    We had the barbecue festival over there. It was an amazing experience, and it is a beautiful park. Great Riverwalk but we need more affordable parking.

    I visited the Esplanade Park during the weekday and had a great time. The park is located in the heart of the city and is a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. There are many different things to see and do at the park. The waterfront gardens are a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy the view of the Singapore River. The pavilion is a great place to take a break and enjoy a drink or snack. The Esplanade Park is part of the Riverwalk Park route, which is a 2.5 km long pedestrian and cycling path that runs along the Singapore River. The Riverwalk Park is a great way to explore the city and see some of the city's most famous landmarks. The Park is a popular spot for hosting outdoor events, such as concerts, festivals, and markets. I was lucky enough to visit the park during a festival, and it was a lot of fun. There were food stalls, live music, and a lot of people enjoying the atmosphere. The Esplanade Park is wheelchair accessible, and there are ramps and accessible toilets throughout the park. This makes it a great place for people of all abilities to enjoy. In addition to that there are public toilets located throughout the park, which is very convenient. The park was filled with children during my visit, which made it a very lively and fun place to be. The children were playing in the gardens, running around, and enjoying the playground. Overall, I had a great time visiting the Esplanade Park. It is a beautiful park with a lot to offer visitors. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Singapore.

    I happened to being in the aera and I came across this beautiful promenade Park. There is City bike rentals, a green grass area, and a stage for small concerts. there is a free small fairy ride that goes along the river. I found street parking but I'm not sure if there's a large parking lot. Look at my photos for more details and follow me on this and Instagram @Happy_Explorer_2

    A sweet park with a band shell/amphitheater on the river across from the Discovery Center and next to the Broward PAC. covered parking if $15 (approx) There are bathrooms. The walk along the dock to River Walllk isn't too bad. There are benches along the way and another cultural center. Today was the We, The People rally and March. #WeThePeople #WTP lots of folks showed up: meso American indigenous peoples came in full regalia, danced, changed, marched, smudge pots... a wide variety of issues were addressed. David Hogg (Parkland HS graduate and student when the school was "attacked" by a former student with an AR15... there's a big issues. Women's Rights organizations, represented and The BLM movement, with Woke reps spoke to the crowd, too, and the LGBTQ+ community came out in droves! All in solidarity to protest against DeSantis (1000+) policies which were hard fought and won! It's a start, and we're the ones to make a change! #UnitedStates #Democracy #GovDeSantis

    Nice place for kids to play and adults to chill out. The jazz music every month brings attention and there’s a variety of food trucks during the jazz festival. Close to the Riverwalk makes it accessible through water!

    Always looking out for their events. They are great at taking any opportunity to celebrate anything really. Feels inclusive and is a chance to support the community and to come together. Please never stop. Was there last for Day of the Dead, it was fantastic, ran too long for our little one, but we enjoyed it and the cultural exposure simply fantastic, and the water taxi free ride; was everything!!!!

    Came here for a food festival. There were a lot of food trucks and businesses with tents there. Food was good, atmosphere was fun, they had an MC and DJ and it is right by the river. Nice! Look forward to next festival there

    Really nice park that was very busy during a Saturday. I’m not sure if it was something that happens every weekend but there was a farmer market like fair that was going selling local crafts (1 food place), a couple doing extreme yoga in the center & some musicians performing at a stage.

    I strolled through this beautiful park in the heart of Fort Lauderdale right along New River. The spring day brought out bright colors against a blue sky. They had some war memorials and an amphitheater. Boats came and went from docks on the river edge. I continued my explore up North River Walk which connected with other parks and historic sites.

  • 5/5 LaVarn P. 2 years ago on Google
    A very calm outdoor experience. I recommend this park. Bring you picnic baskets, chairs, umbrellas and small portable tables. Be ready to enjoy the jazz performances. There are other events as well.

  • 5/5 Christine V. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean park and nice views right on the water. Next to the theater so if you wanted to check out a play, the park is a nice place to get some fresh air before or after. Or just relax next to the water.

    Visited for the first time for their New Years Eve celebration. The activities were mainly geared towards kids which was cool but it would have been nice to have stuff for teenagers and adults besides food and alcohol.....lol. There was live music which was cool. Stayed till midnight for the fireworks but that was a little disappointing. Overall a good experience though.

    A great place to stay, walk around and take some pictures after going to the theater, a calm and beautiful place by the water!

    I've been here a few times, either for an event or just exploring downtown and passing by. I recently had some fire tacos and sat by the lake. Pretty fun.

  • 5/5 Meeeshellmybell 6 months ago on Google
    Great venue! You can spend time in the sun or under trees. It's also nice that you can see the water and boats go by.

    Beautiful waterfront park with plenty of space for parties, picnics and DJ’s to set up for impromptu live sets.

  • 5/5 Taras T. 7 months ago on Google
    Great place for a picnic on a warm afternoon in Fort Lauderdale. Near Canal for fresh air. Bring a blanket and umbrella and head out with the family for relaxing time.

  • 5/5 Emily R. 8 months ago on Google
    I came here for the We The People march, and I want to say, the venue was AMAZING! Open area right on the water. Restrooms available. there were benches in the shade. Perfection.

  • 5/5 Nick T. 10 months ago on Google
    It's always a fun and family friendly event at Esplanadae Par on the weekends! This time it was pirate themed with a rock climbing wall, bounce house for kids, costume contest, live cannon fire display and plenty of food and drink vendors!

  • 5/5 Hughes S. 2 years ago on Google
    Just minutes off main las olas blvd. We were launching our boat from the river and I was surprised to see that they have a Saturday jazz at the park with music, people dancing, dogs and owners just chilling on the grass, groups of friends with their coolers enjoying the day, vendors, food , it was really awesome !!! I definitely want to try the Saturday jazz.. Great initiative 👏 👍 👌 🙌

    Beautiful river front , nice places to seat and look at the river, love it. I was there with my son, after visiting the Museum and we walked a little and rest on the bench inthe shade. Very pleasant and beautiful. Will come back again with my wife and son.

  • 4/5 Tommey L. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun park to explore near the river/riverwalk. Home of many events such as IGNITE Broward and the annual New Year's Eve celebrations. It's also across from the Museum of Discovery and Science. There is a pay-to-park parking lot nearby. The only downside is I wish there was free parking (very sparse due to downtown Fort Lauderdale), and the park was bigger. I'm used to big parks when I travel abroad.

    Outdoor toilets work, grounds are well kept, beautiful water views, lovely concert series.

  • 5/5 Catherine H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great waterfront park- lovely, and clean. It is right outside the broward theater of performing arts and across the street from the science museum. Parking is easy. Great spot to walk down by the water. We have been to many events and family gatherings here. Even brought the dog here a few times! Fun to watch the boats pass by, down the river. There are public restrooms here as well.

  • 5/5 Valerie C. 1 year ago on Google

    I booked a tour with attractions4 us and it was a fraud the place was closed. When a guy finnally appeared he was very very rude. Now im fighting to get my money back. Terrible experience.

  • 4/5 J C. 2 years ago on Google
    Right on the intercoastal. Nice to have a picnic and watch the big boats go by. Could use a better cleaning in the area. Noticed a couple homeless people but they didn't bother anyone. Shame the historic River house there has closed. All the water taxis were loading and unloading passengers right there too.

    This park is located right across the street from the children's museum. The park has a beautiful gazebo that overlooks the water. The gazebo is shockingly large and it provides a great amount of shade. The area wasn't busy at all, there weren't that many people there, but I've been to the museum before and I know that the area does fill up quickly. There were quite a few homeless people, which I normally wouldn't make a note of, except for the fact that one of them seemed to be groaning in pain near where we parked and trying to sleep. When we got close to the water to take photos, there were quite a few exposed needles and that's definitely not an area I'd bring our toddler. There were a lot of runners and bikers. It seems like a popular place to host a yoga class. It was hot, classic Florida, and other than the gazebo there really wasn't that much shade.

    The free floating docks a a gem!!! We dock here and take the short walk to one of the many nearby restaurants. This is also a great spot to watch the sunset.

  • 5/5 Primrose T. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this park. I'm a photographer and I often take my clients here to take pics. On Sundays and any chance I have for a quiet morning, I go on walks here. The people who walk there dogs usually clean up after them and the joggers and bikers are polite. Hands down one of my fave spots in Fort Lauderdale.
