This park is very nice and well maintained. They have a little of everything as well as public restrooms and plenty of places to sit and relax. Apart from a well covered playground they have a basketball court and other games like horse shoe. They do have a grill and plenty of seats and a nice little trail that wraps around the park. Definitely worth the visit for all ages .

Another beautiful covered playground in Cape Coral! Absolutely brilliant. There is also a restroom for the moms 😁 The walkway with the palm trees is quite lovely and nicely maintained. Highly recommend!

Nice Lil gem hidden right in the middle of town

Our kids have fun here. 2 big play areas, plus a rock wall, swings (including a couple toddler swings), plus huge basketball court area with multiple hoops.

Not a whole lot going on for a 17 month old but lots of space for 4 and older. There were kids roller blading, playing basketball at one point, football in a small field, and riding bikes too. Small but enough to keep them busy for an hour!
