During a recent visit to St. Cloud, I spent some time exploring Lakefront Park, a beautiful…read more2.5-mile recreational park along the southern shore of East Lake Tohopekaliga, better known as East Lake Toho. This was originally home to the Disston Sugar Mill in the 1870s. After the city of St. Cloud was founded by Union Army veterans, the area gradually evolved into a scenic waterfront destination featuring walking trails and a large marina. After suffering extensive hurricane damage in 2004, the park underwent a major renovation. The improvements included 140 boat slips, new fixed and floating docks, a seawall, and a 10,000-square-foot community center. Today, Lakefront Park offers so much, with a sandy beach, splash pad, playgrounds, a concession stand, and more than two miles of paved walking and biking trails. The park also hosts a variety of community events, from monthly "Movies Under the Stars" screenings to seasonal festivals and bazaars. The full-service marina serves as a hub for boating and fishing on East Lake Toho while providing beautiful waterfront views. I enjoyed my visit and look forward to returning. Next time, I plan to take a cruise aboard The Lillie, a beautifully restored 75-foot authentic sternwheel paddleboat docked at the marina, and enjoy a meal at Crabby's on the Lake, the popular waterfront restaurant located adjacent to the park.

Agnes was active in social work and their church. In 1932 City Commissioners named Brinson Park in the couples honor. Brinson Park is a 3 acre open space park located next to Lakefront Park in Kissimmee. A linear park along Lakeshore Boulevard connects Brinson Park to Lakefront Park. Amenities at Brinson Park include BBQ grills, a fishing pier, picnic tables, restrooms that were added in 2015 and wetlands that attract a variety of wildlife. During my visit a family was enjoying a picnic and I admired the beautiful view while spotting several Florida wading birds. It is a pleasant place to walk and I like how it is connected to other parks.

We decided we are going to rent some bikes when it gets a little warmer and try our hand at finishing the path. However, we did walk some of it though, and it was beautiful.
