We were told that swans were there and they weren't lying. Many swans, white and black. Very nice. Reminds me of the parks in Newton/Brookline, Massachusetts. Very peaceful. A nice drive around. Well-kept grounds. Lots of benches.

Beautiful place. Very well maintained and developed so it limits extensive interaction between humans and wildlife such as by not having a sidewalk on the lake side, instead it is lake, road, then side walk in and around the homes. No trash present. Did witness some people throwing fishing nets and I do not know if that is legal, but if it is even with a fishing license, it seems highly inappropriate to do at this place. It doesn't fit the scene. (If it isn't allowed, police should patrol more frequently and get these people because it is affecting wildlife and endangering them and tampering with all the birds there too.)

A perfect park for picnics, feeding the birds, and enjoying downtown Lakeland. Accessible and well paved walkways.

The lake is beautiful. It was hard to find parking near a picnic table because they were either full or no parking spot near by so we ended up eating in the car but the scenery was still beautiful with the swans and ducks. So peaceful
