This is a beautiful park that offers a lot of things to do. The hiking and bike trails are well-maintained and offer a nice change of scenery from lake views to wooded areas to a botanical garden. Paddle boats are available for rent and there are playgrounds (including two water ones) for the kids. This is also a great bird-watching... More

Lakes Park is a great place to take your children. They have large play area and a mini water area for the kids to splash around in. I did see a huge alligator in the lake and at some places there is no fence so I wouldn't go by the lake itself

I didn't actually get out of the car but drove around the park. You have to pay for parking, and on the memorial day weekend it was very busy and I didn't see any dogs so thought it would be best to go somewhere else. There are several parking lots which seem to be nice and well labeled so you... More

Enjoyed the miniature train ride for the entire family and the bycle bicycles built for 2-4. One of the best county parks in southwest Florida for kids.

Lakes Park is always a good time. Sometimes I head out just for a run around the lake. Other times we are headed for a birthday gathering or a concert in the park.

Lakes Park holds a special place in my heart - I grew up spending many days playing and running races at Lakes. Now I enjoy Lakes for daily runs, tossing the frisbee with friends, picnics, biking and rollerblading. Literally, you wouldn't expect such a great getaway in the middle of Fort Myers, but it's awesome! You can enjoy the sunset... More

This park is large with facilities of restroom and water. There are many volunteers working to make it even more beautiful. National Garden Day is celebrated here on an annual basis. There is a place where an individual can have a garden. Children can take a train ride through the park. I like this park because each time I go... More
