Shirley Branca Park reviews
3Nice little pit stop for me and my dog really clean park has benches, and well shaded
The settings were great. Very nice and clean. Ample space for parking, easy access.
Located near Annabelle Perry Elementary School and Henry D. Perry Middle School, this park was once a former 2 acre garbage dump. Shirley Branca, the wife of Miramar Mayor Frank Branca worked to transform the site into a place the kids from the school and the people in the community could come to and enjoy by beautifying the area and turning it into a park. Walking paths, a small amphitheater and plants native to South Florida were added. The park was named in Shirley's honor after she passed away in September of 1986 at the age of 51 from a rare form of cancer.
Today Shirley Branca Park still serves as an anchor tor east Miramar. Park amenities include the walking trail with small hills, a splash pad, picnic pavilions, picnic tables, amphitheater, open space for play, and restrooms. They even had an EV charging station. On the day I visited a lot of people were exercising on the walking trail. Different community events are held at the park like the Pop N' Shop at Branca held every 3rd Saturday from 11 AM until 3 PM. This is a very nice park for exercise, attending an event, or enjoying a picnic.
