ST. GEORGE PARK: THE COMMUNITY ON THE MOVE LAUDERHILL’S YOUTH SPORTS

Hello Parents! Are you ready for your child to learn responsibility, encouragement and the impact of positive sportsmanship while working collaboratively? The City of Lauderhill’s Broncos and Lions Football and Cheer Programs are ready to teach your child all the skills that they need, both on and off the field. Both the Football and Cheer Programs offer caring coaches, a safe environment, mental toughness, discipline, team building and more. Register your child now by visiting CivicRec on the City of Lauderhill’s Website: Catalog - City of Lauderhill Parks & Recreation (secure.rec1.com). All home games are held at the Lauderhill Sports Park, 7500 W. Oakland Park Blvd., while the practice locations are:

The St. George Community Center is located on the east side of Lauderhill. Park Staff provides programs and activities for all ages, genders and backgrounds. The newly renovated community center received upgrades to the weight room, computer lab and outdoor restrooms, and a new covered basketball court to keep park users cool while enjoying games. We welcome everyone in the City of Lauderhill to check out what we have to offer.
