Colohatchee Park was a lovely park back before it became an animal park. My family would picnic there...walk along the boardwalks and we would watch our children on the songs and other fun things there. An occasional train going by was a great treat. In fact we hired a gentleman who was a Park Ranger named Anthony yo film our wedding...but they took the kid stuff out...and cater to dogs... It WAS a good park.

Loved this Park. Looks like nothing from side of road really but still intriguing. When I entered you walk down this wooden bridge for a decent walk with this lake and trees as far as u can see. I will admit I did get a little spooked at first being a girl on my own however I made it down the bridge and got to a awesome dog park. It has a grill and covered seating with a playground and a dog park behind it. People were so pleasant and dogs just adorable! Will definitely being my dog!

Used to love this park. Its a few block away from my house over the bridge. It was buried in the woods. It had tons of open space, a dog park, a childrens playground, pavilion with picnic tables, a volleyball court and a basketball court. Total Scrape. Now it looks like a prison yard filled with chain link fences and key FOB access points. All above mentioned is gone except for the dog park which is private now. They added some exercise equipment and a sidewalk or jogging path around the prison yard fences. Definitely not family friendly anymore. I sit on the Parks and Rec Advisory Board for the City of Fort Lauderdale and Colohatchee Park is the example I use for what we DO NOT want to do to our parks. I only wish I had pictures to show the stark difference of then and now.

Very well kept and a nice trail with scenery to take cute pictures! The only issue I have is that many people do not adhere to the weight limits. There were a number of small dogs on the big dog side and small dogs intimidate my dog and cause her to get defensive and uncomfortable. But that is more of a critique towards other people rather than the park itself.

Very pretty little park. The dog areas are well kept and it has a nice small boardwalk. The gym area was a nice surprise as well!

Great place for your doggie. Weve made friends there as well. Get a fob from the town hall in Wilton Manors for entry..$55.00 fee, bring proof of rabies.

It has a nice lake and very clean.

I like this park even though I dont have a dog. But wearing a mask outside is ridiculous.

Very short boardwalk. Lots of spiders lol they have a dog park in the back which trains go by and might scare your dog because your super close. I love across the street, lots of lagunas and ducks. Also bathroom access across the street from boardwalk.

Me and my family had a nice day but as soon as the sun went down a bit the mosquitoes claimed the park to themselves. I don’t know if anyone can do anything about it but I wouldn’t go back in the afternoon.

Well, its a lovely place for open minded environmentalists. Please stay on the paths and DO NOT DISTURB the wild life.At times the city has installed survalence equipment. Be aware! ;-)

A nice quiet walk. Beyond a small but well maintained parking lot, there is a short but enjoyable walk on a boardwalk above the mangroves. At the end, you come to a dog park. You must sign up and get a pass from Wilton Manors to enter the park which has nice separate fenced areas for large and small dogs to be off leash. There are restrooms here as well as water and also some public work out equipment.

The trails are not that long simple.

Nice for a walk.

It is a wonderful place to rest

The new layout of the dog yard is nice. There is a new workout station located in the corner near the new apartment buildings and a new paved walkway which encircles the dog yard and picnic pavilion which has a new stamped concrete floor made to look like big stones. The boardwalk leading to the dog yard still needs a way to clean up after the dogs whose parents dont clean up after them...

Great place for your puppy. I go there to charge my segway. People are friendly.

It was Great - Well Designed and New..my dog thoroughly enjoyed being there with the other dogs and socializing with their owners worked for Me...

The park is closed most of the time. There is a boat ramp and very small Park across the street.

Beautiful park. Love the trail over the water through the trees that area growing in the water. What a unique park. A part of nature I didnt know existed in the Wilton Manors Area. And to top it off, at the end of the trail, there was a park with an exercise area, dog park area, plenty of covered shelters, and trees I were able to set up my hammock on to relax in the shade and enjoy the fresh air.

Free, easy access, we had a great time!!!

Great dogs park

Great place for a walk & great dog park, Good parking...

Small park has a boat ramp nice place to put in a kayak

Peaceful Park in the middle of a mangrove swamp. Dog park is also great.

Very nice - clean - dog park not free - must purchase fob to open gate to dog park. But you can walk thru the general park with your dog on leash. Parking free. RestroomsPeaceful and scenic.

Great views and nice people

Nice place to sit and have lunch.

I love this place.i grew up in that park.love the scenery,the walk.and the lonely time I like to enjoy alone..

Drive by it everyday before work and sometimes after beautiful park not overly large but well put together

Doggy Park heaven

It doesn’t matter if it’s $3, or $300, charging your residents an “entrance fee” for their dogs, to a park funded by TAX money is completely WRONG! Mayor Flippen and all of the other commissioners who let this happen, shame on you! I’m still waiting on a response from the mayor of Wilton Manors Justin Flippen regarding any programs in place for those dog owners who cannot afford the $30 annual fee. This park’s renovations allegedly cost 1.8 million dollars including a newly paved and lit parking lot of

Neat, clean and friendly dog park...

Great experience just wish the full trail had access

Beautiful place to relax

Pay to use a Dog Park that is closed more than open.

Yes I lived there years ago... Great place with great people... Helped over 10 water toys in boat ramp.. spotted manatee... And people finally did see it.. great for families.. safe place.. ramp very very slippery.. do be careful.

DOG PARK COSTS MONEY!!!!!!! Who has very heard of a dog park that charges money....I live in the metropolitan.... and when they were rebuilding it.. they were coming through the complex every day destroying everything.. dirty up the parking lots and bringing their heavy machines through.. and now they are charging me to use it? NOPE.. plenty of other better parks around ... GO TO HOLIDAY PARK in FTL

Very well maintained dog park. Excellent value for the $60/pup yearly fee.

Cool Park , imagine Florida is #48 in Education and #1 in New AIDS cases because Entrapment is legal and funded here. Backwards reasoning rules corrupt Florida with immoral Entrapment laws☆ keeping our citizens under Educated with a horrible #healthcare system where it takes 3 weeks to get a knee operation ☆

Its a nice place. There is a small park place for the children to play, and there is like 8 benches with one of those beach type grills, and there is a little nature walk to get to it so its nice. I would recommend going for a huge group of people if you want a party or something. There is also bathrooms and a water fountain.

Nice park, but not enough parking spots for cars here. Bathrooms also locked on the weekend. I dont understand.

Good spot to take local wildlife photography.

This is a nice place to relax and do a little fishing. People that come here should pickup after themselves. Keep it clean. We picked up after them. To bad for people like that.

Too small for my opionion but big enough

The remodel is awesome! Very well done.

Seriously $30 for a permit for a tiny dog park. Bark park on 38th is 3x the size and FREE. Plus the people are nicer they don’t act superior bc they paid a $30 permit fee. Save your money. Avoid this dump and go to bark park. Oh and bark park has doggie pools to help the dogs not overheat. Colohatchee doesn’t care enough to give you a pool. $30 for a small no pool park or free large park with lots of shade and pools?

THE PARK IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR RENOVATION UNTIL MARCH 2019!!THEY ARE ADDING IN A WORK OUT AREA AND EXPANDING THE DOG PARK FOR YOUR FOUR LEGGED FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!THIS PARK IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR RENOVATION UNTIL MARCH 2019!!️️️

Beautiful trail to walk and explore , too bad the park in the back that used to be awesome for parties and get together now it looks ugly with the fence and the little playground is at the end not close to the tables or bathroom I believe if you have dogs this is a places for you otherwise dont try .

Park is closed for renovations from September 2018 until sometime in early in 2019. Im writing this review because nowhere on here does it tell you that. You have to drive over there in order to find out for yourself by meeting a locked gate with only a banner stating sometime early 2019...

It used to be nice to take my dog out for a run, however it is not taken care of. There is a lot of men hanging around without dogs and trying to appear anonymous with their phones. It is just too creepy and uncomfortable for those of us just wanting peace to use the park as it was intended. Sorry, my dog and I will not return.

Visited today, after the recent reopening of the “improved” Colohatchee Park. I was so disappointed and sad that my beloved park is ruined. What was once a natural, beautiful environment is now a sterile set of cages. Whomever “designed” these “improvements” must not be a landscape designer, did not do their research and must not have a dog- The water fountain is outside of the dog area gates- the small shade features are useless, the benches have been removed, the 3 areas feel like cages in the center of the park, the Bermuda grass they used will be ruined in two weeks- that is if people sill come. I doubt it.Also the children’s play area is removed. There is not one bench along the outer walkway (which really does not belong in this park) what about our older residents who may need to rest while exercising in the heat? The cages but up against the pavilion-so now it’s useless. ——What a waste of money and a once beautiful park. My dogs and I will miss our old park.

Great place to take a shower if homeless

Clean park nice people

No pets allowed... Was disappointed

I was very disappointed the park used to be open very little fencing now they have fencing 8 feet tall taking up 90% of the picnic area and Park for the dogs. Now I have a dog but it just looks terrible and charging the residents of Wilton Manors $15 to play with their dog there is obscene after all the taxes they pay already when is it ever going to be enough for these politicians.

Water Ways Clean-day is always a fun affair.

The entry was cool crossing the bridge then it was just an open field a few benches and the restrooms bolted shut. But safe and quiet

This is a cute little park off NE 15th Ave with a boardwalk over a small mangrove wetland and a field offering offering a basketball court, covered Pavillion, restrooms, small playground, and two enclosed off leash play areas for dogs, as well as a boat launch across the street. It looks like some of the bigger trees were blown over during the hurricane in 2017, otherwise the park is in great shape. Parking is limited to about 20 cars.

Nice clean park with free boat ramp.

Great park, can’t wait for the re-opening after repairs!

You do not have to pay to use the dog park. The park was very well kept. There were plenty of benches and picnic tables. There is an open area without a fence and then there is also a fenced in area for off leash play. Finally another nice thing I liked was that human restrooms were available.

Love the renovations that were done at the park!!

Beautifull Giant Dog park !! Well done City of Wilton Manors !!

Nice dog park but unfortunately its closed 2 days a week for maintenance. What takes 2 days? Other parks either take a few hours in the AM or Tuesdays for maintenance. Ill continue going to the other parks in Wilton and Oakland Pk. which are just as clean and are open and free every day.

Nice little place... Great dog park or bring a bocce ball set and play for a while.

Nice new dog run.

The most popular and frequently used bathrooms in the world. Nothing wholesome about this place!

Calm waters, decent boat launch, free parking, restrooms

I took my puppy to play it was really nice the size of the park is good, the bridge is really nice for pics or just to spend some time it feels good out there

Wilton Manors has made great strides to clean up the park. There doesnt seem to be as much skeezy stuff going on. Still some questionable people and activity going on that makes me feel uncomfortable.

Excellent place to do Kayaking

Needs work on fences but over nice fun park for dogs. Peoples bathroom is great to have !

I like this place but sometimes the people are kinda funny

Nice quiet lil park in the city also dog friendly.

It is definitely a Florida Park very open few trees and few shade but good for my dog to run around theyve got locked gate so that they dont get out I would call it a mangrove still worth a visit

The park is a nice place to take your dog it has some space but they need to work on the fences overall it is a good park 4/5

Very angry. Cannot use dog park. Must buy a key fob. No shade. They ruined the whole experience

Nice place to bring the dog to

The dog park is impossible to find. Very under maintained and the small side is way to small.

Very pretty nature walk .. Big dog run too

Nice park with native vegetation, good place to bring your dog if friendly with other dogs.

Beautiful place. Love the mangroves left in tact in a urban setting.

Excellent interesting love it

Any word on a specific date when the park will reopen? Thanks!

Quiet and clean. Needs a re-paving though

Great dog park and inlet across street.

My doggy just loves this dog park.

The best dog park around!

Wonderful short walking pier on the water. Dog and kids park at the end.

The Place is clean!! We went there by 1:30pm not too many dogs.

Whenever I am there it is always clean and the scenery is wonderful

A cute boardwalk park that spans over the water inlet.

Just a small public boat launch

Great boardwalk and dog park. There are a couple rare birds that can only be found in Colohatchee Park

Took cooper to dog park great facility and bridge is great for pics

A nice place to put your boat in, crab or fish, play Pokémon or just chat with friends.

Nice boardwalk that leads to a nice park with fenced off dog park, playground for kids, and restrooms.

Love the place beautiful and nice Birds lizards everybody

And used to have more trails and they put a dog park in you have to register and belong and you cant bring anything to eat or drink you cant have any treats I mean what good is going to the park if you cant have something to eat and drink and bring treats for your dog and the best part is you get to pay for this oh and I forgot if youre a smoker youre not allowed to smoke there
