Confirmed from Roosevelt Gardens 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.
Family-friendly, clean playground in a well-maintained park featuring picnic benches and barbecues.
What runners say about Roosevelt Gardens Park
“The facilities was very clear the kitchen was clean plenty of ice I would recommend this It for maybe having a baby shower or a small event”
“Nice park in west fort lauderdale, they have a nice, shaded playground and a few Pavillions.”
Visited for a gender reveal. The park was clean and not over crowded. The playground was nice for my grandson and the other kids to run around on. The staff inside was helpful when I asked to use the public indoor restroom, which was also clean.
