    The best & biggest park I have ever been to in Southwest Florida. 2 playgrounds, 2 fountain/sprinkler areas for the kids (which are great bc they are fenced in). Great park for cookouts & bday parties

    This park has everything, from a train ride for children to a butterfly house to a Farmer's Market on Fridays during the winter. But be ready to pay a few bucks for parking.

    This park is a great bird estuary. Come at dusk and watch the hundreds of birds with many species come to roost.

    These idiots turn off the splash pads from 12-1 daily it's BS. Do you maintenance when you close them. We def won't be back here. What idiot thought this was a good idea!!
