Yep, back in 2008 the City of Lauderhill named a park after Broward County Commissioner Ilene Lieberman (D-Mango). The “Ilene Lieberman Botanical Gardens” is located on the 3800 block of Inverrary Blvd just north of Oakland Park Blvd. Families will love the “amphi-theater”, “tot lot”, “excercise lot” and “nature trail” located next to the Inverrary Vacation Resort.
Just don’t bring your dog. The Gardens has 11 “No Dogs In Park” signs! Ilene Lieberman loves mangoes, but apparently she doesn’t care for pooches.
Speaking of Inverrary, longtime residents think of just one person when someone mentions Inverrary–Jackie Gleason. Fans of “The Great One” need not worry, just up the road from the Ilene Lieberman Botanical Gardens is The Jackie Gleason Park. Sure it’s not as nice but Jackie was just a world-famous television and movie star; Ilene Lieberman is a legal expert, mango advocate and a well-connected Broward Democrat. Priorities people!
And Away We Go…

Wow. I have been to this part many times. It only goes to show you what a camera, purposely pointed always in the wrong direction can do.
The shrub is Bamboo, and it was recently cut. The shot you did with your camera was always pointed away from the park. Too bad, it is an award winning park.
You didn’t show the amphitheater or seating, art, nor anything really else in the park.
This is home of Jazz Picnic in the Park, and it is a really great event with large attendance. Maybe you should attend someday.
What I think your problem is is the name of the park itself. If so, then say it. It shouldn’t bias the place itself which many attend throughout Broward County.

It is a nice park. Lots of pics of everything just space constraints. Of course such a nice park is worthy of the name “Jackie Gleason” not “Ilene Lieberman”.
Under Jackie Gleason, Lauderhill became a world class destination. home to a major golf tournament which attracted movie stars, celebrities, athletes. Also, he attracted snow birds who wanted glamour, glitz and golf. Inverrary became home to first class hotels, restaurants, shopping and movie theaters. That waterfall became a symbol of Inverrary’s prestige.
Under Ilene Lieberman, Bev Stracher, & co. Inverrary wasted away. The golf course and tennis courts are in disrepair. The snowbirds flew away. The movie theaters closed. Restaurants went from first class dining to Checkers and McDonalds. The hotels are a joke; Check out TripAdvisor…reviews are unbelievable. The waterfall stopped working and is now a stagnant symbol to the governing prowess of Ilene Lieberman.
The Botanical Gardens, no matter how shiny and beautiful, is a joke. Who cares about a jazz concert when the rest of the city is falling down? It’s a monument to the kiss-ass mentality of Democrats in this town. All bow down at the feet of Ilene Lieberman.
Inverrary deserves better. Lauderhill deserves better. Broward County deserves better. Jackie Gleason deserves better.
You deserve better.
Winter is coming.

Didn’t the city of Lauderhill just get “bailed out” by the county as well?
