Sports and Outdoor Recreation
Greater Fort Lauderdale’s year-round sunshine, warmth, and access to the water makes it a sportsman’s paradise. Spectators can watch professional and Division I college sports teams like the Florida Panthers and Miami Dolphins, while those looking to participate can play at world-class golf courses, fish with the best, and scuba, snorkel, and sail along beautiful beaches.

Where Champions Play
Sports fans aiming to chill out should look no further than center ice at Amerant Bank Arena, home to the NHL’s Florida Panthers. Amerant Bank Arena is easily accessible from anywhere in Greater Fort Lauderdale and its top-notch amenities make catching a game a convenient and cool way to experience the sports scene.

Extreme Excitement
Greater Fort Lauderdale is a hotspot for cycling and skating, including BMX, skateboarding, roller derby, and go-kart racing. Head to Brian Piccolo Park & Velodrome to experience the only velodrome in Florida. The oval track is made especially for professional and recreational cycling and in-line skating.

For those who like to lace up their skates, Xtreme Action Park has an indoor Roller Skating Rink, as well as a go-kart track, bowling alley, and trampoline park. At more than 200,000 square feet, Xtreme Action Park is the largest action sports facility in the state and also plays host to matches in Florida’s premier roller derby league, the Gold Coast Derby Grrls.

Fore!
Often within an errant tee shot of the waterfront are many of Greater Fort Lauderdale’s famous golf courses, designed by such renowned architects as Robert Trent Jones and Tom Fazio. With inexpensive greens fees and warm weather for year-round play, golf is as can’t-miss as that 2-foot putt for birdie.
