Here in Sunrise, R&R sessions are about doing nothing in the most scenic destinations across South Florida.

Craving a dose of waterfront tranquility? Markham Park invites you to its lush trails, peaceful lakes, and the occasional model airplane soaring overhead. 

For something a little more off-the-grid, Sawgrass Sanctuary lets you trade city noise for birdsong, boardwalk strolls, and enough fresh air to make you forget about your piling emails for a while.
