was beloved by many schoolchildren where he served as the school resource officer. Open daily from 9 AM until sunset, this is is a small and manicured 3.9 acre neighborhood park. There is a small parking area in the front of the park. Park amenities include a basketball court, shade covered playground, picnic table covered pavilions, and benches. The park is surrounded by water so it attracts a lot of birds. I took the paved exercise path to the back of the park where I saw many blue Jays. Like all of the parks in Davie, it is well maintained. This cute park is the perfect place to play, picnic, and bird watch.

My kids love this park because of the large playground that is mostly covered by tarp that provides nice shade against harsh sun. They also have swings, slides, basketball court and a sidewalk path that circles the entire park. There are a couple picnic tables available and lots of green grass. We did not see any public bathrooms available and there is limited parking. There usually are not that many people visiting so can usually find a parking space. West Griffin is great spot for kids to play outside and have a picnic.

Finally! The parks are open! This park is in walking distance and ever since COVID hit it was our little escape from being trapped inside all day. When they closed down a couple months ago, we would come to walk or ride our bikes along the path but it just wasn't the same. The kids missed the playground. They finally opened a few weeks ago and we couldn't be happier. The playground is covered which is nice with this unpredictable Florida weather and the the playground itself is nice and new. Before COVID one of the slides were closed due to maintenance but it's been fixed and back in working conditions. The kids really enjoy the slides and going on the swings. The swings are the only ones not covered but it's been cool lately so they haven't been too hot. If your not in the mood for the playground, they is a walking path that is great to ride scooters, bikes or just go for a quick jog. They also have little pavilions with a picnic table, a basketball court, and wide open space to run around. It's a great little park and we're grateful for it.

Lovely little park for kids and the family. Great for getting your steps in. The park is small but does have area to have barbecue with the family.

This is a cute citrus themed playground honoring Davie Florida's past as a top citrus producer. At…read moreit's peak in the 1950's there were 5,000 acres of citrus fields and 40 citrus packing houses in Davie. Today less than a 100 acres of citrus remain and there are no commercial citrus producers in South Florida. The park was named after Math Igler Citrus Grove, a citrus grove and packing house that had been in operation in Davie since the 1950s. The land that was the grove is now a housing development and this park. After the packing house was dismantled, equipment including scrubber sections which cleaned the fruit; the sorting section, where workers pulled the fruit that was too small for shipping; the wax and dryer, to polish the fruit; and, the bin area to prepare the fruit for shipping were donated to the Davie Schoolhouse Museum for an exhibit on agriculture and citrus packing. You can learn more about Math Igler and the other citrus groves that once called Davie home at the museum. The 1.5 acre park has two play structures with stairs and slides. The tops of the play structures have orange trees and there's an orange juice stand that children can play in. There there are also paved walkways, benches, and a pavilion with picnic tables and grill. There is also an ADA accessible swing. The large trees in the park provide welcome shade. This is a very nice place to take the kids to play and I like how it's dedicated to the history of the citrus land it sits on.
