City Park

"City Park is a 5.5 acre park located on the east side of the city in one of Sunrise's original neighborhoods. It was one of the first parks built in the City of Sunrise. Through the years it had become run down and people stopped using it but in 2021 the park got a make over paid for by a bond referendum approved by voters. The park was redesigned to bring fun, fitness, and entertainment to city residents. Improvements to the park include an expansive 140-yard multipurpose field and amphitheater with a professional audiovisual system and a modern green room that is used for community events, concerts and sports. For fitness enthusiasts there is a quarter mile walking path along the outside of the field with seven outdoor exercise stations that use your own body weight to get you in shape. There is also a new playground with sun shades and splash pad so the kiddies can cool off after play. Two newly resurfaced tennis courts appeal to tennis players. While all of the new amenities are great the star of the park has to be the three fully covered and lighted basketball courts with professional rims and backboards. Every court was being used and enjoyed when I visited the park. With this park Sunrise lives up to its motto of "live, work and play in the city of Sunrise." Money from the bond also paid for improvements to the adjacent Village Multipurpose Center. Another welcome feature that helps visitors to feel safe day or night is security features throughout the park with emergency health stations. Rounding out the park are a pavilion that can be rented, gas barbecue grills, picnic tables, baby changing areas, bottle filling water fountains and mosaic chess boards. There are up to 100 available parking spots and bike lanes which connect the park to other community corridors. It took over a year to complete the renovations but now an underutilized park in the city has become a destination that has rejuvenated recreation in the city."

"We came here for the Halloween 2022 event and it was crazy packed! There's a nice paved path around the park. There's an enclosed basketball court and splash pad. Other amenities include, outdoor exercise equipment, multipurpose field, stage, playground, tennis courts, and more parking. Overall, a nice neighborhood park over on the east side of the city."

"Family friendly area. Plenty space to play. Highly recommended. Clean park. City of sunrise is adamant about bringing the community together"

"City of Sunrise gave this old neighborhood park a new face lift. It has a small water splash park with a secure playground. Of you take a walk around the park you'll find those built in exercise stations around the park. It's clean and fairy new. The picnic table area is shaded with multiple benches. Oh the bathrooms are ac'ed. Talk about luxury."

"I celebrated my daughter's birthday party a couple weeks ago and the kids had a blast despite the rain later that day. The park isn't too big, but great for a small gathering. It's well kept with a playground, splash pad, basketball court and etc."
