Beautiful little park to walk in. There’s still some damage from the hurricane to check out. Had a lovely walk by the water and around downtown Punta Gorda. We went on a Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of parking.

So beautiful to walk along waters edge on a level, safe sidewalk. It is refreshing and lifts my spirits to see all the nature, dolphins jumping, etc The benches are helpful to those who need a break or just want to take in the view. Hurricanes have tried to destroy this area but it remains glorious!

Nice park. No coffee options here far as I could see. I think there might be a vending machine a little to the southwest of here along the shoreline near the boat launch for soft drinks? There are bathrooms here at this park. The old abandoned hotel is slightly to the North East of here and the sidewalk is closed off. The one steps to the Gazebo are apparently damaged at that time of this writing and roped off for future repair. The place is not really handicap accessible, but kind of is depending upon where you go in the park. The view here is great. It looks like the paradise that it is. The sidewalk that skirts the shoreline gives you a taste of fresh clean air. It certainly show cases paradise. There is not an accessible beach here. It is a retaining wall next to the sidewalk. They have a tennis court here and quite a few sidewalks so you can ride a bike here. Park is open 24 hrs. No way to lock it and not gated.

We loved this park today with its beautiful riverfront view of the Peace River in Punta Gorda. The park was full of visitors attending the annual Hibiscus Festival. Many vendors were set up around the park selling potted plants, including hibiscus of many colors. A stage was set up with live music as we browsed the vendor setups around the park. We would like to return to the park during a time with no events just to enjoy the shade and riverfront views. It looks like a nice place to reduce stress and relax.

Great place to walk and enjoy the waterside views. A nice dock to walk out on. Fantastic place to watch the sunset. There are benches and grassy areas to sit. Ponce de Leon statue and memorial located here. Parking is limited, but I found a few available spaces. Dog friendly.
