Ponce de Leon Park is a true gem! This park offers a serene escape with its beautiful natural scenery and tranquil atmosphere. The walking trails are well-maintained, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature. The views of the water are breathtaking,
Nice park with fishing, harbor view, boat launch, sandy beach, children’s playground and for the time being a bird rescue. Many historical markers and a nature walk. Only downside is that they don’t allow pets. This is a must see. You can kayak from here and watch the sailboats heading out the c
Nice place to go if you really need a beach and don't want to drive too far. Take your lunch and make it a day!
Went to watch the sunset here, best place in Punta Gorda to watch the sunset in my opinion. It was so beautiful!
I laid my husband down to rest. I put his Ashes in the water because pontellion discovered punctual Gore in the phone and youth. And I thought my husband's Ashes when they to rest in the water. Be young forever so I love this park with all my heart. This was 17 years ago, November 26th I put him in
There's a short path that goes over a swamp area it can get pretty dark in there in the evening and a little scary LOL. Also there's a small playground for the children. The walk to the beach is short it's a beautiful view of the sea. While I was visiting I observed a thunderstorm in the distanc
Just love these pocket parks.
A small but decent beach. Actual rest rooms! And they are clean and well supplied. 😉.
There are a couple of short board walks into the mangroves.
A bird rescue place that has a small entry fee and well worth it.
Often a vendor of some sort around noon until mid-afternoo
On the peace river, that contain a beautiful bird sanctuary for wounded birds. Small beach with plenty of shelters and benches. Can watch boats of all types exiting and entering the river. The mangrove walkways leads one into a different world filled with birds and little creatures.
A quaint park that was unusually empty for how nice it was. We stopped on our way to see the sunset and it was beautiful! There's a ledge to sit on and all the people here were very nice!

Nice and cool today 1/6/22. Several people doing lots of different things like walking, biking, fishing, picture taking, sun bathing, and launching boats. Wild life information center there to visit, and a small play area for kids. It was nice and relaxing to just walk around. No beach but a sm
Beautiful view of what I know as Charlotte Harbour. One can watch the boats from Punta Gorda Isles. There is a seawall that has a beach area to sun yourself. The wildlife and bird sanctuary is a few hundred feet away. You can see all types of wildlife especially birds. There is also a boat ramp clos
Beautiful place, quiet, nice wall or beach to sit on and the sunsets are breathtaking. One of my favorite spots by the Isles!
Nice public boat launch too can easily accommodate a nice fishing boat!
An extremely enjoyable outing for the whole family. The food at the the old Spanish mill is incredible and making the pancakes is a highlight. Though they will cook them for you it seems they taste even better when you put in the work!!
There is consruction going on at this time Jan 2021. We were able to sit on a bench near the playground and see a beautiful sunset. They have bathrooms that were clean and a boat ramp. Nice place to sit and eat dinner. There are covered benches. Lots of history markers and statues. Cool place! We wa
