Plantation Central Park

Love coming here to play pickleball!! It's beautiful and well kept and there are lots of courts available. Everything is in great condition.
After work it does get pretty busy here and the courts fill up/have a wait. There's probably 20 different courts though so it's pretty big.
They have an ice/water filler machine which is so helpful and fresh as well as water pusher mops for after the rain.
Plenty of parking available and bathrooms not far away from the courts.

This is an update to my original review from 2 years ago. Central Park continues to be a top rated facility for sports. Grounds are kept in excellent condition, and recently they expanded the Pickleball area from 12 to 18 courts. People from around the county come to play here because of the good condition of the courts and also because you can find players for all levels: from beginner to 5.0. Also, this pickleball facility hosts several large tournaments during year, including APP (professional level) competitions, and there are 3 resident coaches available for private lessons.

Central Park is a great place for the whole family.

This is a big park. I gave it 5 stars because they have a wide variery of courts to use. To name what I saw, tennis, pickle ball, basketball, baseball, skate hockey, and I'm sure there's more.
The activity center is wonderful. It's located near the exit of the park, and collocated with the pool.
The activity center has a number of events and flyers from learning to cook to learning to fish. I look forward to participating in many more events.

Loved the pickleball courts! We were vacationing nearby and went over in a Tuesday night at 6pm, but found the courts were packed. It's still a great place so our son played a little bit and then we came back another day at 3pm and it wasn't busy at all.

Another day, another park review just for the pickleball courts.

Plantation Central Park is another Broward park that I would've never came across if it weren't for picking up this sport and the friends that brought me here. This park is honestly huge with a lot of spaces to walk and many different courts and fields for different sports. This has by far the most pickleball courts I've seen so far in Broward, with a total of 17! The newer courts don't seem to have any lighting on in the evening, so if you decide to play late, the courts are a bit more limited.

The first time I came here, they had a pickleball competition and the newest courts just opened. The courts are clean and well kept, and the bathroom aren't too far of a walk with a concession stand and water fountains. Everyone there is super courteous and there are even stands and benches to watch people play.

I come here for pickle ball and it is huge! There's about 16 courts and the competition is great. I love that there's water fountains everywhere. Parking is also great. My only complaint is that there are no rest rooms around the pickleball courts.

Best basketball courts and best league it's a very big park and soccer and baseball and all the sports you can think of

This 77 acre park was opened by the City of Plantation in 1983. The Park got it's name because it is centrally located in the middle of Plantation. Central Park is a huge sports park. Park amenities include a gym, 8 baseball diamonds, 3 football fields, soccer fields, tennis and basketball courts, roller hockey rink, and running track.

Also located in the park is the Frank Veltri Tennis Center. Frank Veltri was elected as Plantation Mayor in 1975. He was the city's longest-serving mayor, completing six terms over 24 years. In 2016 the tennis center hosted the 2016 USTA Orange Bowl. The center has 26 Har-Tru courts which are some of the best surfaces to play on because they have shock absorbing cushioning.You can take lessons at the center and they also have kids camps.

The Plantation Park Aquatic Complex has two Olympic sized pools and a 500 sq foot water playground for toddlers. The Aquatic Complex hosts swim and dive meets but they are also available for open swim, aerobics, and lessons.

Almost every sport can be played here but this park is also a beautiful place to ride a bike, take the kids to play, or have a picnic. This park brings the community together for play and exercise.

I absolutely love this park! It's a huge park that has a lot of amenities, such as,swimming, tennis, racket ball, etc. Hopefully I can use some of the amenities soon. Due to COVID they have blocked off all the trail stops where you would do certain exercises. I love the trail as there are so many ways around the park to get in as much miles as possible. I just did over 4 miles and feeling great! The park is very clean and I also feel safe when I'm there especially early in the mornings when it is dark.

Plantation Central Park is a great place to play Pickleball! There are 12 pristine courts. All you need to do is find a court that seems to be playing at your level and put your paddle in line. Soon you'll be on the court. Very little waiting to play which makes this location much better than Stan Goldman Park (which is very overcrowded). Morning play continued until about noon when I was there in January 2023. I understand that evening hours, after work, are busy (courts are lighted). If you want a free Court to teach a beginner how to play, early afternoon provides plenty of them. Loved that they had free ice and water on hand so you could refill your water bottle.
