markham park

Didn't know what expect. Was super surprised to find the small airport for RCA with a very active group. Lots of fun for the kids. They also had a boat group. Shooting range for those that like to practice. Over all a very well rounded park. Lots to do for those who have a bike. Great place to camp if you are in the camping mood.

Only dislikes were ... $1.50 entrance fee per person and the codes on the bathrooms to access.Clean park and nice setting to celebrate a family memorial.

They absolutely loved it. Park is immaculate And great to find place that welcomes our little kids that basically never talk back or ask for allowance keep up great work

This large park is a great place to get out and enjoy nature. There is plenty of space to run, walk, bike, fly planes, play ball, picnic, etc. The dog park is divided into two sections - one for large dogs and one for small ones. It can get crowded on weekends and later in the day, so it is better to go early. Dogs can swim in the pond and there is a hose to wash them off.

The landscaping in general is really well-maintained. It's a great place to picnic, play ball, bike, walk or run. It costs $1.50 a person on weekends but is free during the week. The dog park is not as well-kept. You have to pay $25 a year to use the dog park. There are two area, one for dogs under 25 lbs and one for dogs over 25 pounds. It opens at 8:00 but can get crowded after 9:00. It is packed on weekends.

Out along I-595, just before Alligator Alley, is the county park known as Markham. You can picnic, fish, canoe, watch radio controlled planes or cars, ride the bike trails or use the shooting range, both target and skeet/trap. Camping sites are available for both tents and RV's. Park staff is friendly and extremely helpful. Being located on the eastern edge of the Everglades is a great advantage for nature lovers. Entry fee is charged only on weekends. Enjoy!

Of all the parks in South Florida that offer mountain biking or off road biking trails. This is by far the best because of the variety of technical trails. If you want test out that new bike and test your biking abilities this park does that.

Park as mountain bike trail, shooting range, RC plane field, RC car crawl track, camping area, jet ski, bike trail and lot more....

I huge park with countless activities. I am a fisherman and have a few secret spots in the park where i really catch a lot of fish! I drive the park to watch policemen target shoot as well as the public and am really fascinated with the remote airplane experts with their drones all over the place!

Went for a walk park was a perfect place to go. Nice walking path. Also bike trails, picnic areas, tennis courts and a playground area for kids.

We visited markham park in the summer. There were not alot of concrete pads and they dont tell you on there website what ones are. But lots of dirt sites Good rates. Staff was friendly and helpful. Night security guards. No activities near campsites which was a down fall for the kids. You have to drive to the other side of the park. Good for both tent and rv. My issue was fire ants. If they got rid of those little guys it would be better

I love this park on the weekends because it offers so many different types of activity opportunities. You can jog or fly your remote control planes or boats, or simply take your dog to the doggie park. There is an access card you must pay for and obtain through park services for the dog park gate. The park is lovely, and has large parking lots. I took my daughter there to learn how to drive a car. During weekdays, its not busy and there are plenty of empty slots for her to learn to park. There is a gunrange in the very end of the park which is usually not in use and this large empty area allowed me to teach her how to drive in reverse and parallel park. She drove in the park for almost 6 months until she felt comfortable driving our vehicle , she learned how to maneuver her vehicle easily in and out of a parking slots, making left and right turns, not to mention, sunset driving with sun in her eyes as an oncoming vehicle approach in another lane, as well as teaching defensive driving to look out for children playing, bikes, and possible hazards when there is multiple things happening. She had her restricted license but, no prior driving experience and after several months, she was ready to practice in regular traffic. The park helped my family and I with alot of patience, she is a better driver because, we took our time at the park getting familiar with the car as well as developing a sense of defensive alertness. I hope this helps the next mom out there who is about to embark on this same experience. My daughter had taken a defensive driving online course and with our time at the park is now ready for the roads. She is a good driver and keeps her eyes looking forward to avoid risks and drive cautiously safely, she learned to drive at a safe slow speed around children. This park is a great place to learn how to drive. Best of luck future drivers.Oh did I mention, my nerves were alot more in control after she spent all that time driving insie the large park I would of not wanted to learn on the streets as they head out into their driving experience. .

Nice park for picnic and biking. Has a part for dogs...love that place.I heard that camping at this park is fun.Located in the middle of Plantation and Weston.

My husband and I along with our two boys decided to try tent camping over the New Year holiday. Bought all the gear thinking that it would be good weather and would be great; however it decided to rain the first night and it was so humid that the mosquitoes formed a virtual blanket over everything. I guess they can't do much about the mosquitoes, but I didn't appreciate stumbling across red ant hills that seemed to be all over our campsite and among the grass on the side of the road to get to the bathrooms. Speaking of the bathrooms- very poor! No air conditioning so you sweat every minute you are in there. Women's room ran out of toilet paper the first night. Second day when we took showers the women's room was OK, but in the men's room one shower only had cold water and the other was too scalding to use. We opted not to give our three year old a shower for that reason. Got woken up at the crack of dawn by the sound of gunfire from the shootingrange.I suppose if you go in a travel trailer or RV and you have your own bathroom and a couple of bikes to explore the area it probably wouldn't be too bad, but I would never recommend it for tent camping!

Went for a day trip to find some treasures (geocaching) and had a blast! Wish we would have brought our bikes but saw so much to do and will plan better in the future! We walked around areas in the park while geocaching and saw lots of people disk golfing, biking, picnicing, and flying their airplanes and helicopters. The park is huge! They have areas for jet skiing and an outdoor range for shooting. People bring their campers and stay awhile. There's a pool (it was closed over Christmas) and a nice dog park. This is the best state park I've ever seen and it only cost $1.50. Great price! I guess it is free during the week (even better!) We will be back :)
