Demi Mullen· 3 years agoWe love this playground. There’s a small part for little kids and a bigger one for older kids. There’s plenty of things on the playground: slides, swings, climbing wall, sea-saw, monkey bars, fire pole. Overall a great playground set!

Rachel Green· 10 months agoLakewood Ranch Park has a bit of everything—soccer, football, and baseball fields, plus courts and a really nice playground. It’s clean and feels well maintained. The playground has areas for different ages, and the sports facilities are busy but organized. Parking can fill up when multiple events are happening, but overall it’s a great place for both families and athletes.
