iDesign Events & Decor· 4 years agoI was hired to design and decorate this park for a young ladies sweet 16 birthday party. Her theme was Chanel inspired and it turned out lovely.
Glenn 8D· a year agoLee county Parks and recs does a great job of keeping the facilities open clean and safe. But like all public spaces it really depends on how good the people take care of what's been given them. Ample bathrooms water fountains playground for kids; swing sets children and baby slides, monkey bars, climbing walls, toddler slides all on cushioned with wood chips covered ground. sand volleyball court, tennis / pickleball courts, basketball courts, open fields for soccer football and plenty of parking, all free thanks to Lee county.
Celina 239· a year agoI love this Park. It been around since I was a baby. Love the nature and it has so many things you can do. The only thing you might just have to be worried about is there some homeless and drunk people around the area. So just be careful usually they don't bother.
