South Florida Parks and Recreation
South Florida vacationers will be amazed at the variety of parks available in Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and the other South Florida areas. Hiking, horseback riding, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, bike trails, camping, and picnicking are just a few kinds of recreation offered in South Florida.

Just as every town has a "Veterans Park", they all seem to have a "Rotary Park", and Hollywood in no exception. Rotary Park in Hollywood is primarily a baseball park, with eight fields and five batting cages, but we visited specifically for the boat ramp. The boat ramp didn't seem to be well-used, but the water levels still seemed viable for launching of small crafts. There's lots of parking, though none of it looks trailer-specific, or even long enough for a trailer. Rotary Park also has a clubhouse, a playground, and a nice canal-side boardwalk; however, the non-baseball attraction is minimal, and aside from a possible canoe launch, I won't be back.
