This park sits in a picturesque location on the Gulf between Brohard Paw Park and the Venice Fishing Pier. Ample parking, large picnic pavilions, grills, a children’s play area, and public facilities make it a perfect place for a family outing. Walk the paved walking trail around the fenced, manmade lake and observe the numerous birds and possibly an alligator or two.
