I was looking for someplace I could take him for a walk that had a lot of shade. And as Parks go, this one was quite small. I did like the fact that it had body weight exercise machines. That's a nice little concept, it also had a basketball court and a short boardwalk to view the water. We didn't stay long but it does has have its purposes for somebody.

Although I appreciate that Broward County preserved a piece of natural land there are much nicer nature preserves to visit in the area.

This park was named for Pompano pioneer Robert aka Bob McNab who came south after the frost of 1899…read morein Central Florida with his brother Harry. Harry was a city councilman and banker who opened the first movie theater and ran the post office and grocery store while brother Bob spearheaded the city's agriculture and commercial development. The brothers made their fortune in farming which enabled them to own most of old Pompano. They were the first people to own an automobile and have electric lights. I stopped by because I noticed the beautiful large Christmas tree that the city had set up in the park. They also added decorations that light up at night. While it was beautiful display I felt uncomfortable because they were at least 20 homeless people in the small area of the park. At least one was smoking pot right next to a toddler. As I was leaving I ran into a security guard who told me the homeless could be there and it seems like they have made it their gathering spot. It's sad that the homeless of Pompano can't get better services to help them off the street. The city could have saved the money of the decorations and put it towards that. The really ironic thing is the park is directly behind the Pompano Beach visitors center. I don't think this is the welcoming look of Pompano that they wish to convey to tourists. Although I can't recommend a visit the park it also has a clubhouse, tennis and racquetball courts, basketball court, and a children's playgrounds but honestly take your kids somewhere else.

For earth day and for a milestone review, this is the park I chose to go to. We were not far away…read moreand I was curious to explore the area. I could easily live in this park. You'd never know it was here -- right along the intracoastal waterway -- unless you lived in this neighborhood. It's not the easiest to find as it's set back amongst the expensive homes, boats, marinas, and winding streets of Lighthouse Point. But it's well worth a trip to find it. There's not that much man made entertainment here -- no bbq grills or tennis courts or basketball nets or swing sets. What it does have is natural beauty and spectacular water views. There's a paved path to the middle and around the edge as well as some sandy paths. There are several spaces to park your car just outside the fence. Inside the fence is a bike rack. To the left of the entrance is the butterfly garden. And yes, we did see some colorful orange butterflies when we went -- but they were too fast (or shy?) for pictures. There are flowers -- yellow ones (sorry I don't know their name) and a number of green ones planted to attract the flying beauties. To the right of the entrance is a lovely large white Jasmine flowering bush. Heavenly scented. Inside the park are wide green expanses under the trees and several tented pavilions where you can rest and read or just contemplate nature. There is a bat house on a tall pole -- the bats eat mosquitos and are encouraged to visit, but I doubt there's one in residence. There was an empty bird house high up on a tree, too. There is an exercise area with instructions telling you what to do. But no one was using it. There's a sandy area with many coconut palms (and coconuts on the ground) and sea grape bushes that lead right down along the water. You could even dip a toe in if you're adventurous -- or just pull up a towel and sun bathe. In any case, along the water you get to see all the sail and speed boats passing by. And hear a soft lap as the water meets the shore. Such a nice respite from the hubbub noise of civilization. It was a welcome quiet space to rest and relax -- to get away and enjoy Mother Nature. So, come here -- and make every day Earth Day!

They also have a huge play area where all the kids can play and mingle to keep themselves busy, plus a Lovely lake view . I believe they have park supervision and an indoor restroom that looks like it's cleaned daily. The lake view looks good enough to go fishing I'm not 100% sure if fishing is aloud but it was also a pier that you can walk out on closer to the water . I wish i explored more of this park to check out the kinda trail they have but I'll probably go again another time.

Located on the east side of Cypress Road, I can't tell you how many hundreds of times, I've driven by without stopping. And I had no idea that it was as expansive. Coming from the south, you need to watch carefully as there is only one entrance and one exit from the parking lot. There's ample parking spaces. In addition to separate tennis courts, and 2 handball courts/tennis backboard walls, there is a nice play area. The children's playground has swings and covered slides and is mulched to protect the little ones. The large grassy areas are quite nice. A walking (running?) path goes around the perimeter. There are bathroom facilities, too. The one covered pavilion has seating. There are benches nearby and a bbq grill. The pavilion can be rented from the city for an event. It was relatively quiet on weekday. One gal practicing her tennis swings; another couple playing tennis; one person getting in their "steps"; and a guy eating his lunch on a bench at the pavilion. If I lived nearby and/or had young kids, I'd be here everyday.

He was a flight engineer on Turbine 33 that was shot down by a rocket propelled grenade. The movie Lone Survivor depicts the operation. In honor of his sacrifice Pompano Beach decided in 2015 to rename Norwood Pines Park the Sgt. Kip A. Jacoby Park. The park was a place that he loved to skateboard. The park is 4.7 acres and has many large shade trees, There is a large picnic pavilion, bathrooms, tennis courts, grills, a playground, and two handball courts. I had a nice stroll on the paved walking trail that runs the perimeter of the park. The park is bordered by neighborhood homes. On the evening I visited friends were gathering in the pavilion and children were playing on the playground. The many large trees offer a home to the birds in the park. This is a lovely spot to exercise or just sit and relax. It now serves as a memorial to a Pompano Beach resident who made the ultimate sacrifice. I think that it is really nice that Pompano Beach chose to honor their hero with a park named for him.
