Welleby Park

Locals know Welleby Park is one of the better-kept spots in Sunrise — the kind of place where you can actually spread out a blanket without second-guessing it. The play area has a solid climbing structure and multiple slides, plus a water feature that basically becomes mandatory on any South Florida afternoon. What sets it apart is the creative layout — it’s got this mini city vibe that kids genuinely get into, not just your standard equipment dropped in a field. Shade trees and covered seating mean parents aren’t just surviving the visit, and the BBQ area makes it easy to turn a playground trip into a full afternoon by the pond. Walking path, open grass, clean restrooms — it checks a lot of boxes without feeling like it’s trying too hard.
