    I was at this park with my wife and son last weekend and I had a feeling like it was almost abandoned. We did see horses and that was all of it. Pretty much everything else is covered, closed and empty. Also you can notice that it wasn't even maintained last several months. I mean the place is great and has a lot of space, but someones has to do something before it starts falling apart. Hopefully next time we go, it will be different.

    This park has it all!! A great disc golf course, a HUGE playground for the younger (and young at heart) crowd, fishing, trails, cookout shelters and SO MUCH MORE!! It's a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the fresh air!! The bathrooms are super clean and available at all the shelters too. Bring a book, bring a fishing pole or just bring yourself... YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED 🤗👌🏼👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🚴‍♀️

    Four of us had the trail ride today at 3:00. It was one of the best I’ve ever done! The price is right and much lower than the ones in Davie. The horses are very gentle, beautiful, and well cared for! The trail ride lasts an hour and is very peaceful! All of the folks that work there are just awesome! It’s always about safety for the riders and the horses! I’d give 10 stars if I could!!!❤️

    I didn't use to pay any attention to this park until I found myself with time in my hands due to COVID. Now, I have gotten to know it quite well, and I really appreciate it and , yes, love it. " Knowing is loving". I especially like a tree that is unbelievably beautil, as unbelievable is that there is only one of such beauty. I have been monitoring it's blossoming this spring. The buds are there, but I did find that this beautiful tree is at a present danger: it is uprooted. It is still alive and blossoming but if something is t done soon, it will die. This pink blossoms tree is in the parking lot in front of the Butterfly World main entrance. Two rows towards the park's entrance. Who do I talk to to save it? I attached here some recent pictures, and about 12 from last year, in full blossom.

    They didn't have very many lights around the lake.. and that's the best part to see the reflection. They did have new ones and I love the dinosaurs cuz I'm a dinosaur nut

    A great place to go for a walk/bike ride. Every time I go I usually see people play frisbee golf. There’s a nice lake, lots of space and plenty of trees.

    Nice little escape in the middle of the city. Tradewinds Park & Stables is a beautiful that has so much to do for all ages. it also house Butterfly World. You can spend the whole day there. I would definitely recommend. You can do horseback riding, Pony rides. see the horses. and every third Saturday and Sunday of the month, they have train ride for reasonable donation of $1.50.

    It's a beautiful park, use to be full of people, kids and laughter, but thanks to one person who has nothing better to do then mess with others, be sneaky and nasty, this park is now usually empty such a shame

    The north side of tradewinds park doesnt get enough praise as far as Im concerned. So many shady places to picnic as well as horseback riding and pony rides for the children on weekends. I really do wish the petting zoo were back open. Its been a while. Just to see the beautiful horses running in the open fields as you get closer to the barns os so amazing. And as always the staff is so nice.

  • 5/5 Kat “FramerKat” H. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely and expansive park! From lakeside spots to tree shaded picnic areas to clean sports fields to horseback riding and even train rides, there's something for everyone. I've also enjoyed Butterfly World and the Holiday Fantasy of Lights at the park.

    Every November Tradewinds Park hosts a family bike ride to see the Christmas lights. It's an annual event that draws a large crowd. Kid friendly fun event. Decorate your bicycle and get ready for a memorable night.

    Filthy & Poorly maintained, you think with the amount of taxes local residents pay in this neighborhood it would be better maintained. Unfortunately the City of Coconut Creek gives very little back to the long term residents in the older neighborhoods such as this. They allow the public infrastructure, which is not on the main roads, to degenerate and fall into disrepair. Very Sad!

    Nice activity for kids to ride a pony. 1 lap costs 3 dollars, or if you take 3 laps, you get additional lap as a bonus. Staff is extremely helpful and polite. Weather was quite hot, so be prepared for sweating. Feeding animals was closed as we arrived in the afternoon.

    Nice and clean. It is big and has several lakes. The stables for the miniature horses are very well maintained. This park is usually very popular, but I am not sure how many people are going now with COVID-19 around. In any case, the staff is using masks and taking social distancing measures.

    Loved the big gazebos and bbq, bathrooms were very clean, the only issue was that the gazebo posts had lots of nails and staples, and that the bushes around had lots of garbage. Other than that, we had a great time! Gazebos has running water and electricity. 0ark entrance is 1.5 per person.

  • 4/5 Arthur W. 3 years ago on Google
    $20 per car is the best value in South Florida for such a fun holiday light show. I wish the traffic was better regulated, so that is my only complaint, but review was posted in the days of COVID-19 so I understand. The staff was friendly, and my family and I felt safe when in the park with officers in the area

    If you are visiting with your little ones, the pony rides can be a great experience for them. You can purchase as many laps as you want for your kids, and you can split up the laps throughout the day. However, keep in mind that the pony rides are only available from 11 am to 3 pm.

    The park is absolutely huge. It is better maintained than Quiet Waters Park. They charge 1.50 per person on Weekends and Holidays as of JUL 2022. Sometimes the north side entrance from Sample Road is closed. Use the south side entrance across the street. The park is interconnected from the inside and it crosses the road from underneath. This park has it all: stables, petting farm, horse rides, kiddie train ride, frisbee golf, lakes, nature trails.

  • 1/5 Blanca Q. 5 years ago on Google
    poorly maintained kids area, I was exploring the area nmwith my daughter and the playground seemed dirty. There is a small fishing area ( or so it seemed) would not go back since I didnt want to let my 3 year old play in the area

  • 5/5 Abundant L. 5 months ago on Google
    Peaceful, beautiful place to come and enjoy nature, horses, ponies, donkeys, goats, and some new long horn cattle, and of course the native wildlife. They even have train rides available on specific days. Many people also come there to walk, run, rollerblade, or ride their bikes around the park.

  • 5/5 Jan C. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place for all ages! It’s not just butterflies. They have a live bug exhibit as well as a bird exhibits. There is a little sitting area if you brought your own food or they have a snack bar. They even have a small plant nursery where you can buy the plants that attract butterflies. It’s a bit pricey but worth the trip. You may be able to find a coupon on line . If you lucky a butterfly will land on you!

  • 4/5 Tori L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice park , the petting zoo, and pony rides where closed. Petting zoo has goats and chickens . The playground was a little outdated but the little kids didn't care. We got to see some horses in there stable. The park also has a cool mini train ride but I think its only open on the 3rd weekend of the month. Took a picture of one of the horses being silly.

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this park. Great kids area, shelters, petting farm, pony rides, a historic bldg and trail rides. Reasonable about $35/hr pp. Need to phone and make reservations the day before. Nice ride through the woods. Much cooler temp than surrounding area. At least one weekend a month they used to do mini steam train rides. Lots of fun.

  • 5/5 Iris P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great park to go for a really cool mini train ride very inexpensive and fun to do for the whole family, my boy absolutely 💯 loved it 😀. Get there ealier so the lines doesn't get to long for your little ones , ya know their impatient 😉 Yes they also has a mini petting zoo and horse ridding.

  • 5/5 Maria K. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great relaxing spot to spend some time with family. Beautiful park and great activities, including horse-back riding on a long trail, pony rides for kids (<52"), playground, picnic tables, and more. We got the group horseback riding tickets ($35/person) and it was a super peaceful, beautiful hour long ride through the trails. The horses are very well trained throughout. The pony rides for kids are only $3/ride and you can guide the horse yourself! Great service and conversation with all the staff, everyone was super nice and patient.

  • 5/5 Jane K. 2 years ago on Google
    First visit! We’ve spent a lot of time exploring South Florida over the past 25 years and it’s always fun to find a new place. They use the horses for therapy. It’s a beautiful park and a beautiful young lady who works with the Therapy program was amazing. Hoping when we move to Florida I’ll be able to volunteer my services there.

  • 1/5 Sushi S. 3 years ago on Google
    The drive through Christmas decorations were very terrible value for the $20 dollar admission per car, considering I got to see NO LIGHTS while my family was in-town. I had family from out of town that wanted to do it, we went and it was only 8:00 PM but the gates were closed, it said online it closes at 10:00 PM. This caused a large amount of confusion between everyone trying to enter and caused a 30 minute traffic jam.

  • 5/5 Michael S. 3 years ago on Google
    This huge park is split in two by Sample Road. The south side is the more popular side with disc golf, covered picnic shelters for rent, walking trails through wooded fields, open grills for picnicking, and open areas along bodies of water. This is my favorite local park.

  • 5/5 Maggie E. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been coming to Tradewinds Park for the past few months with my son and we both think it's a great park. My son will be 3 years old in 4 months and refuses to even consider wearing a mask so we have been doing a lot of nature based outdoor activity this year. This park is large enough and there are few enough people (weekdays is when we go) that keeping our distance and limiting contact to distantly passing by other people on the path is very easy. There are actually 2 sides to the park. Sample Road splits it so you either turn into the park to the South where there is a disc golf course, some nice paved paths for walking, cycling or my personal favorite: wagon rides... There's also a playground which is closed and roped off with so much orange fencing and rope that even my headstrong daredevil toddler doesn't try to breach the perimeter. Butterfly World also takes up a small plotbof land in the park, probably why there is such an abundance of butterflies in the surrounding meadows (nothing fancy, just little guys). I'm pretty sure the bathrooms are all closed, but we haven't reached that magical milestone yet and I would rather give myself a kidney stone than use a public restroom right now, so we haven't officially checked that out. The water fountains are definitely covered over with plastic but all the garbage cans seem to be in use and regularly serviced. The North side of the park is where the stables are located and where they do the holiday light drive thru every year. My son was beyond delighted to go on a "Christmas Adventure" to see the lights one night last week and I have to admit the display is impressive, $20 well spent. Of course had I known how excited he'd be to walk up to the displays in the daytime when they aren't even lit up, I would have saved the $20. Well, no I wouldn't have, but the fact remains that my son loved going for a walk thru the unlit displays so much that we went twice this week, spending a whole morning walking around a different area each day. Today when we went the entire pasture by the stables was full of horses and ponies, a few dozen I'd estimate. While we knew there were stables and a farm here we'd never actually checked any of that out so it was a nice little surprise for both of us. Further back there is a general store (closed for COVID) and a small farm that apparently allowed kids to come in and pet the animals pre-COVID with chickens, goats and bulls. My son was over the moon to "discover" this little farm. He talked to the goats and chickens, he said hello to the "mooses" which after much debate we agreed had horns not antlers and so they had to be bulls, not "mooses". They alsobhad a sign for pony rides, also closed and a closed playground. I can't wait to come back post-COVID when everything reopens. Then there's this little railroad that we actually parked by. The schedules says it only runs one weekend a month, but another sign says open weekends. Either way it was closed today, Friday, and that was great because the walk along the tracks was lovely and easy for my little guy to navigate. One and only drawback...FIREANTS!!!! The hills are everywhere. My son stepped in several until he saw the ants boiling out of the mound. We bring a picinic blanket to lay out for lunch or snacks and we are super careful where we set it.
