Cooper City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan is in full development and your input is critical to this effort.

An online survey is now available to help residents share what improvements they want to see at parks and recreational facilities. Additionally, feedback will help improve our programs and where priorities should be placed.



At Cooper City’s Suellen H. Fardelmann Sports Complex, we understand the importance of maintaining a high-quality facility for our residents and visitors.
