Completed
in
1989,
Oscar
Wind
Park
is
located
along
State
Road
84
and
Interstate
75.
When
it
opened
it
was
the
first
park
near
Weston
and
Bonaventure,
paid
for
with
city
money,
The
park
was
named
in
honor
of
Oscar
Wind,
the
developer
who
donated
the
land
in
1983
when
the
city
annexed
the
area.
In
1993,
six
more
acres
were
added
to
the
park
as
was
a
new
softball
field,
a
soccer/football
field
and
a
new
park
shelter.
Today
the
park
is
looking
better
than
ever.
A
new
playground
and
outdoor
fitness
court
were
unveiled
last
month
which
increased
the
fitness
and
play
options
in
the
City
of
Sunrise.
The
new
playground
is
ADA
accessible
with
a
wheelchair
entry.
It
now
has
more
than
a
dozen
play
structures
including
slides,
swings,
climbers,
and
a
merry
go
round.
Elements
were
added
to
foster
learning,
inspire
music,
and
provide
tactile
games.
The
playground
is
covered
in
shade
canopies
and
new
seating
and
landscaping
were
added.
Also
brand
new
at
Oscar
Wind
Park
is
the
first
Fitness
Court
in
the
city
and
it
is
also
shade
covered
like
the
playground.
The
Fitness
Court
has
an
app
on
the
side
that
teaches
you
how
to
use
it.
You
do
a
circuit
of
exercises
using
your
own
body
weight
in
order
to
condition
and
strengthen
during
work
outs.
It
can
be
modified
for
all
fitness
levels.
Additional
park
features
included
an
open
green
space
with
a
new
1/2
mile
walking
path,
new
landscaping,
renovations
to
the
restroom
and
picnic
pavilion,
and
new
LED
lighting.
My
favorite
improvement
is
that
there
is
now
a
connecting
walkway
between
Oscar
Wind
Park
and
Sawgrass
Sanctuary
Park.
I
like
that
you
can
do
a
really
long
walking
circuit
around
both
parks
and
never
have
to
go
into
the
road.
The
two
parks
blend
together
seamlessly.
With
the
new
additions
to
Oscar
Wind
Park,
I
think
this
is
the
best
place
in
the
city
to
enjoy
nature,
take
the
kids
to
play,
and
exercise.
