Running through the Everglades
Aside from several greenways and small green spaces, Flamingo Road Linear Park is the only park within this small neighborhood. This sunny green space lies next to a town house complex and offers a 1 1/2 mile trail featuring intermittent wellness stations. For a more challenging ride or run, athletes can enter the Everglades Conservation Levee Greenway on the northwestern border of Sawgrass. The flat, unpaved trail makes a 28-mile loop around a large swath of wetlands. The trail runs through Markham Park, on the southern border of Sawgrass. This 650-acre green space offers mountain biking trails, campgrounds, and a rifle range. Also in Sawgrass is the Amerant Bank Arena, where the Florida Panthers ice hockey team plays, and the site of music performances. The Sunrise Civic Center Aquatics Complex is just over a mile east of Sawgrass, part of a large municipal area with a theater, art gallery and other city services.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
