Broward County's website gives the origins for
Trade Winds Park, located on the north side of Copans Road, just west of the Turnpike:
Trade Winds Farm was a horse-breeding and boarding business owned and operated by William K. and Margueritte C. McLean from 1944 to 1975. Their original farmhouse still stands and is a museum on the north side of the park. In 1975, Broward County bought the property from the widowed Mrs. McLean for $1.75 million, $150,000 of which she returned to the County for the development of the park.
The McLean's were Pompano residents who had previously owned McLean Machinery and Equipment Company, located at 1001 Hammondville Road. When I-95 was constructed through Pompano Beach, this property was purchased for the Interstate's right-of-way.
