    This park is very beautiful. It has a small track for walking for light exercise. I would suggest it if your just starting to work out and you would like to become more consistent with your approach to getting healthy. There are basketball courts and tennis courts on opposite side of each end of the park. Scattered throughout they are park benches. There nestled underneath massive fig trees and provide adequate shade. There is also a pavilion with a few benches for seating. If you want to have a picnic this a good location because there are large areas of grass so that you can bring a blanket and setup your area to enjoy a great afternoon. I enjoyed doing a workout in this park because the people are very friendly and if you want to be left alone and just focus you can accomplish that as well without interruption.

    I have visited this facility multiple times in the past. I have always found the staff to be very helpful and courteous. Although the facility is closed to the public at the moment I was able to get assistance with signing my son up for the PAL winter baseball league on a Saturday morning. I look forward to visiting the park and facility again when things resume to normal.

    I am a plantation resident. The park is nice and the center is wonderful. However my experience there was not. I decided to throw a function at the center. In the beginning ( when excepting my deposit) everything sounded amazing they explained set up timing and cleanup timing. They even said to extend the hours would not be a problem. So I booked it with a 300$ deposit. The week of the event a person whom I never spoke with (female supervisor) calls with a major attitude about floor plans and her manpower demanding deadlines. I quickly complied. But I felt it going downhill from this point. She contradicted everything that was initially told to me. We wrestled over the details for at least 30 mins. Until she allowed me the time to set up. I had a few contractors for decorations to come in and they were told by the centers staff to return an hour before the event ended to pick up thier settings!! I felt like an unwanted guest the moment we arrived. We were rushed we cleaned the entire venue ourselves all they did was set a few tables and chairs out and picked them up once over. As far as my deposit they had no idea when I would receive it back it actually took over 5 weeks to get less than 200$ back. They charged me double for one hour used to clean up (that we cleaned). When in the beginning was told to us we had ample time. To make this long story short the staff is Very unprofessional and rude. All the lady would say is it's in your contract. I have a gym membership their so I may go back for that but I would Never book thier venue again. I hate dealing with unethical people.

    The facility is very nice and clean. The staff and maintenance personnel is excellent. Closer to the evening it’s incredibly sketchy. Total lack of security. Smell of weed in the air and constant car break ins . City of plantation needs to clean it up before it gets any worse.

    I never knew this place existed and I've been in Plantation for 10+ yrs. We had a party for my 3 yr old and this place was perfect. Great staff, reasonably priced, and very spacious. I will definitely use it again

    I came for s birthday party in one of the shelters and I was very impressed with the way everything was. Everything was clean and tidy. I loved the park and so did my babies. All they did was eat, use the bathroom and play in the playground. I didn't know about the water splash pad. I thought that was AWESOME !!! Regardless it was to cold for them to play in there anyways. But, I liked that you had that option. The bathrooms were nice. They didn't smell or anything. And they were stocked up on toilet paper. On the weekends , sometimes, these places tend to run low or run out but, this one didn't. You could tell the housekeeping or janitor of the community center take good care of the bathrooms and the park itself. I wouldn't mind returning here again. The play ground was awesome for my boys. They're 4 and 5 and they had a blast without any of my help. Mind you, every kid is different but, this opinion is based off of my babies. There's an area on the playground where there's a cliff or rock mountain thing that kids can climb on or off. Depending on your own kids and your own parenting means, maybe you should check this mountain thing out before anything. I did before letting them play and I watched them for a bit. At the end they were fine so, all in all, I loved this place honestly. I hope you guys do.

    I can't give an in depth review since I only use the weight room. But that room, the grounds and the building are very neat and clean. The weight room has treadmills, bikes, dumbbells and nautilus types of weight machines. The staff is friendly with smiles on their faces. I know they have a lot of programs for all ages.

    This is our neighborhood park and I am on the quest to get beach body ready by Summer and I like that the park opens early for walkers like myself and others. They have an inside gym where I use to workout when it first open and I enjoyed all of it. There is a small water park and a small park for the kids to enjoy year around and summer time. The only thing is it not open early on the weekends for walkers that is what I exprienced this past weekend.

    In the mornings it is a very nice quiet park. There is a large older crowd that comes out to walk. Everyone is friendly and everyone keeps to themselves. I would say I've notice on Monday mornings after the center is closed for the weekend, the park is littered with a large amount of trash, I'm guessing from the neighborhood kids, but is quickly cleaned up by the staff on duty.

    Very good and quiet. I went at night and there were not many people around. Was a pretty clean park. I did not check out the center yet but im sure it is good as well.
