Tree Top Park in Your Ft Lauderdale Car Rental!

If you find yourself in the Fort Lauderdale area with some free time on your hands, we know how you can fill it. You can check out the Tree Tops Park.

This park is home to over 240 acres of land and a restored freshwater marsh. Tree Tops Park, located in Davie, Florida, offers activities for everyone, so it is the perfect place to spend a day with your family.

The 243.3 acres of this park range from 23 acres of restored freshwater marsh accessible by a 1,000-foot boardwalk to the 102.2-acre Pine Island Ridge, an archaeological site that includes equestrian and nature trails and, at 29 feet above sea level, is the highest natural elevation in Broward County.

You can reach Tree Tops Park in your car rental Fort Lauderdale. Three different playgrounds will most likely be a favorite of your kids. Travel up, up, up until you reach the top of their observation tower. The observation tower is actually how the park got its name as it was recommended years ago for a tower to be built in the tree tops.

Tree Tops Park has a variety of picnic tables, shelters, and grills scattered throughout the park if you are looking for a great place to enjoy your lunch. The grills are perfect for a pack of hamburgers and hotdogs that always taste best cooked outside!

Don’t miss out on the Tree Tops Park’s butterfly garden. Watch a large variety of butterflies flitter around from their different plants. If you’re lucky, maybe one will even land on you. Another fun afternoon activity can be hiking around the many different nature trails throughout the park. Cruising in your Fort Lauderdale car rental, you can appreciate all of the other fun attractions Tree Tops has to offer. The park also has volleyball areas, fishing, gopher tortoise preserve, horse and pony rides, a marina that offers boat and sports equipment rentals and a snack bar.

Do you like to spend time out on the water? Boat rentals are offered from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sunday, and holidays. Boat rentals are quite reasonable at $7 per hour and $13 for four hours. Types of boats they have are canoes and paddleboats. Life jackets will also be provided for your safety and convenience.

For those of you interested in horseback riding, Tree Tops has that too! Horses can be rented on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Rides are $35 for an hour or $25 for a half hour. For your kiddies, pony rides are $1.50 per ride (once around the circle) or $5.00 for a longer ride (four times around the circle).

Walk across the 1,000 foot boardwalk and you will arrive in Pine Island Ridge. With over 100 acres and an archaeological site with equestrian and nature trails, you shouldn’t miss Pine Island Ridge.

Winter brings waterfowl (including teal, mottled ducks, and American coots) to open water areas of the marsh. Butterflies are abundant throughout the park. Common moorhens and pied-billed grebes nest in the marsh. Look for great egrets, great blue herons, little blue herons, green herons, and anhingas throughout much of the year.
