Pretty and secluded but absolutely full of iguanas!! I mean, they were falling out of the trees, it was insane. The water and jetties were pretty and well managed, its just a shame the native lizards were so outnumbered by huge green guys

Gorgeous playground area. Nice restroom facilities, lots for the kids to do and get their energy out. Also a nice shaded area for picnics and many sports facilities in the area. Plenty of free parking for the park and playground and looks like they have a lot of activities throughout the year as well. Iguanas and lizards roam freely.

Clean. All the kids playground obstacles are serviceable and in good condition. No hazard tape.

Great park kind of in the cut but tons to do here. I believe you have to pay to rent the tennis courts not sure though. Came to burn off some calories after eating with the doggos and spent a good hour here chatting. People with boats were super nice and there are kayak and paddle board rentals. I didnt realize how extensive the park was as far as the exercise route. There are a few people taking naps and such but the park felt safe and tbh not a bad place to have a snooze! There are basketball courts as well.

Great place to bring the kids. They need to put the swings and the rest of the playground back up and let these kids play already!!!

Awesome park. always well maintained but they need to get rid of grace. yes the white older women. everytime i go there i wish she wasnt there. she always makes it a point to me feel unwelcomed. very condescending tone and rude. the one star deduction is for her.

Looking for a fishing spot? Well, this is NOT it. Paid meter parking, Boat ramps, docks, a little opening for kayak launch but forget any accommodation for a little bank fishing.

Awesome new play stuff since last year. Esp like the new pirate boat in place of the old sandy one. The new astro turf section is weird and sticky and hot though.

Went paddle boarding here with my son, very convenient launch and location. Fun to paddle past all the expensive, waterfront Ft Lauderdale homes on the water! Didnt explore the rest of the park, so I cant really comment any further, what I saw was cool...

This park is gorgeous. It’s right next to the water, there are restrooms easily accessible. There’s a pavilion for shade and two separate play areas. I recently found out there’s a little nature walk and a dock on the water you can walk on.

The only part open is the northern part,and the tennis center. The southern part is closed until further notice due to a sewage leak. Otherwise, when everything is open again,the park is awesome.

Great spot to launch a small boat, theres a fixed bridge but this ramp is always more quiet than the others. Is $13 a day for a boat trailer. There are some homeless people in the park but overall very safe atmosphere.

Review №41

This is overall a beautiful and family-kids friendly Park. I did my son birthday party there yesterday and it was so convenient with the playground being right next to the pavilion, my son and his friends totally enjoyed the playground. I give it a 4 stars simply because they should have more pavilion available, but I understand its a small area overall.. .The park has lots of parking space, its just beautiful and I will definitely recommend it and attend again.

Review №77

I love this park! It’s in a great location right off the beach with a walking trail, tennis courts, roller hockey court, baseball field, and playground area. It also has places to have parties under pavilions that you can rent. The bathrooms are pretty atrocious, though. I don’t know if they ever actually clean them. There is also a group of kids that play catch that like to scream obscenities at each other that come there pretty regularly.

It is a great place to rent jet skis or do flyboard rentals. Also a good boat launch (two of them) for the inlet. However it is a popular spot for homeless people to beg/live. Good spot for water sports, but not swim or enjoy the beach. For that I suggest the actual ocean.

Basketball, tennis, and exercise trail. Recommended for these activities.

Review №82

They have a rental area, however its not taken care of, broken glass, old fishing lines, they should have a better launch area for people its a county Park, why would u not have the area maintained. Had to have glass surgically removed from my foot. Great job Broward county

Fort Lauderdale needs to spruce up this facility! Use some of that money we voted on for the parks and recreation to update bathrooms, fix locks on the fences and just more welcoming retail.
