ArtsPark at Young Circle — Attraction in Hollywood

ArtsPark at Young Circle got a facelift a few years ago and the playground area is quite the transformation! Now we really enjoy coming to this park. I love that they added canopy shades over the main play area. The splash pad and big slide do not have shaded areas.

The park sits in Young Circle and located next to the Hollywood Hot Glass and ArtsPark Amphitheater. Romero Britto's Butterfly sculpture is located by the ArtsPark in Young Circle sign. We’ve been to the Hollywood Hot Glass and that’s a super cool experience in itself. Did the class with the kids. Very unique.

“The ArtsPark at Young Circle is located in a 10-acre circle named after the City's founder, Joseph Wesley Young at US 1 and Hollywood Boulevard in downtown Hollywood. Dedicated in March 2007, the ArtsPark offers residents and visitors a wide array of visual and performing arts themed educational, recreational, and entertainment activities.”

f you have not been swung around the circle then you have not properly visited Hollywood Fl. The city of Hollywood was designed by founder Joseph Young. Unique to his design was the incorporation of three large circles of land located along the main boulevard. These circles became the sites of a ten-acre park which was originally named Harding Circle and later renamed Young Circle, a circle for the city hall complex, and the third circle for a military academy. If you have ever driven around the Artspark at Young Circle it is like a roundabout but on steroids. People race around it at high speeds while others frantically try to find the exit off. It's quite an experience if you miss your exit you will be swinging around again.

Inside the circle is a large park where the city holds events. There is no parking in the actual circle so you need to find parking along one of the city streets or in the downtown parking garage. Normally it is not a problem but if there is an event it can be tricky. Inside the park is a bust of city founder Joseph Young, a covered playground, splash fountain, restrooms, visual arts pavilion features live glass blowing demonstrations, salsa dance classes, and an art gallery. An 2,500 guest amphitheater hosts free weekly concerts and events. Currently the city Christmas tree and Hanukkah display is set up here. The circle is the cultural arts heart of the city. It is also favored by the homeless residents of Hollywood. When there is events the police sweep them out but when you visit on your own it is best to keep aware of your surroundings. Other than that the landscaping is lovely and it is a beautiful place to spend...

The splash pad is not working for 3 weeks in the middle of the summer! They placed a phone number but no one responds to the phone calls and on my voice messages. The park workers are extremely rude when they don’t like something for example they were kicking us out with 6 months old baby out of the restroom during the crazy rain. They were never helpful to give the information when the park will be open after the covid or when they will open the restroom or when the splash pad will be fixed but they are quick to be aggressive to tell us to put our masks on or else they will charge me 200$ or to not sit on the benches near the park otherwise there will call police on us - And they did during covid. This park got open way after all the other parks we went to after the quarantine. The park rangers and police are always circling around however they are here to tell you what to do or not to do but don’t care when teenagers in a high quantities coming cursing drinking , hitting each other and smoking next to the small kids. This splash pad is the only reason we are coming here but it’s not working and there is no information to find out if it’s working or not before you coming here. So you have to pack your stuff for the park, drive here, park, walk all the way around with your kids just to find out the water slash is not...
