This is one of many hidden gems in Coral Springs. The heavily treed area on the east is home tons of dragonflies, bees, butterflies, and more! The wildflowers throughout are a lovely sight among the trees. Though surrounded by houses, the park is quiet, peaceful, and calm -- perfect for a small picnic or just to take a break from the city.
The 21 acre, Three Mountains Natural Area was created in 1999 in the Shadow Wood subdivision of Coral Springs. Florida is flat as a pancake so the sight of any elevation is a shock. This park is made up of three 40 to 50 foot tall hills that were created when the C-14 canal was dredged on the southern edge of the park. The park was landscaped and ficus and oak trees were added. A playground was built at the northern end of the park. There are only three parking spaces which discourages people from using the park because it makes it difficult to get a spot. People like to use this park for exercising. It is hard to add elevation to your run so having hills like this to go up really enhances your workout routine.The park has just recently reopened. It closed even before Covid-19 because coyotes were reported to have chased down a jogger who fell and tore a ligament. There is literature available at the entrance of the park that details what you should do if you encounter a coyote.
Its has three hills that give you a rare view of the scenery around you... I say rare because there are no hills in South Florida. There are no trails, however... and no small waterfalls as some pictures depicted. Its a vast area where you can play, run, take your kids, have a picnic, and enjoy the view. Theres also a small playground for the kids and a couple of tables around it. Only 3 parking spaces.
Great spot in Coral Springs to go big playground for the kids
Love working out at this park ! They have awesome hills and lots of open space. Also, very clean!
This place is great for running up and down the hills and stargazing and the view from the top of the mountains is amazing I definitely recommend this park
Wonderful trail to walk, jog or run. You can also just bring the chair and enjoy the tranquility.
THIS PLACE IS NOT (really) OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Its a small park inside of a neighborhood and they dont have parking. But its nice and quiet. If you decide to go be respectful. The people there are very nice
Not the largest park in town . But its really fun to explore the mountains . A good place to bring the little ones to run off extra energy
Great little park. 3 steep hills great for runners trying to get some Hill repeats in. There are only 2 parking spots, but you can park along the fence (non houses side). The park hours over the summer are 8am-sunset
Small park with big hills, a rarity in southern Florida. Nice views of the Greenway and canals and great for cardio workout or a hill climb on a mountain bike.
I never thought a place like this was there
Great view. Great hills for a good workout
Nice park shades area near playground with picnic tables. Area for kids to run and be kids. Only reason it was 4stars is the tree over the picnic table has termites. Not pleasant when trying to eat lunch
Best. Hills. Ever. The playground is mostly unshaded and so the slides get too hot for use, but they do have a small shade over the tall slide which keeps that one cool.No fence.Swings.No bathroom.Only three parking spots.
Great and secluded and only place in South Florida with elevation.
Its a cozy neighborhood park with like three benches. Its more like three hill park. The parking is very limited. Too limited. No public restrooms. There is a playground for kids. This park has a natural uncut area. You can bring a blanket sit and have a picnic here.
Beautiful, with greenery
Great for exercise or a walk/hike. Nice view.
Beautiful but disappointing that my dog cannot enter the park. Isnt it Just wrong????
Nice park to do multiple activities in.
I love this place and like you run up the hills I like to be with nature my only concern as I wish there is more parking spots but the place is great and its a nice secret that most people dont even know .
I love to come here to run the hills. Very nice, clean, and quiet
Its amazing, beautiful scenery, and a perfect place for playing around or doing excercise, only downside is no bathrooms and only 3 parking places, 2 normal and one handicap.
Gotta take a star for lack of parking, and the whole 2 spots (+1 handicap) is shared with the community. I got lucky to be on a motorcycle.Outside of that, the park (or nature area) is very nice, the mountains are about 90 feet so its not a hard trek, and theres a nice little secluded area in the back.
A nice hidden GEM!
Could use more parking and restrooms.
Nice park, needs major grass cutting, couldn’t do a proper run through all those thickets
Roku park lots of places to be lots of wide area I went paintballing here a couple weeks back and it was pretty great lots of trees lots of places to hide great place to have at your party or just a small get-together
Looks great, but its for locals-only 3 small parking spaces. If you have bad legs, skip this one. Probably great for birdwatchers on bikes.
Beautiful Hills luscious grass never seen in South Florida mostly flat land.
Very quiet and the scenery is beautiful.
Natural areas choked with invasive exotics! Nice looking, peaceful place otherwise.
Probably the only hills in my area
Very nice very buggy but thats nature
Great area !!! Good for running hills n good playground for kids . No water or restrooms be prepared !
