Find a Park

Literally the last stop in Florida before stepping off into the Gulf of America, few parks of any kind can match both the historical and natural significance of Fort Zachary Taylor State 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.
