Hollywood’s T-Y Park: Features, amenities & more

Topeekeegee-Yugnee Park in Hollywood – or T-Y Park, as it’s commonly known – is popular for a variety of outdoor activities. South Floridians love it because it’s a great spot for walking, running or skating on a shady path around a lake lined with oaks. It’s also a venue for festivals and entertainment (and watercraft rentals are offered on weekends!).

To enjoy T-Y Park, at 3300 N. Park Road, a weekend park entry fee applies. Weekend and holiday fees are $1.50 for guests age 6 and older.
