Exploring Coral Springs
When the Sawgrass Parkway opened, Coral Springs took a leap even farther west to the literal edge of the Everglades, the River of Grass merely one bikeable levee beyond the toll road.

Parks here tend to be small and recreation-based, although there are some nature preserves, three of which are managed by the city.
