No Rain At Parkland Play Day At Pine Trails Park

Hundreds of Parkland residents came out to celebrate Parkland’s Play Day this past Saturday at Pine Trails Park.  Rain was in the forecast, but fortunately, we escaped without one drop for the three hour event!

Parkland children enjoyed various games, arts & crafts, bounce houses, and more.  The Florida Panthers also provided the kids with  various giveaways and hockey video games to play.

The booth that the the Parkland Parrot Real Estate Team and Parkside Health & Wellness Center sponsored was the most popular for the kids!  We hired Air Brush Tatoo Artist, Liz Turner, with Painted Phoenix Events to give tattoos to all of the attendees.  Throughout the entire event, we had a long line with eager kids awaiting to be tattooed.

We would like to thank Liz Turner with the Painted Phoenix.  She stayed extra time to make sure that every single child received an airbrush tattoo.  If you are interested in hiring Liz for your party or special event,  we highly recommend her!  Please contact her directly at 561-670-6597 or via email at: bodyart@paintedphoenix.com

We also want to thank all of the Parkland residents for attending this fun-filled event.  We met many new faces, as more and more people are calling Parkland their home! Our team is very involved in the City of Parkland and is also sponsoring the monthly Concerts in the Park and Comedy Showcase Series.  The next Concert In The Park is October 9, 2010, where Don’t Stop Believin-Journey Tribute Band will be performing all of your favorite Journey’s Hits!  Please don’t forget to stop by our booth to say hello and receive our free giveaways.

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.

Parkland Coyote Ugly Continues

We recently posted a story on our site: Coyotes Spotted In The City of Parkland Florida that received a lot of attention.  One concerned reader, Stephanie Lavender, responded to our article how coyotes are “elusive creatures that only kill when hungry and don’t attack unless attacked.”

Lavender is also upset how the media is spreading “unnecessary fear” to the Parkland residents, especially located in Pine Tree Estates and BBB Ranches, which are both located in non-gated acreage communities where the attacks have been recorded.

Obviously, the Parkland Coyote topic is of concern for many residents and the City of Parkland, which is meeting to address this problem, as more and more animal attacks and deaths are being reported.

Below, please click on WSVN7’s video report, Coyotes have [Parkland] animal owners on edge:

We are animal lovers, like Lavender, but want to make sure to keep the Parkland residents and their pets and livestock safe from all predators, including coyotes.  We again ask all Parkland residents located in the acreage communities to make sure to keep pets and children, inside after dark.

One of the great features of living in the City of Parkland is  coexisting with Mother Nature.  But, live stock and pets have been killed by coyotes.  As a result, it is up to Parkland residents to be cautious and on the look out for coyotes until this problem is solved.
