Falcon's Lea Park

Park Overview

Positioned in Davie, Florida, Falcon's Lea Park spans a modest 4.5 acres - not massive by any means, but just right for a neighborhood retreat. You'll find this little green haven conveniently nestled between the Ivanhoe Community Center and Davie Fire Rescue Station 91, making it an easy spot to visit for locals looking for a quick outdoor escape.

Facilities

The heart of this park is a spacious shelter that you can reserve for your next gathering. With six picnic tables (each a generous 6×5 feet), you've got plenty of room to spread out. The shelter can host up to 35 people, excellent for birthday celebrations, family reunions, or just a weekend cookout with friends. Just a heads up - the gazebo area might be showing its age a bit with some wear and tear.

Recreation

Got kids with energy to burn? The shaded playground is a lifesaver, especially during Florida's warmer months. While not enormous, it's thoughtfully designed with the younger crowd in mind.

Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the World Trail fitness course that weaves throughout the park. It's a nice change from traditional gym workouts - you'll come across different stations with clear instructions for exercises that use your body weight as resistance. Run between stations, and you've got yourself a complete circuit training session.

The park has become something of an unofficial spot for parkour enthusiasts and calisthenics fans, thanks to its multi-level walls and open spaces. If you're looking for something more relaxed, a paved walking trail meanders through the grounds - ideal for a peaceful stroll or walking your four-legged friend.

Points of Interest

One unexpected feature that adds character to this neighborhood park is a thoughtful memorial statue to Gandhi, surrounded by those multi-level walls mentioned earlier.

The large open play area gives everyone room to toss a frisbee, kick a soccer ball, or just stretch out on the grass with a good book. While Falcon's Lea may not be the biggest park around, it offers a clean, well-maintained space where you can enjoy fresh air and greenery without having to venture far from home.
