About location

Few places in South Florida have a history as closely tied to planned suburban growth as Parkland. Incorporated in 1963, the city developed in western Broward County on land long shaped by drainage works and agricultural use, beside the eastern edge of the Everglades. Its predominantly residential neighborhoods include canals, lakes and landscaped open space, with schools, parks and local services forming the civic core. The Sawgrass Expressway, part of Florida’s Turnpike system, follows Parkland’s eastern side and links this low-lying suburban area with the wider road network of Broward and Palm Beach counties. Parkland remains distinctly less dense than much of the coastal strip to the east.

City Parkland

Parkland combines quiet, low-density residential neighbourhoods with close proximity to the Everglades in a way that reflects its position on the western side of Broward County. Incorporated in 1963, the city developed as a primarily residential community within the South Florida metropolitan area. Local green space is central to its identity, with facilities such as Pine Trails Park serving everyday recreation. Parkland is also home to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, named for the writer and conservationist associated with protecting the Everglades.

Florida
Region Florida

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
