Confirmed from Helene Klein Pineland Preserve'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.
Tranquil, 12-acre woodland with a paved walking trail & benches, plus a picnic shelter & gazebo.
What runners say about Helene Klein Pineland Preserve
“It isn't the largest place, however it is kept clean and neatly trimmed.”
“Although the walk is short it is extremely pleasant in the shade of the overhead trees.”
“A nice place to take a walk very peaceful although you can hear traffic I prefer early mornings that’s when the animals are out and as long as you’re quiet and without children.”
A nice short trial with a couple benches and a gazebo in the middle north section. It is good to do a couple laps around for exercise. It is not congested with road noise luckily. Ideal to sit down and read a book at one of the quarter way benches. As for wildlife or photography you are pretty much out of luck.
This is a great little park in the northern part of Coconut Creek. At only 13 acres it is one of Broward County's smallest parks and it is dedicated to Helen Klein, a local environmental activist who died in 2001.
A short trail to escape from concrete jungle and spend some quiet time with nature. Fully paved. Good place to bring people in wheelchair and small kids.
Great little park to walk through during our morning routine. It isn't the largest place, however it is kept clean and neatly trimmed. We have a walk we go to every morning and this park is where we cross through. It isn't a place to picnic or take pictures, but as a nature trail, I love it.
