Local parks offer exercise, wildlife and family-oriented amenities
Tephford Park runs along the Stranahan River and is the go-to place for fresh air and exercise. It features a fitness court with outdoor workout stations; numerous pavilions with picnic tables and seating; an enclosed playground with climbing structures and rocking animals, including a purple dinosaur; a fishing pier, and walking paths that take you to different points of interest, such as the “Under the Shadow of the Big Tree” sculpture made of steel and stone that was dedicated to the fallen Broward County Sheriff’s Office deputy whom that park is named after. Tephord is long — burrowing owls nest there, and it’s essentially the beginning of the 16.5-mile Cypress Creek Greenway, a bike path that runs along the river from the Everglades to the Atlantic Ocean. Opposite the park on the other side of the Sawgrass Expressway is the Sawgrass Trailhead, the start of another greenway for walkers and bikers that extends north to Parkland, south to Markham Park and west into the Everglades — a favorite place for residents to gather and watch the sunset. The Tamarac Sports Complex is very close, too. It has everything that sports lovers in the family could want, including a hockey rink, a skate park, tennis and basketball courts, football and soccer fields, and two full-sized and one Little League-sized baseball fields.
Well-thought-out landscape designs make Southgate Park in Coral Springs a relaxing spot.
