West Park, officially the City of West Park, is a township in Broward County, Florida, United States. It was created on March 1, 2005. It is located in the southeastern part of the county and consists of the neighborhoods of Carver Ranches, Lake Forest, Miami Gardens (Broward County) and Utopia. A large part of the town is west of the town of Pembroke Park, so the new town was named “West Park”. The city has a population of 15,130 at the 2020 census.[5] The city is bordered by Miami-Dade County to the south, Pembroke Park to the east, Hollywood to the north and Miramar to the west.

The previously unincorporated West Park neighborhoods embarked on the road to incorporation in 2004 after the Florida Legislature passed Bill 1491, which called for an election on November 2, 2004. After a vote of 3,400 to 956 for incorporation , West Park was on its way to becoming Broward County’s 31st city. After the election, residents elected an interim transition committee and held a series of workshops to gain input on the level of municipal-type services to be provided. It was decided that the new township would be known as West Park until consensus could be reached on a permanent name; this name was later retained.

In 2011, West Park received recognition from the national non-profit organization KaBOOM! This recognition was due to the city’s effort to “increase play opportunities for children”.
