The Loggerhead Park Mooring Field opened on Friday, October 10, 2025. The first mooring field in the Broward County Parks and Recreation system was developed to provide overnight stays for the owner/operator and crew/guests in vessels 40 feet or less in length. The mooring field is adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway in Hollywood and attached to a barrier island to allow access to local restaurants and entertainment. It's coordinates are latitude: 26.035699751, longitude: -80.11610654.
The mooring field has 28 slips available to rent (22 spots in the North Cove and six in the South Cove), which provide fore-and-aft anchoring systems for each boat. Mooring slips will be assigned by staff based upon availability and size of vessel. Maximum boat length is 40 feet. Vessels entering or leaving the mooring field must do so between the hours of 9:30AM to 6PM. Check-in time is not earlier than 1PM on the day of arrival. Checkout time is no later than 11AM on the day of departure. Only one vessel is allowed to enter the mooring field to check in at a time.
A daily fee and permit are required to moor. Maximum length of stay is 90 days followed by a minimum off-site stay of five days to be allowed back in for an additional 90 days (no more than 180 cumulative days in any rolling twelve-month period). In the event of a tropical storm/hurricane, the mooring field will be evacuated. There is a $30/nightly fee and a facility permit is required. (Link on the right.)
In the North Cove there is also an aluminum floating dock with a sewage pump-out station, freshwater service, and a fire hose cabinet. The dock can also accommodate dinghy boats for upland access.
An office is on-site, and renters have use of restricted access laundry facilities, showers, and restroom in addition to the use of a community gathering shelter (first-come, first-served). Pets must be on a leash no longer than six-foot when on shore. An Aden Perry Hero Life Ring is also on site to enhance water safety.
The Loggerhead Park Mooring Field has been established under Broward County Code of Ordinances, Article XXVI, Sections 25-1/2-152 and 25-1/2-153, allowing Broward County to better regulate transient boaters and derelict vessels in the area and allow for the recreational use of mooring spots by transient boaters through permitted registration.
Construction of this project was authorized under permits issued by the Broward County Resilient Environment Department, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
