Print Friendly MapIn Pompano Beach, one of the most popular places to get a workout also happens to be the home of the Goodyear Blimp. The Pompano Airpark has acted as a blimp base since the late seventies. A two-lane, paved path rings the perimeter of the airfield, just outside the fence. It’s shared use, open to those traveling on foot as well as by bike. There are painted markers on the trail surface every half-mile. The recommended start point is at the dog park lot at the corner of Federal Highway and NE 10th Street. You can loop around and come back to that point at the end of the journey. Just head west and followed by a northern pivot along 5th Avenue. Head east on Copans. The bike trail traces the edge of the shopping mall, Pompano Citi Center. This gets you back to US-1/ Federal Highway. The loop is a total of 4.5 miles.
Park near the Pompano Dog Park at the southeast corner of the Airpark. From US 1/ Federal Highway, turn onto NE 10th Street and make the first right turn onto NE 18th Avenue. Park in the free lot.
My wife and I, along with other tandem riding friends, rode this trail twice – first Clockwise, then C-Clockwise. Pavement is pretty smooth – no rough spots to speak of. Very few cross roads – most aren’t busy. We parked by the Dog Park – Free parking and some spaces are shaded by trees. Restrooms near the entrance are pretty well kept. We even had a chance to see the Goodyear Blimp – probably prepping for the Superbowl this coming weekend.
