    Awesome Park! I spent a few hours here this morning and there is truly something for everyone. It's $1.50 per person to enter on the weekends. There are walking trails, bicycling, RC planes, Drones, Paragliding, fishing, pavilions, grills and a small boat launch for canoeing. The park is huge and very spread out so it doesn’t seem at all crowded, with plenty of spaces to relax and unwind. It was really quite peaceful. The hills are great to climb and give you a good workout. Today I went specifically to see burrowing owls and I was not disappointed. They were out and about everywhere. So cute! I left very happy!

    Wow! I really enjoyed this park. It admittedly is built on top of the reclaimed recycling area, but in Florida the elevation gives it a view of the entire area. Great hiking trails. You can bring your horse ride bicycles. Walk your dog. Fly your airplane. It's amazing

    Vista View Park is just that! Amazing elevated views in the Southwest Ranches, Pembroke Pines area. We went this weekend and it was glorious. Nice winds and temps around 70. I would definitely recommend to anyone that misses elevated areas. Florida is flat but this park gives you a bit of it.

    Awesome park with lots of trails. I guess it's the only park in the area with a hill. It feels amazing to view sunset from this hill. If you are lucky, you may also see some kites flying high.

    Really enjoy coming to this park. Starting with the grounds, they're well kept and a bit different from other parks in the area. The "hills" give it a cool factor as you can drive and park at the top and have a really nice view of the city or watching kites flying. The pavillions are also nicely kept and well located. There are paved bicycle trails as well as off-road trails, which are really fun. It's not a huge park, but it's usually not overcrowded. There's also a nice sized playground for kids.

    Vista View park is a wonderful park with something for the whole family. Catch up on your basketball shots on the well maintained courts, score a goal in the soccer area, fly your drones or kites, run, walk, picnic....I can go on and on.. There are pavilions for rent, restrooms are always clean. You have to take your own snacks and drinks but there is a vending machine. Fun way to spend time with the family or come out and be your best self exercise your heart out on the trails. The cons to this park is it opens to late not giving runners like myself and others to run and cross train without the sun scorching you. They close to early not giving folks time to enjoy that glorious sunset it's known for. However, it is an amazing park, nestled on the out the outskirts of Davie. Definitely one of my favorites.

    I absolutely love Vista View Park! It's great for families or individuals-- a good spot for hanging out, working out, taking kids, and/ or taking dogs. Although it's a former landfill, it never smells weird. It's also very clean and well-kept. The hills are perfect for working out, even if just getting a walk in. There are little trails on and around the hills, whether you are walking, running, biking, or if you have a stroller. On and around the hills there are not too many shaded spots, so come prepared with water and sunscreen. The views are nice, and the hills make you feel like you're temporarily somewhere else (since we don't have any real hills around here). This park has pavilions, picnic tables, workout zones, trails, playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball courts. Vista View Park is dog-friendly for dogs on a 6 foot leash or shorter. This is not a dog park; there are no off-leash zones. Like other Broward County parks, this park is usually free to enter; there is only a fee on weekends and holidays ($1.50pp).

    Our “go to” park.. Lots of walking trails where you can spot owls. Lots of space for kiddos to run around. They have two playground options, one for smaller kiddos, and a splash pad. You can also walk up or drive up the “hill” for views.

    I took my 15 month grandson to the new water park. He had a fantastic time. You can have a picnic with the family and friends. Go walking or bike riding. Have birthday parties. 🎈🎈. I had a great time. They have a playground for the kids and they do have restrooms.

    Very nice park! BIG! You will never feel crowded. There are seats strategically located in order for you to feel in solitude. Perfect to gather your ideas. Great location to see and photograph wildlife. BTW, this place was a landfill and was converted into the park it is today.

    This is our most frequented local park. It is one of the only places to get elevation in Florida 🤣 this is a dog friendly park. There are playgrounds, exercise paths, walking trails, biking paths, soccer fields, basketball courts, gazebos, and more. There is a parking fee on weekends but it is free on weekdays. I love that there are so many trail options to accommodate whatever distance you are hoping for that day. Be sure to say hi to the burrowing owls, palm mice, rabbits, iguanas, ducks, and various other creatures you can see around this park!

    Went fishing here with my nephew before I had to fly home. Beautiful place with nice clean landscaping. We caught plenty of fish between my sister, my nephew and my girlfriend. My niece was also there but didn't fish. Lol. Would love to return there one day to fish. Water was so nice. Highly recommend this place.

    Great hidden treasure...not a wooded park. Awesome for kite flying, picnics, parties, bike riding, little kiddos (playground) and families. Loved how peaceful when you get to the top (can also drive Up) Wheelchair accessible. The views from the trail up the hill was amazing and there are regular flat trails as well. Many benches along the way for a break if needed.

  • 4/5 Tamara B. 2 years ago on Google
    This park is very nearby, For some reason I had never been there before. We headed there with the bikes in the back of the truck, and proceeded to do about 6 1/2 miles in no time. The park has an amazing amount of pavilions and they seem to be a very popular place for parties. There is plenty of room! The bike trails and walking paths were active, but not crowded. We topped the day off with a wonderful picnic lunch at one of the vacant benches, at one of many, “Vista Views”. There was a very minimal amount of construction in one area, but easy to go around. We will be back!

    The is the first time I’ve seen a hill in Florida! This is a beautiful place to bring your dog for a walk or just to come and get some fresh air. It’s $1.50 per person. There’s tons of space to walk and different places to walk and it’s really peaceful if you are in need of some fresh air or peace.

  • 5/5 Tiff 10 months ago on Google
    This park is great for location, as it is centrally located and a close exit from the highway. Great for working out or gathering with friends at a pavillion. I have had family photo shoots at this park, birthday parties, regular bbq's, and also days in the sun just flying a kite. There are large grassy areas for different activities and bathrooms near the main playground. On our visit, we saw burrowing owls and the babies. So cute. They were roped off for protection with signs.

    What isn’t there to love about this park? So many things to do from fishing, running, hill sprints, meditating you name it! Bathrooms are always clean and so are the park grounds. Love coming here a few times a month.

    Excellent view of the surrounding landscape. Not going to find anything else with elevation in the area so definitely worth checking out!

    Always enjoy visiting this park. Had a pleasant surprise when I went this week...we saw turtles! They swam to where we were on the dock. The walkways and trails are well maintained and it's just a lovely park to check out.

    We love this park for the hiking and walking trails. The playground used to be so nice but it is very deteriorating like rust and needs a major update. Look at pics. Someone could be majorly hurt.

  • 5/5 Nubian L. 3 months ago on Google • 47 reviews New
    I spend lots of time here than any place else ever besides my home. I go to clear my head, to run, walk the many trails, try to get lost in nature and interact with other like minded humans. This is a very Clean park, well maintained with devoted sanitation crew and patrol crew. There’s also a police officer that patrols the area. I need to ask one favor though to Broward Parks. Can that ginormous pot hole at the entrance of the western overview lot be filled? When it rains that area gets puddled and flooded and I fear it would drown me in my car. Also it makes it impossible to walk up and downhill. Besides this issue I love this park! P/s starting 01.01.2024 entry fees for weekend and holidays now $3.00 per car. Apple Pay accepted 😁

    This park is Big, and I love that it is dog friendly. There are long trails to walk on and lots of space to have gatherings far enough from other parties. We went for lunch and we had a grill and a place for trash. also PLENTY for the kids to run around. There are pavilions too as in other parks but you may want to inquire about it at their website.

  • 5/5 Nick T. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great time participating in the King of the Hill 5k Run/Walk today! The park looked well taken care of and the view from the top of the hill was amazing. Great parking with plenty of spots available and a very nice Jungle Gym for exercising!

  • 5/5 Michelle G. 5 months ago on Google
    Beautiful park, safe, and plenty of wildlife. Love the walking trails!

  • 5/5 A. S. C. 5 months ago on Google
    Great place to watch a sunset or exercise. You see a lot of other activities too. $1.50 per person cost on weekends and holidays. There is bathrooms and small exercise equipment playground

  • 5/5 Dannin D. 4 months ago on Google
    Great park with probably the highest land height hills in south Florida. The hills are perfect for kite flying or grass sledding. I've seen people Para gliding here. These hills have road access to, so you don't have to walk up. There is a lake and a jogging/walking paved path with exercise stops. . Open sunrise to sunset great views off both from here.

  • 5/5 Tony M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great park!! Different running routes and trails. Different options, flat, hilly, gravel. Great biking routes! Beautiful views! Plenty of things to do!

  • 4/5 Bruce D. 2 years ago on Google
    A spacious park offering plenty of open spaces for outdoor fun. Playgrounds are shaded and nicely appointed for kids. Bathrooms are clean with the Mens room providing a changing table. Lots of parking. Watch out for wildlife!

  • 4/5 sebastian e. 2 years ago on Google
    Very clean, spacious, and has great terrain for walking, hiking and even biking. Lots of pavilions with many things to do, including designated areas for parking and fishing/enjoying the lake view. It can get a little crowded sometimes and there is an admission fee sometimes but that’s understandable. Overall a great place!

  • 5/5 Lindsey R. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place. They held a spartan race here years ago, and it's the best place for it. For those who like working out outside, this is a fantastic place. The mountains are perfect to build your legs. Huge area, easy to have alone time, or intimate couple time. It picked up about an hour before they closed.
