Tucked away in the heart of Plantation’s Historic District, Plantation Woods is a whimsical, 2.5-acre woodland-themed park where adventure, nature, and art meet. Designed to ignite young imaginations while offering parents a relaxing shaded retreat under a lush canopy of trees, this award-winning destination is one of South Florida’s most beloved community gems.

At the heart of Plantation Woods are three distinct, age-appropriate playgrounds carefully designed to match different stages of childhood play. Children can explore play structures designed like treehouses, climb alongside carved grizzly bear statues, and swing from specialty tree swings. The play areas are nestled under heavy tree shade, keeping little explorers cool even on bright Florida afternoons.
When the sunshine heats up, children can dash over to the park’s zero-depth water splash pad. Featuring cattail sprayers, ground jets sprouting water into the air, and colorful misting arches, it offers a refreshing escape for toddlers and big kids alike.
Beyond the play features, Plantation Woods doubles as an interactive art gallery. As you stroll along the paved pathways, keep an eye out for six intricate mosaic medallions embedded into the walkways—created by artist Kevin Kichar—featuring woodland creatures like tree frogs, butterflies, lizards, and squirrels.
