Confirmed from Middle River Terrace 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.
Relaxed site featuring a playground, a barbecue pavilion and a soccer field, plus a historic home.
What runners say about Middle River Terrace Park
“Free parking, clean place.”
Went here for the first time today. The equipment look nice and newer. seem like it wasn't for the smallest kids but geared towards older. But there was a nice walking path and a few Shady spots with benches. My son had fun here just wish there were fences by the street
Local neighborhood park. We've been doing takeout food picnics instead of dining in our driving all the way home - and this park is convenient for most restaurants in Wilton Manors. There is a small playground, a nice waking path and there are picnic tables scattered around the park, as well as several under a shelter.
This park has really come a long way over the years. It has gone from an eyesore to a focal point in the Middle River Terrace. It has something for everyone including a play area for kids, a fitness trail, a covered picnic/BBQ pavillion, a soccer field and as a crown jewel the Historic Annie Beck house.
Has the best shade & breeze your gonna get in south Florida hot weather lol I'm there for the calisthenics equipment...able to get a quick workout during lunch 20mins of back,chest, shoulders and abs .
