Find a Park

Tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway, this peaceful sanctuary offers visitors a slice of coastal wilderness within a vibrant city. Fort Lauderdale’s “Central Park” was gifted to the city by Hugh Taylor Birch, for whom the urban oasis is named.

America’s first undersea park, John Pennecamp Coral Reef State Park offers visitors an unforgettable glimpse into the diverse underwater world of the coral reef.

With 1,043 acres, Oleta River State Park is Florida's largest urban park and a tranquil refuge from the bustling life of the city. Relax in one of the picnic areas, unwind at the end of a fishing pole or take a kayak down the peaceful Oleta River.

Accessible only by boat, a quick ride allows you to enjoy pristine beaches, lush mangroves and an offshore reef. A boardwalk takes visitors across mangrove forests and hammocks of live oaks, cabbage palms, paradise trees and wild limes to a neatly preserved Atlantic beach.
