West Lake Park - Hollywood (FL)

5 /5 Alejandra Fuentes: Love! Love! LOVE! One of my fave place to kayak. I believe its 15 an hour for a single. The water is brackish so not for swimming. There is also a playground and lots of parking. There is also an entrance fee for the park per vehicle. I believe 8 dollars.

5 /5 Magdaly Flores: Love this park! Whether you’re enjoying a picnic under the trees,, playing basketball with friends or heading out on the water for some kayaking, the place is perfect. There’s plenty of open space, peaceful scenery, and it’s always clean and well maintained.

5 /5 Melina Montalban: I grew up going to West Lake Park as a kid, and while there have been big changes, it still retains its beautiful landscape, only more updated. My toddler enjoys the new and improved version since I was kid. They have a whole new modern playground and a splash pad which she loves. The area seems secure and is well-maintained in terms of cleanliness. They still have the basketball court, volleyball, paddle and tennis courts, and a huge open field surrounded by trees and grass, all overlooking the Hollywood Water Tower. The entrance fee is very reasonable. The park definitely has made significant improvements. Highly recommended for family outings!

5 /5 Eli Bonilla: Great place to spend the outdoors. Many things to choose from, kayaking canoeing or just having fun outside.

5 /5 Mitchell Ball: For over five years, West Lake Park has become my sanctuary—a true home away from home. Each time I set out on the water, I am greeted with a unique perspective, shaped by different trails and varying weather conditions. The beauty of the park is that no two paddling experiences are alike; whether its the gentle ripples of a calm morning or the vibrant colors of a sunset reflecting off the water, theres always something new to admire. The waterways are impeccably maintained, ensuring a pleasant journey, and in case of emergencies—like getting lost—the marina staff are incredibly helpful and ready to assist. One of my favorite traditions at West Lake Park is hosting a Paddling Potluck party every year at one of the many pavilions scattered throughout the park. It’s an event I look forward to as it brings together fellow paddlers, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie. Sharing food and stories around the picnic tables while overlooking the tranquil waters is an experience that never fails to fill my heart with joy. With rentals being very reasonable, it makes it easy for both seasoned paddlers and newcomers to join in on the fun. Every moment spent at West Lake Park reinforces my love for this beautiful oasis and the unforgettable memories it provides.
