Love this park!! The slash pad is amazing. Great view of the lake. Great area, bathrooms were good. Plenty of shade and even grills. Can’t believe I’ve lived in Orlando so long and didn’t know about this place.

As a tourist it was fantastic to meet all of the people who work in the emergency services in and around Sanford. Great to see the community giving up it's time to educate kid's and adults alike

This is one of my kids and my favorite playground. Pros: 1. Clean restrooms 2. Big playground with multiple play structures for all ages 3. Splash pad 4. Shaded pavilion and benches 5. Basketball court 6. Beautiful scenic view of the lake in the background 7. Walking/running trail around the park Cons: 1. It can get creepy in the evening here. 3. The slides and some areas of play structures get too hot in the summer due to lack of shade in the play area.

Beautiful place, amazing and kind people, clean and peaceful!! My first time here with my kids and definitely not the last one. Went to the Museum and Karen was very informative and very nice to my kids (the way she explained everything so they could understand) RECOMMENDED 100%!!
