Discover this park
Tradewinds is Broward's do-it-all park. Across roughly 625 acres there is an educational farm with a windmill and pony rides, horse stables, a miniature train, disc golf, fishing lakes and the adjoining Butterfly World. Away from the busy areas it still has a quieter, wilder edge of ponds, woods and open meadows. Come for a full outdoor day, or just find a shady corner and stay a while.

Check current weather and park conditions before starting. South Florida weather changes quickly — no stamp, XP or badge is worth continuing in unsafe conditions.
