Confirmed from Davies Plantation 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.
Paved walking trail & lake-view park featuring picnic tables, swings and playground equipment.
What runners say about Davies Plantation Park
“I love walking my dog out here, and there's even a field for them to run leash free (if no one is around) Safe, clean, and never too busy!”
“Beautiful park with a walk path around the lake with benches all around to sit and enjoy the scenery.”
“And it's quiet usually, so it's somewhat relaxing for the parents too.”
I love it This is the best park I have ever went to so if you are look for a good park go their you can walk and the path is very smooth to. And the water is clear and there is a lot of seating and there is a water fountain better then Oakland Park by a lot and are park does not even have half the stuff this park has.
The children and I enjoy feeding the turtles and walking and/or riding our bikes on the trail that goes around the pound. It's always clean and people are friendly. I encourage you to buy aquatic turtle food from the pet store instead of feeding the turtles bread.
There isn't much parking. It's in a quiet neighborhood and peaceful. There is a walking trail, play ground and a pond with duck, geese, and turtles. Be aware that I have spotted a snake there before but, I believe the issue was resolved. Overall excellent park!
Great view, great playground with rockwall, and a nice lake with a paved walking path. Just all around well done park. Super small parking lot though. I think there are multiple lots, but the one I used was full and had to park on the grass.
