Autumn Vaughn· a month agoWhen it comes to cleanliness and safety, this park is it! The city of Lakeland is really making waves in their consistency of keeping minor environments hygienic and sanitary in this region. I appreciate the fact I can bring my daughters here knowing that the equipment is maintained and there is little to no garbage as far as the eyes can see! Parents, if you are looking for a place where your visual reach for safety both criminally and hygienically, look no further! I love this park and so do my girls! 🦋
Darrin Jones· 2 years agoAn amazing park for kids of all ages, many different players with different equipment and experiences. It was clean, family friendly and had lots of activities. Tennis courts look top notch and had clean restroom facilities. Perhaps the best park in Lakeland.
Yadira Sierra· 2 years agoBeaaaauuutiful Park! So much to do. Kids and I loved it, can't wait to visit again! *Limited Parking in front of the park; but do not despair drive around the park and you will find ample parking around the back of the park. :) Enjoy!
PatRJ B· 3 years agoHas been many years since we've visited. So beautiful still. Almost all the trees are grown that we've remembered.
Tanya· 4 years agoOne of the nicest public parks I've been too. My grandson loves it there.
