Confirmed from Dania Cove 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.
What runners say about Dania Cove Park
“A great quiet (when the planes are not flying over) little spot hidden at the end of a residential street.”
Parking and the main entrance for Dania Cove Park is located on SW 25th Terrace. There is a second entrance to the park on SW 45th Street but there is no parking. If you interested in checking out the park, it is pretty close to the Florida landmark restaurant, Tropical Acres.
A great quiet (when the planes are not flying over) little spot hidden at the end of a residential street. There are covered picnic tables to have lunch at, some smaller picnic tables along the paved trail, and a trail that goes around the canal with various little benches to take a contemplative seat at.
Very cool little park. We stopped here for a smoke. It has covered picnic tables and it's near the water. The downsides....it is in a neighborhood and also right by the airport. We enjoyed watching the planes but it is loud. They are very low as they're coming into the airport.
