A comprehensive site analysis was completed and alternative development program scenarios investigated, A consensus on the proposed future development and use of the park has developed to help guide the elected officials responsible for the ultimate shape and function of Everglades Holiday Park. Project Description: The approximately 300-acre site constitutes Broward Count's only Gateway to the Everglades. The park has become of critical importance with the near total build out of the South East Florida Tri-County Megaloposis. It has become the only place in the County where the cultural and environmental story of the Everglades can effectively be told. A major trailhead for Broward County's Greenways and Trails plan is proposed for the site with funding from the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan's (CERP's) Recreational Master Plan, Over 350,000 cruise ship passengers a year are bused to the site for an Everglades airboat experience. Students are bused to the site to participate in a dramatic environmental educational experience. Hundreds of bass fishing attend bass fishing events at Everglades Holiday Park. The facility has become a little run down with all the use and some environmental damage has been sustained, The CERP plan may have some impact on the fishing access, Some users are concerned that new users, hikers, bikers, and horse riders may not accept the past recreation sport activities.
