Confirmed from Waters Edge 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.
Playground and kiddie splash pad featuring slides, swings, benches and basketball courts.

Waters Edge Park is a beautiful and versatile park that has something for everyone! 😍🌳 Alongside the amazing splash pad, you'll find a wide array of amenities to enjoy. Take a leisurely stroll on the walking path, or get active at the exercise station and basketball court.
The park it's very pretty. Playground and splash are gated. The splash is now working but unfortunately their gravity swing still not repair. You can walk along the park and exercise in their adults workout designated area. Follow me on Instagram as @divine.southflorida for more activities like this 🧡
