Bayview Park

Bayview Park is a clean, quiet little spot tucked into the neighborhood. It’s not huge, but it’s well-maintained and has a great local feel. The playground is perfect for younger kids, and there are basketball and tennis courts if you’re looking to get a game in. It’s never too busy, which makes it a nice break from the more crowded parks around Fort Lauderdale. Lots of shade, decent seating areas, and it feels safe and family-friendly.

Lovely little neighborhood park. Great for a basketball game or tennis match. We'll used by adults for exercise and young children for play on playground. Adjacent to baseball fields. Gazebo for shade.

This is a lovely 6.8 acre park in the upscale Bayview neighborhood of Ft. Lauderdale, It is located next to Cardinal Gibbons High School. Located on a spacious corner lot, the park is very open with many access points. There is an ample parking area lining one side of the park. Park amenities include lighted athletic fields, tennis courts, basketball court, open play area, picnic tables, ADA accessible shaded playground with many climbing and play structures, tennis court, and restroom. I walked the exercise path that takes you around the perimeter of the park, Along the way I encountered a lot of nice shade trees and manicured landscaping throughout the park, I saw a couple of other people exercising and a few were having a picnic but the majority of the people were concentrated in the playground area. This is a nicer than average neighborhood park in one of the nicer neighborhoods of Ft. Lauderdale.

These tennis courts are nicely situated in the South corner of the park in e nice neighborhood right next to the basketball court in the Northern part of Fort Lauderdale between Commercial and Oakland Boulevards. Two hard courts in desperate need of repair with lights. I was there during the day time so I'm not sure how good the lights are. I did see lights beside the side of the fence so perhaps they are getting and upgrade. The good news is there is nice spacing between the courts so there for singles or doubles play with room to maneuver and its easier to keep your tennis balls on your own court. The fencing is a bit low at 8 feet so if you high lobs or have a powerful overhead be ready to retrieve your ball. Parking is free and it does get full so plan accordingly as it's a busy park. If you are taking lessons you will have to do it on the down low as it is discouraged but not unprecedented. There is no crime in wanting to improve your tennis game is there? : )
