Barkham, the dog park in Sunrise’s Markham Park, was recently named the Best Dog Park in the 2009's “Best of” issue of New Times Broward and Palm Beach.

Two other Broward County parks made it to the “Best of” issue: Fern Forest Nature Center in Coconut Creek was named the Best Nature Trail, and the Ski Rixen at Quiet Waters in Deerfield Beach for Best Place To Get Wet.

Every year, the New Times’s “Best of” issue lists and rates South Florida’s most popular attractions and events, as well as the best restaurants and bars, and most prominent local artists, politicians, professionals and activists.

Markham Park is at 16001 W. State Rd. 84. For more information on the park, call 954-389-2000.
