Enchanted Forest Elaine Gordon Park

"Small park, clean premises, great for sight seeing Florida local wildlife and taking a brisk walk through nature. They have a side with a kids playground and another side with horses, chickens, bunnies and goats. Plenty of seating and paved walkways. Free entrance and parking but can get crowded quick."

"Could be cleaner and better maintained, but not bad. Decent nature trail for being in the city."

"I liked the most eastern part where it has a special round trail. On this rout you can grab a basket and collect harmful bulbs helping the local ecosystem and learning something interesting about the nature. The kid also liked to help the trees."

"As a seasoned reviewer and frequent visitor to outdoor spaces, I must say Enchanted Forest Elaine Gordon Park stands out as a gem in the urban landscape. This lush park is not just a playground for kids but a sanctuary for nature lovers. It offers a variety of experiences from large play areas that keep the children engaged, to serene nature walks adorned with butterflies that captivate any nature enthusiast. My personal experience, bolstered by my kids attending nature school and attending numerous children’s parties here, has been consistently delightful. The park, despite its proximity to a bustling street, transforms into a hidden oasis. It’s a place where the hurried pace of city life fades into the background, allowing you and your loved ones to be immersed in its tranquil beauty. The diligence of the staff in maintaining the park’s cleanliness and safety is commendable. Their hard work ensures the park remains a pristine environment for all visitors. The ambience here is akin to a jungle oasis - a place where you can pause, breathe, and appreciate the splendor of nature. While I can’t compare it directly to other parks, as each has its unique charm, Enchanted Forest Elaine Gordon Park undoubtedly holds a special place for its ability to blend playfulness with natural serenity. I am hesitant to suggest improvements, as the park meets all expectations for a family-friendly, nature-centric escape. I do wish it would open earlier and stay open later, otherwise I have no feedback. Therefore, it earns a well-deserved five stars from me. For anyone looking for a peaceful retreat within the city (it’s very close to Aventura Mall) or a fun, safe place for kids to play and learn about nature, this park is a must-visit. It’s a testament to how urban spaces can harmoniously coexist with natural beauty."
