I just called Markham Park to go ahead and get our group on the books but they are already completely booked for the 14th! I am working on identifying another park in the central Fort Lauderdale area and will update on this thread as soon as I have that ironed out.

Personally i would be happy just to use their parking lot lol

Thanks for the feedback guys - I'll work on getting some new options sorted out first thing tomorrow. Plantation Heritage Park (approx. I-595 and FL-Turnpike) looks like a great option but since they are closed on Wednesdays I couldn't get anyone on the phone earlier. I'll also look into CB Smith.

Definitely a BBQ - burgers, chicken, etc. is probably a good bet.
Here's a link to the facilities information at Markham Park:
http://www.sunrisefl.gov/2facilityr_Picnicp.html
Small pavilion (accommodates 20-30 people) with 1 gas grill will run ~$50. They also have larger pavilions that have 2 grills.
Presumably - unless people bring along girlfriends/mistresses/wives I imagine it will be mostly guys. I'll bring my gf if she's not working that day.

![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
If we don't do this I think our best option is to meet at Markham as planned for the 'meet-up' part and then caravan to another spot for food afterwards for with everybody interested in food. In my opinion a good spot would be the Fuddrucker's in the Shoppes of Pembroke outdoor shopping area at approx. I-75 & Pines Blvd.

Here's an update - Plantation Heritage Park in Central Fort Lauderdale area (approx. I-595 & FL-Turnpike) still has 2 small pavilions available to reserve on the 14th. Park is nice but is not nearly as large as Markham and importantly parking is kind of sparse. That said, the woman I spoke to said that there is a large, flat lawn directly next to one of the pavilions available and we are allowed to park there. What do you guys think? Should I reserve it?? Please post your opinion ASAP and I appreciate the feedback!

I'm good with any place. So how many wives/gf's are coming? My wife wants to go, but she wants to know if there are going to be other females there, lol.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I think we should go with the plan to meet at Markham as planned for the 'meet-up' part and then caravan to Fuddrucker's at the Shoppes of Pembroke at approx I-75 & Pines Blvd. As Gus83 pointed out, this way we wouldn't have to worry about taking charcoal, grilling equipment, food, etc., nor grass/mud from parking on the lawn at the other park.
Here's a map for Markham:

I have some free time this weekend so I'll try to run by Markham and scope out a good parking area.
MiamiAMG - My gf wants to go and is going to try to trade shifts with another nurse on her floor so she can make it.

if you want to meet up at markham, once you enter through the gate, go straight and over the bridge, then you will come across a large paved parking lot where everyone can meet and ride out.
the only down side is that you will have to pay to get in, im just going straight from my house to fuds as i live 2 min away from there

You think it'd be easier to have everyone just meet up in one of those big parking lots on the backside of the Shops at Pembroke shopping center instead of at Markham? It seems to me that would work fine as well since everytime I've been out there the 'faraway' lots in the back have a ton of parking available.

MiamiAMG, my gf should be coming too, so bring all the ladies

Great - Fuddrucker's it is then. Say noon on the 14th to start rolling in to the lot? I can no longer edit my original post so I'll PM a moderator to request assistance with that.
