Quiet
Waters Park: Not as large as Markham, 427 acres,
but another great park in Broward County. This one is in Deerfield
Beach. Quiet Waters also has no gate admission fees Monday through
Friday, and only $1.00 per person on weekends/holidays. Free always
under 5 years of age. Some of their most popular activities include:
swimming, fishing, canoe, water-ski, camp, picnic, enjoy a playground,
5.5 mile mountain bike trail, or play in an awesome water playground
called Splash Adventure.
Canoes and paddleboats are available for rent
and the campsites are already set up and ready for use. Heavy duty
rainproof tents on wooden platforms to be exact. Large enough to
easily fit a couple of queen sized air mattresses. There is water
at each site, but no electricity. $25/site with a 4 person limit.
Restrooms are nearby and do have electrical outlets available for
use (restrictions apply). The fire pits are large and great for
stocking up wood on cool winter nights. Splash Adventure
is a water playground in 18 inches of water that's great
for little kids. There are small slides, tunnels, and other water
toys to make your time there very splashy! Use of Splash Adventure
is $3 per person per two hour session. Admission to this area also
pays for use of the swimming beach, or you can
use the beach alone all day for $3 per person. Quiet Waters is also
the home to the Florida Renaissance Festival every year. Look for
it around February.
