Confirmed from Coral Gate 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.
Sports-themed green space with playgrounds, tennis courts and basketball courts.

“Coral Gate Park have two nice playground for kids of all ages.”
This is a very nice athletic park for the residents and visitors of Margate. Unlike a lot of the parks that close at sun down this park has lights and is open until 10 PM. There are three half court basketball courts and four tennis courts. A large playground is in the back of the park.
I discovered this park while searching for a good spot with a walking trail and basketball court, and I’m really impressed! It’s a fantastic park WELLl lit and has pickleball and tennis courts, a nice gazebo area, a playground, and a nice walking trail.
It's a beautiful wide open park. I love to go for a walk around the different parts of the park; from the pickleball courts, soccer fields, workout area, playground, and baseball fields. There is even this small wildlife section for owl nests.
A great park for kids to play sports and get exercise. The park has tennis two courts, three basketball courts, a children's play ground and a running path that circles the park. There are plenty of benches and water fountains throughout the park as well as some gazebos to shelter from the sun.
