Snyder Park - Fort LauderdaleHope Nelson: I recently visited the dog swim area at Snyder Park, and I can’t rave enough about our experience! This hidden gem is perfect for pups and their owners looking for a fun day in the water.
First and foremost, the clarity of the water is impressive. On a sunny day, you can see straight to the bottom, making it easy to spot any toys your dog might drop. The cleanliness of the area is also commendable; it’s evident that the park staff takes great care to maintain this space.
The layout is fantastic, with plenty of shade and seating for humans to relax while their furry friends splash around. My dog was overjoyed! she had a blast swimming and playing with other dogs, all in a safe and well-maintained environment.
The surrounding park offers lovely trails for a nice walk before or after swimming, making it a perfect outing. If you’re looking for a great place to let your dog enjoy some water fun, Snyder Park’s dog swim area is the place to be. We’ll definitely be returning soon!
George English Park - Fort LauderdaleHarrison C. Davies: From sunrise to sunset, enjoy this scenic cove of nature, which doubles as a lazy marina where you can throw in some water sports on the Intracoastal. Its also a great place for a quick walk or an afternoon picnic. Thank you City of Fort Lauderdale Parks and Recreation!

LauderGO! Water Trolley - Fort LauderdaleGissella Lightsey: It is no doubt a great attraction to do in Fort Lauderdale and come on Its free.
I will say it’s amazing if I could have had the 2 hours round trip I read about . Unfortunately I went on a Saturday and I got the ending of the stops by the Olas Boulevard Stop.
Boat Lady was not in her best mood (all I can say because I don’t like to bad mouth people) … but I will try another day of the week to see if I get a better experience.
Any way… grateful for the city of Fort Lauderdale that offers this service for free !! Amazing …
After doing this boat ride .. you can enjoy a walk around .. for example I had a walk around Las Olas Boulevard … great … great time, great stores, great restaurants !!
XP1 snorkel - Fort LauderdaleJay Williams: Easy booking, great staff, learned a ton about the area by the tour/dive master.
World AIDS MUSEUM and Educational Center - Fort LauderdaleRose I.: I went here around 2017 and was very impressed by the museum. It jogged my memory of those AYDS weight loss candies. I learned a lot too. I hope the museum stays open. I became aware of the museum while working in a county school when some people came in to the school to educate the students about risky behaviors and HIV and they mentioned the museum.
Lewis Landing Park - Fort LauderdaleAriel W.: Lewis Landing Park in Ft. Lauderdale has quite an amazing history. Archaeological items relating to the Tequesta including animal bones, pottery shards,and shells were found in the park in 2010 indicating a village was here from 800 to 1200 A.D.. The Tequesta were Native Americans who lived along the New River for at least 5,000 years. They used dugout canoes to travel the river from the Everglades to the Atlantic Ocean. When Spain claimed Florida there were thousands of Tequesta but by the time they gave Florida to England in 1763 there were less than 300 left having been wiped out by disease and sold as slaves to Cuba.
The park is named for the Lewis family who came from the Bahamas in 1792 and settled on the banks of the New River. They lived on a farm growing coconuts, guava, limes and oranges until 1824. It was believed that their farm served as a way station for the British who were trying to subvert Spanish control. In 1830, Frankee Lewis now a widow sold the land for $400.
Ten years ago the park was a vacant residential property. It has now been turned into a river front park with gazebos, a jogging path, a fishing dock, an observation deck, park benches, picnic tables, and a water fountain. The only drawback to the park is that parking is extremely limited with one car parking spot and one handicapped.
On January 24, 2015 a statue of a Tequesta Indian sculpted by artist Nida Comas was added to the park. Plaques on the pedestal of the statue provide information about the Tequesta people who are now extinct.
This beautiful park is the perfect place to exercise, enjoy a picnic or just take in the beautiful water view. It is also a wonderful place to sit and contemplate the people who came before us who once canoed down the waterways.
Reverend Samuel Delevoe Memorial Park - Fort LauderdaleRick The Grandmastr: Very nice chill park. Seems quiet but it was just 9:30am So children playing maybe in a daycare program was beautiful. They had adult supervision by many adults and that was great!
