Confirmed from Owls Lookout 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.
Park for sightings of burrowing owls living around their dens, with jogging trails and workout equipment.
What runners say about Owls Lookout Park
“Small, well kept park with newer workout equipment for everyone.”
“Both are quiet, peaceful, have shaded seating, and the pooches love it.”
“Both are quiet, peaceful, have shaded seating, and the pooches love it.”
This park is the result of Vice Mayor Susan Starkey's work to protect the burrowing owls. In 2010 the Davie Town Council dedicated the open space at SW 26 Street and Flamingo Road for the purpose of preserving and protecting burrowing owls who face a small risk of future extinction.
Park has 2 sections, divided by a road. Both are quiet, peaceful, have shaded seating, and the pooches love it. The owls like to sit out and watch visitors. Entertainment for everyone! lol
First of all, its called Ted Ferrone Park. There are maybe 4 owls here living between 2 owl dens that are protected from people being able to bother them. This park lacks any shade whatsoever but offers a basketball court, playground, beach style volleyball area (with no net), a great workout area, 4 raquetball courts…
Small, well kept park with newer workout equipment for everyone. Nice walking path that allows one to bring their furry friends. Somewhat close to Flamingo Road, so there are lots of cars driving nearby, if you don't mind the noise.
