New Parkland Florida Dog Park Coming Soon

Calling All Parkland Dog Owners! 4 Months Until New Dog Park Is Built At Liberty Park

The City of Parkland Commission recently approved the construction of a new dog park next to Liberty Park on Ranch Road. The construction of the new dog park will be done by JMW Construction Corporation (JWM).  JWM has previously done construction for the City of Lauderhill, City of Delray Beach, Palm Beach County School Board, and the City of Dania Beach.

The project is expected to be completed in the next 120 days.  Tax dollars will not be used to construct the park.  Instead, Parkland Golf & Country Club builder, Toll Brothers, has donated the funds for the dog park to be built in the city.  The city already has multiple parks and recreation for the entire public to enjoy.  This new dog park will be an added bonus to the many dog lovers in Parkland that would like to bring their pets to a park.  Now, all dog owners will have the opportunity to enjoy their pets at the new Dog Park at Liberty Park soon.

City of Parkland Awarded Top Honor For Kids Fitness

Another great reason to live in Parkland is the fantastic parks and recreational activities residents and their families can enjoy!  Today, many children do not get enough physical activity which has caused a growing number of child obesity in the United States.

Fortunately, the City of Parkland has taken giant leaps to combat this growing problem in our local area.  As a result, Let’s Go Play! Non-Profit Organization KaBOOM has names Parkland as one of only 118 “Playful City USA” Communities for the third straight year.  According to KaBOOM and a study conducted by Harris Interactive, 82% of parents believe children do not receive enough exercise.  Also, the National Survey of Children’s Health reports that 1/3 of all U.S. children are overweight or obese.  This shocking survey and statistic should cause parents to immediately take action and get their children involved in outdoor fitness activities.

Unfortunately, many parents have forgotten how important it is for children to play outside and stay fit.  Playing outside and getting involved with recreational activities also helps provide the youth with social skills needed to succeed in the future.  Also, providing children with more time to play will allow them to become healthier and happier and perform better in school.

Below, please find all of the Parkland Parks & Recreational Centers:

• Equestrian Center at Temple Park
• Covered Bridge Park
• Doris Davis Forman Preserve
• Pine Trails Park
• Terramar Park
• Liberty Park
• John Quigley Park
• YMCA Family Center At Pine Trails Park

As we start a new school year, we urge Parkland parents to encourage their children to participate in outdoor recreational activities in their schools and city.

Finally A Resolution For Parkland Coyotes?

City of Parkland Hires Trapper To Catch Coyotes

The City of Parkland announced yesterday that the city has hired a trapper in order to finally catch the coyotes that are killing live stock and pets in non-gated Parkland neighborhoods: Cypress Head, BBB Rances, and Pine Tree Estates.

The trapper will identify the location of the coyotes and set traps that will be checked on a daily basis.  The trapper will begin setting traps on Monday and continue for a two-week period.  Hopefully, now that a professional trapper has been hired, the coyote problem will be rectified!  But, the city still recommends that all Parkland residents in the above mentioned communities be vigilant and avoid items that will attract the coyotes to their properties.  Hopefully, the trapper will be able to relocate the coyotes away from residential communities soon.
