Confirmed from Colee Hammock Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Small park & green space on the water popular for picnics, river fishing & scenic views.

This small, well-maintained and incredibly serene park is a hidden treasure right behind bustling Las Olas Boulevard. If you love cool ocean breezes, plenty of shade, peace and quiet, beautiful tropical flora, and a place to read, picnic, rest, or view every manner of sea vessel navigating the deep blue sea, then this…
This park is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, quiet and relaxing. The scenic waterfront views are immaculate with views of the gorgeous mansions directly facing you. The breeze makes you feel like you're floating on air. The park is super clean. Ideal for romantic dates, picnics, yoga, meditation and relaxing.
My Favorite Park for Picnics & Relaxing. The people who frequent the park are really nice and everyone does their due diligence in keeping it clean. Not much parking but there are options across the street. It's also off of Las Olas so you're in walking distance to popular restaurants and bars.
A gorgeous 1.1 acre park on the south fork of the New River. It has lovely trees, benches, tables, and a stunning view of the river and the surrounding mansions that line it. There are a few parking spots lining the outside of the park.
