Emerald Hills Lakes Park

Emerald Hills in Hollywood, Florida, is a residential neighborhood that developed around a championship golf course established in 1969. Designed by Bruce Devlin and Robert Von Hagge, the course served as a focal point for the community as it hosted major PGA and USGA qualifiers. The community is considered to be one of the premier neighborhoods in west-central Hollywood combining quiet, upscale residential living with close proximity to urban conveniences and major transportation routes. Emerald Hills has several lovely parks including this one. Park amenities include a large dog park, gazebo, open green space, picnic areas, walking path, and a large, modern playground that was installed two years ago. The playground is several stories tall with tube slides and climbing structures. When I stopped by on a Saturday night for a quick walk around the park the playground rang out with the laughter of children having a ball while a number of parents were keeping careful watch. All of the parks in Emerald Hills are filled with families highlighting what a close knit community this is.
