The fall typically means a few family favorites: pumpkin-spiced everything, the start of the holidays and finally some cooler weather coming through Florida. With the season underway, what better way to enjoy the weather than at your local park?

Throughout Florida, you’ll find plenty of SolarNow installations with solar trees or solar canopies at parks near you. In fact, we have a few new partnerships that we’re excited to share with you.

Here are our top picks to enjoy Mother Nature this fall and winter season, where you and the family can revel in the outdoors and learn about solar energy:

C.B. Smith Park, Pembroke Pines (NEW)

C.B. Smith Park offers a sprawling water park with four 50-foot-tall waterslides and a lazy river, a large campground, AllGolf – a family golfing center, a tennis complex and a large area for special events. Enjoy a picnic, play racquetball, do some fishing or explore the campgrounds, and stop by the solar trees to catch some shade in between all the fun.

Rotary Park, Hollywood

Are you a sports fan? Rotary Park in Hollywood serves primarily as a baseball park, featuring eight fields and five batting cages. There’s also a boat ramp that’s great for launching small watercrafts. Whether you’re walking around the park or taking the kids to the playground, catch some shade under our solar trees.

Charles Hadley Park & Aquatic Complex, Miami

One of the best recreational centers and parks in the City of Miami, Charles Hadley Park features fun for the whole family with an aquatic complex and places to play tennis, basketball, football and baseball. So during the next cold front, make it a sports day with family and friends – and make sure to check out our solar trees!

Tradewinds Park, Coconut Creek (NEW)

Tradewinds Park has a lot to offer visitors, including two solar trees. Visitors can enjoy horseback riding, an educational farm, model steam train rides, shelters, fishing, athletic fields, Equine-Assisted Therapies of South Florida and the locally-famous Butterfly World. Paved paths run throughout the south side of the park, and there are two certified 5K courses along the roadways and pathways.

Oceanfront Park, Boynton Beach

What’s there to expect at Oceanfront Park? There are no surprises here, because it’s exactly as great as it sounds. Enjoy water sports and activities including sport fishing, boating and biking, or just relax under one of our solar trees or canopy with an ocean view.

Roberto Clemente Park, Fort Myers

Are you out on the West Coast? Check out Roberto Clemente Park, where baseball fans will cheer for the two solar trees that have joined the lineup of the park’s amenities. Whether you love sports – or learning about solar energy – the park offers something for everyone.
