Whether it’s feeling the sun on your face, learning how things grow or enjoying the awe-inspiring beauty of a day in South Florida’s winter wonderland, nature’s innovation sustains us from the inside out. Spending time outdoors and connecting with nature—It Starts in Parks.

On the golf course:
“I like this game, because I’m going to be outdoors for four or five hours. I’m going to get to enjoy this beautiful day. I can have lots of problems, but as soon as I come here, I forget about everything.” –R. Calvo

On the nature boardwalk:
“It’s much better walking outdoors than on a treadmill. Such a nice view here. And it’s always changing—the birds flying, the alligators. It’s healthy breathing the fresh air out here, too.” –R. Weiss and J. Goldstein

We're certifiable... when it comes to our golf courses!
“To see all the birds here—how they act. Those little meadowlarks and their bright yellow breasts. They make that wonderful sound. The osprey. The hawks over on the east side of the course. There’s all kinds of stuff out here—if you take the time to look.” –J. Hull, Park Ridge Golf Course

We hear you. And we’re working behind the scenes to continue enhancing your experience at County-operated golf courses even more by participating in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program. Birdhouses, butterfly gardens, and natural areas have been added to each golf facility to attract and preserve local wildlife.
