Resting in the middle of the Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach
Counties, the 
stunning seaside city of Coconut Creek is a well-planned
community of conscientious residents and businesses alike. Coconut Creek
is home to a population of just under 50,000 people within its city
limits, though within the South Florida Metropolitan Area where Coconut
Creek resides that number grows to close to 5.4 million people. Even
though the population size of this area is on the rise, that does not
mean the Coconut Creek and its surrounding areas fall victim to
overcrowding and urban sprawl. Coconut Creek is widely regarded as a
city with a “unique environmental consciousness,” boasting a plethora of
trees, waterways, attractive landscaped roads, beautiful parks, and
butterfly gardens throughout the many neighborhoods that comprise the
community. Coconut Creek is also known as the Butterfly Capital of the
World as the city is home to the world’s largest butterfly aviary. Butterfly World, the name of this world renowned destination, is home to over 80 species and 5,000 individual butterflies.
The relaxation and comfort of their citizens and guests are among the highest priorities for the City of Coconut Creek. In Coconut Creek itself, there are a number of different outdoor escapes available to enjoy. The Coconut Creek Parks and Recreation Department consists of some of the most dedicated and caring individuals to be found in this region. The department operates 20 city parks/playgrounds and offers 227 acres of active and passive parks. The City of Coconut Creek operates and maintains an extensive and active park system, one that they are most proud of and welcome all those within Coconut Creek to use as their own.
