Seminole Park

"Pretty peaceful park. Like the fact that there are pets allowed at a separate dog park so that you won’t have to worry about stepping in droppings. One thing I will say is that there could be more governance regarding monitoring of the people with dogs, because some People just go into the “restricted” areas where signs are clearly placed stating no dogs allowed. I’m a dog person & I love dogs, but if people specifically choose this park because they may have a pet allergy or etc… it’s inconsiderate to just have dogs roaming everywhere where there is clear signings that state otherwise An overall AMAZING peaceful park. With everything you need"

"Seminole Park is located in the Plantation Isle neighborhood across from Tropical Elementary and Seminole Middle schools. The majority of the park is a large open green space ideal for exercise and play. Park amenities include a half mile jogging path with 20 exercise stations. During my visit many people were exercising on the course and I joined them after I ate the picnic I brought. The park also has a restroom, a playground although part of it was boarded off, two lighted tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, two covered picnic tables which were in the process of getting new roofs, and picnic tables where I ate. Located within the park is the Happy Trails Dog Park. Pop Travers field park with softball fields and concession stands are linked to Seminole Park by a bridge over the canal. My favorite discovery in the park was a nest of burrowing owls near the sand volleyball court. Burrowing owls are considered endangered, threatened or of special concern in nine U.S. states. Unlike other owls, they are not strictly nocturnal and are active during the day. They make their nests in underground burrows, which are dug out by ground squirrels and they prefer open grasslands. A female was sitting outside the burrow and as soon as I approached she called out and the male flew out of the burrow to stand in front protect her. She's got herself a great guy. I didn't want to upset them so I left them to their peace but I did so enjoy seeing them during my little Earth Day celebration. We all have to do our part to keep the earth healthy and protect the vulnerable like these little guys."

"Pleasant park...has two tennis courts, jogging path, two shelters, playground, a small sharing library, and expansive open grassy fields. Good for sunset picnics, kite flying.. Often police patrolled.. Adjacent to the Happy Tails dog park..Has several good sized trees for climbing...kids love it.."

"Tennis courts need help. They need to be pressure cleaned, nets need to be fixed. Also the screens need to be put back in place. We and many others use these courts and need attention now please. Thanks"
