Vista View Park

Vista View Park is a 272-acre public park located in Davie, Florida. The park is notable for its unusual topography in the typically flat South Florida landscape, featuring rolling hills that provide panoramic views of the surrounding area. At its highest point, the park reaches approximately 65 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest elevations in Broward County.

The park was developed on the site of a former landfill, which was transformed into a recreational area through environmental remediation efforts. This transformation has turned what was once unusable land into a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and families.

Vista View Park offers a variety of recreational opportunities. The park's paved paths wind through the hills, providing routes for walking, jogging, and cycling. These paths are particularly popular among cyclists looking for a rare opportunity to train on inclines in South Florida. The park's elevation also makes it a favored spot for flying kites and model airplanes.

In addition to its trails, Vista View Park includes several amenities for visitors. There are playgrounds for children, picnic areas with shelters, and open green spaces for various activities. The park also features a fishing pier, allowing visitors to fish in the park's lake.
