Washington Park

Washington Park is best known within Fort Lauderdale for being a long-established residential neighborhood with African American roots. It lies on South Florida’s low, urban coastal plain, west of the city centre and inland from the Atlantic shoreline. The New River runs through central Fort Lauderdale and helped shape the settlement that grew into today’s city. Downtown’s historic Stranahan House, built in 1901 as a trading post and home, recalls that early riverfront history. Washington Park offers a useful perspective on the residential communities beyond Fort Lauderdale’s beach and high-rise districts.
