Cooper City

“Someplace Special” That Feels Just Like Home

Welcome to Greater Fort Lauderdale’s take on small-town America. The first thing you’ll notice about Cooper City is the hometown feel – quiet, tree-lined neighborhood streets, friendly residents, green spaces everywhere you look, and a strong focus on family-friendly recreational pleasures.

You’d never imagine such a beautiful, well-developed community all started as a few acres of orange groves and cattle grazing land!

The Best $1.50 You’ll Ever Spend

Traveling with kids who have energy to burn? A whole buck-fifty per person buys everyone hours of fun at Brian Piccolo Sports Park & Velodrome – plus kids under five are free!

The park’s velodrome is one of only three in the Southeastern U.S. and the only one in Florida. The park also features soccer, baseball, basketball, cricket, softball, and disc golf facilities, plus Fitness Zone − all healthy, enjoyable ways to soak up the sunshine and burn off those extra vacation calories!

Embark On A Treasure Hunt 

Spend a cool, quiet afternoon immersed in nostalgic memories and lost treasures from past generations at the Cooper City Antique Mall – the locals’ favorite for unique decor. 

With 10,000 square feet of merchandise and multiple dealers, you’ll find every style and era represented. Browse antique and vintage furniture, mid-century modern, primitives, jewelry, porcelain, cameras, lamps, paintings, and dolls.

In the market for a unique art piece? You’re in the right place. The mall specializes in repurposed and recycled art and architectural and industrial pieces.

Big Eats: Bistros to Broccolini

All that velodroming and antiquing works up an appetite. Luckily, we’ve rounded up a few favorites rated highly by locals and travelers.

Blend hints of Middle-Eastern cuisine, a strong French base, Scandinavian spark, and fresh Florida seafood and voilà: you’re feasting at La Brochette Bistro. More than a meal – it’s a mini-European escape. Any vegetarians in the house? You’ll want to check out the highly rated Broccolini Café.
