Cooper City has the distinction of being a Tree City USA for over 40 years. They are very proud and committed to their mature tree canopy, evidenced by the city logo which is a tree and the words "Someplace Special".
The native tree canopy provides tremendous amounts of wildlife habitat. The city has excellent park and recreational facilities and exceptional schools. The parks and open spaces provide habitat for the "Threatened" Florida burrowing owl. For the past 30 years, the city has held an annual tree and plant care workshop. Cooper City was chosen by Family Circle magazine as one of the 10 best towns for families, and listed by SafeWise as one of the top ten safest cities in Florida for 2022.
