Colohatchee Park is an 8.5 acre community park with a seven acre mangrove preserve. The name of the park came from pioneer William Collier who planted an orange grove in the 1890's. The Seminoles liked his oranges and called him Colo which was a shortened form of Collier. The Seminole word for river was Hatchee so Colohatchee means Collier at the River. The last time I was here, the park was under renovation. It is so nice to see it open. There is a boardwalk from the parking lot that takes you through the mangroves, across the Middle River, and over to the dog park. You have to be registered to use the dog park. There are very few open dog parks any more but it is much safer to have everyone registered. I am so happy to see that Wilton Manors made it a priority to protect this patch of mangrove. The mangroves filter and clean the water, prevent erosion of the coastline, and provide a habitat and refuge to wildlife. The walk is short and it is nice that a boardwalk was put in here but the most important thing this park does is it improves the health of the Middle River.

Like to go there and watch mother nature. nice and quiet area to recharge batteries. I recommend it. Easy to park near and very green

This is a nice small park. Went with my kids but the boardwalk trail to the left was closed so I’m not sure what was down that way. The other boardwalk trail passes over a small lake and ends up at a dog park, exercise area and dog park. Not much to do here. Just a nice quick walk. Glad to have checked it out.

We were at the grand opening and our Golden Mackey had a great time! There is a great view of a variety of species of mangroves and the animals that live in this natural habitat. An elevated walkway takes you through the wetland areas of the Middle River and leads to the back of the park. Located in the back of the park are restrooms, a dog play area and an asphalt walking trail. Recently, remodeled, Colohatchee Dog Park offers a beautiful, safe place to take your dog. It has caged areas for large and small dogs. Water is accessible for dogs and their companions. The park open to all. However, to get into the dog play area registration is required.

The city just finished upgrading the park and they did a fantastic job. Great for shooting photos of nature or just to take a stroll through the mangroves.
