Hugh
Taylor Birch State Recreation Area
Volleyball, horseshoes, canoe
rentals, nature trails and more await
amid tropical greenery at this 180-acre
park sandwiched between 3.5 miles of
shoreline and the Intracoastal Waterway.
Wishing to protect his subtropical paradise
from development, Hugh Taylor Birch
donated his estate for use as a public
park. It has several distinct biological
communities, a freshwater lagoon system,
and assorted endangered and threatened
animals and plants. A self-guided nature
trail or ranger-led walks are available,
and a scenic park road allows exploration
by bicycle.
Birch’s home is now open as the
Terramar Visitor Center with exhibits
and a short orientation video. Other
amenities include a playground, pavilions,
barbecue grills, shaded picnic areas
and an underground walkway leading from
the parking area to the beach.
3109 East Sunrise Boulevard.
