Hayrides & outdoor family fun at Broward parks

Broward County parks are offering family evening events with hayrides.

The fun includes hayrides and roasting S'mores around a fire at parks in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Deerfield Beach and Oakland Park.

The price is $4 for ages 3 and older, with pre-registration and pre-payment required. You can reserve online for Quiet Waters & T.Y. Park. For other parks, you will need to make reservations and pay at the park office.

The hayrides are on Fridays (unless otherwise noted), from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Entry into parks is usually free on weekdays, including Friday nights. On weekends and holidays, park entry fees are $1.50 per person for ages 6 and older.
