Quiet Waters Park is a 430-acre (1.7 km2) Broward County Park in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Quiet Waters Park is known locally for its annual Renaissance Festival and Ski Rixen cable water skiing system. Ski Rixen is one of 79 cable water ski attractions in the world, and the only wakeboard and water ski resort in South Florida. Quiet Waters also features a man-made beach, a skate park, campgrounds, fishing, mountain bike trails and a children's water park that is open seasonally. In October 2008, due to budget cuts, park hours were reduced. More reductions are planned.

Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,

to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
