Best parks in South Florida
South Florida's winter is best spent outdoors in the parks, the Everglades, on the water. In places that are hostile in the summer because of the mosquitos and heat.
I'm partial to parks that cater to the under 5 set, which meet the needs of my 23 month old.
There's the newly expanded Hardy Park in Fort Lauderdale, which has cool chair-like swings for kids at heart.
The ground cover is artificial grass and crumbled tires.
We also like the Riverland Park that has two playground sets, a swing set and a nearby bathroom. The ground cover is mulch.
But I'm always on the hunt for another park that has a (reasonably) clean playset, a bathroom in close promixity and a covered pavilion or trees with shade.
