Pedestrians and equestrians enter through the plaza at the east. Designated parking for the park is available behind the shopping plaza buildings.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Southwest Ranches parks, please refer to our <a href=\"\/departments\/parks-recreation-and-open-space\/frequently-asked-questions\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Frequently Asked Questions<u> <\/u><\/a>or contact Town Hall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-gb888-6aaa1c1da5e19-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-gb888-6aaa1c1da5e19-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-888\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/southwestranches.sgssys.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2015-07-09-12.50.22-300x225-1.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"2015-07-09-12.50.22-300&#215;225\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>12498 Griffin Road, Southwest Ranches, FL 33330 Founders&#8217; Trailside Park provides a greenway connecting the County\u2019s C-11 and Flamingo Road trails to the Southwest Ranches comprehensive trail system.\u00a0 Serving as a buffer for residents from commercial activity, this small, passive, 4-acre space features a thriving native wetland, a landmark entrance feature, and a picnic pavilion [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"parent":714,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"department-template.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-888","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-09-23 00:33:33","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/southwestranches.sgssys.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/southwestranches.sgssys.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/southwestranches.sgssys.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southwestranches.sgssys.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southwestranches.sgssys.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=888"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/southwestranches.sgssys.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/888\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12215,"href":"https:\/\/southwestranches.sgssys.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/888\/revisions\/12215"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/southwestranches.sgssys.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/southwestranches.sgssys.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
