What parents say
"Lovely park and walk way. Loved the music that plays on speakers as you walk through. Many areas to sit and watch the view. You can ride swan pedal boats here. It’s really cute and seems fun. You will also find many swans around the lake. Lots of places to eat near by."

"Love this park. Large area with water view and shade. Beautiful duck, geese, swan and other wading birds. Love the nesting birds, too! Baby anhingas and egrets. Be sure to give nesting mamas space. Plenty of seating options, multiple restrooms. Nicely landscaped. Play areas."

"While this is by far one of my favorite parks in Florida, I am only giving it a 4 star review because I think the city could do better with their priorities regarding this lake. It has so much to offer including various bird species (along with other animals) to spectate, gorgeous scenery, and the community all seems to enjoy it. However, the water quality for the animals should be priority over renovating the park to make it more modernized. In addition, there should be some social workers/outreach/non-profit organizations helping out the increasing number of homeless people there, so that if"
