Thank you to my friendsat Yacht Haven for inviting me along in transporting a boat set to sail... Exquisite and majestic yachts under dark clouds and unseasonal colder winds foreshadowing torrential downpour make for an excellent adventure.

One the most beautiful parks in Downtown Fort Lauderdale

Review №14

Dog friendly scenic area for when youre around Riverfront or maybe even the Museum. They often hold events but parking should be relatively easy. My recommendation for that would be to park past the railroad heading east and walk back to the event. For 8 bucks you get unlimited parking.

Great place to walk the dog before/after dinner. Lots of nearby restaurants. A beautiful walk along New River. Hop on the water trolly and water taxi. Just all around nice place to stroll. A stage for entertainment from time to time.

If you like wine, or want to know more about wine, this is the place to go. The owner, Richard, is a respected sommelier, literally known around the world at the finest vineyards. Unexpectedly, hes a friendly outgoing guy who is ready for your questions, experienced wine consumer or newbie. Whats more, his prices are consistently 10 - 15% or more than competitors. The best wine experience is to be had here. I was introduced to Richard about 5 years ago when I lived an hour away. Its always worth the trip to go to the wine tasting evenings, 6 days a week.

I love this park. This park is so beautiful. In fact it’s my favorite place in Fort Lauderdale. Nice place to stroll on a Sunday afternoon or sit on a bench and watch the boats go by. If you like music they have Sunday Jazz Brunch held on the first Sunday of each month. The scenery is so beautiful and your pictures just come out great especially at sunset.

They hold little events here all through the year with themes like Chili cookoff, crawfish, jazz $ brunch, BBQ & burbon etc. really cool to walk around and enjoy some live music, good food and drinks during a nice day. This area will continue to improve and become more popular as riverwalk is redeveloped.

I always make a stop here when I am in town. The warm, welcoming greeting sets the tone for a relaxing experience. I am never dissatisfied with how my nails and toes look and feel. I leave feeling pampered and rejuvenated without feeling like I have been taken advantage of by the cost. I have tried many, but this is where I make return visits.

Sunday jazz fest at Esplanade Park--first Sunday of the month. dont miss it! Great fun! Three stages, Im told, (but we only found two of them). A great solo sax player was in the gazebo location. Many vendors booths selling all sorts of tourist stuff--jewelry, beachwear, trinkets and crafts. Fun to peruse while listening to musical treats for the ears. Food and drink booths are everywhere, too. Its just a great time. To add to the fun, dogs are welcome on leashes. MANY folks take advantage of that, which adds a lot of cuteness and conversation to the whole experience. Will go again and again, Im sure.

Amazing location on the river. Its a spiritual place in the heart of the city. Its close to all the action yet tranquil and peaceful enough to meditate and revitalize ones energies. You can park close by and take the water taxi to see the area from the water. Its also right across from the Museum of Science andDiscovery. You can get something to eat, then take a stroll along the river and take in all the activity on the water.

Very nice park on the Riverwalk, next To Imax theatre & Broward Centre fir the Arts. Multi-levels parking ($) and restaurants nearby, nice views on the Nu River. On Sunday mornings in the winter you can attend the free Jazz brunch. Bring your chairs, puppies and lunch and listen to great jazz bands. Food trucks and venders are there too!

Great place to enjoy a park. You can take the kids and dogs. Watch the yachts on the river and relax. Jazz brunch on the first Sunday of the month is a great way to enjoy good Music with family and friends. Parking can be expensive so that is the downfall.

Very peaceful and safe area. Close to Ocean bay with dreamy views of downtown Performing Arts center and the IMAX theater. Easy walking trails and plenty of space for children to play. Big clean restrooms. Parking isnt roadside. You will have to use the public parking garage and pay by the hour or per day. Others tourist attractions are nearby.

Lovely view of the new river with the performing arts center, restaurants, water taxi, and museum within walking distance.Be prepared to close your ears from time to time due to the many passing trains.If youre history buff, stop by the archive center and get a guided history tour of the citys history. Just north of the gazebo is a place to rent segways, kayaks and even do downtown tours on pedal bars.

This is a pretty park with great views of the water. Its situated on Himmarshee, across from The Museum of Science & Discovery and just east of The Broward Center for Performing Arts. Its a nice space and there are many lovely restaurants and bars nearby as its just on the outskirts of the Las Olas Riverfront and downtown Fort Lauderdale.
