We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Royal Palm Park (North entrance) yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Royal Palm Park (North entrance)
“Always clean park, GREAT for 🏀 basketball, walking, jogging, picnics, slow RC boats, handball/racquet ball, and sorry for what I've missed.”
“Beautiful local park with walking/running trail and lots of birdlife!”
Beautiful, well kept park off NW 38th st. In Oakland Park (no dogs allowed). I go here often for some quiet think time. My favorite times of day here are sunrise, sunset, after 2am. It's right up the street from my house so I often walk there, sometimes at odd hours to regroup mentally.
Very nice place for a walk, lots of birds, we got to see three different kinds of chicks, iguana's, and various other critters. Plenty of free parking
I visited this park for the first time with my church group last week. The weather was incredibly breezy and beautiful. There was no humidity, which made walking around the lake and through the vegetation an absolute delight. The pavilion we used was clean and ready for use. It was truly a memorable experience.
Always clean park, GREAT for 🏀 basketball, walking, jogging, picnics, slow RC boats, handball/racquet ball, and sorry for what I've missed. North side has a small parking area, the OTHER side, south Main entrace (by Easterline) there is sufficient parking. Kind of a hidden gem, so much to do.
