What more can you ask Nature's at its best very clean I love it me and my girl walk it all the time and you don't have to be afraid even at night
Not many people. Great place to walk, with or without a dog, or ride a bike. Bathrooms clean. Opens at 6:30AM.
Nice and clean linear park, good for walking. Playground is all the way towards the end of the park, with small parking lot, it is exposed to sun with no covering, has fake grass which creates a lot of static electricity, and constantly shocks kids when going between play stations. The gym station side is covered - go figure. There is also a nice dock to spot some canal life. All in all a nice park for a short stay.
A nice, quiet little park that runs along the west side of the C14 canal/Stranahan River There is a dog park for your furry friends 🐕 with lots of dog owners in the area. It's a clean and relaxing place for joggers, cyclists, and freshwater anglers alike.
1 East Everglades on West Southgate Blvd. in Tamarac Florida, this open area makes great use under the Big Power Lines. Dog Browning approved.
This is a great place for a casual walk. Along the c14 canal with beautiful views. Always clean! Three different parking lots and two of them have access to public restrooms. There's a nice little playground for kids close to one of them. Roped off areas throughout this park to protect the burrowing owls that love to make an appearance and even pose for you. This is also the beginning of the Cypress Trail which runs all the way to the Atlantic. I frequently see bikes on the trail but not so many that it upsets my yorkie while we're walking.
Tephford Park is named after police officer Brian Tephford who was killed in Tamarac in 2006 while conducting a traffic stop. The park that bears his name was dedicated in 2008.
The park is the start of the Cypress Creek Greenway, 16.5 miles of paved paths that lead from the edge of the Everglades in Tamarac down to the ocean in Pompano. The part of the path in the park parallels Southgate Boulevard on one side and C-14 Canal on the other and continues for nearly 3 miles under power lines.
The actual linear park is 1.5 miles with three parking lots that are spaced along the perimeter. This makes it an ideal spot for runners and bikers and I saw a lot of people doing both on my visit. Other park amenities include a playground with children's rock climbing wall, fishing pier, picnic pavilions, benches, and restrooms although they were locked when I checked.
In addition to all of the things that make this park great for humans it is also popular with burrowing owls as well. All along the path were areas roped off for burrowing owls. Although I didn't see any actual owls I saw a lot of signs alerting to their presence.
This park is great for runners, bikers, and walkers, as well as families who are just looking for a place to take the kids to run around. At the park dedication Brian Tephford's widow expressed how grateful she was to have this park as a memorial to her children's father. Although they are probably grown now the park remains to honor a man who lost his life in the line of duty. It's a sacrifice that should never be forgotten.
