My kid plays soccer here with Seminole Youth Soccer, and it's easily one of our favorite spots for practice and weekend games! The soccer fields are well maintained, and the sidelines have plenty of space for families to relax and cheer on their teams.

There's ample parking, clean facilities, and it always feels safe and family-friendly.

Kewannee Park is located in the Indian Hills subdivision near S. R. 436 in Casselberry. This six acre park has the typical amenities you would expect to find. There is a large pavilion with picnic tables,, basketball court, playground, exercise stations, jogging path, restrooms, and pier. My favorite part of the park however is in the back where there is an elevated boardwalk that takes you through the woods. At the entrance to the trail I spotted a red-shouldered hawk. Across the street from the park is a stormwater pond that cleans the water in the Cassel Creek Watershed before it flows through Lake Kewannee and Howel, on to Lake Jessup, the St. John's River, and out to the Atlantic Ocean. Kewannee Park also serves as a trailhead to Kewannee Trail which runs along the north side of the park which runs 1.7 miles between Oxford St. and Cassel Creek Blvd. I love the recreational options and natural beauty of this park.

A hidden gem park that's perfect for families!…read more We always love a good park, and Chapin Station Park absolutely takes the cake.

I also docked a star because there are no bathrooms so come prepared with that knowledge.

My son also plays t-ball on the fields here and loves it! Don't miss the skate part on the opposite side of the building from the playground. There is a little free library at the entrance! It would be nice if the outside doors into the bathrooms, closer to the splash pad, weren't always locked. It sucks to walk all the way around and through the building with wet kids. Only bad experiences we've had have been a couple times when teachers bring their daycare kids to the playground and they overrun it. Have had issues with older kids cussing and speaking inappropriately -the caregivers pay very little attention to them. They seem to come out at the end of the day while waiting for pickup.

Dr. Gaston Holcombe Edwards (1875-1934) served as a surgeon in the Colon Hospital in the Panama Canal Zone. He moved to Orlando in 1919 where he practiced medicine. The history of the park goes back to the 1920's when following the land boom, the Junior Chamber of Commerce wanted to build a solarium and boat basin on Lake Ivanhoe. Orlando Mayor S.Y. Way and Dr. Gaston Edwards who was serving as the the chairman of the utilities commission disapproved of the plan. Lake Ivanhoe was Orlando's main water source and they feared it would get contaminated. In honor of his dedication to Orlando's health and well being, this park was named in honor of Dr. Gaston. Today the park offers a paved walking path with exercise stations, boat ramp, playground, and pavilion with grills. Gaston Edwards Park is a popular destination for cooking out, exercise, jet skiing, paddle boarding, or just sitting on a bench and enjoying the lake view.
