I come here almost every day to walk my dog. It is a huge park, friendly to all visitors with…read moreplaygrounds, sports fields, and nature trails. The visitors generally do a very good job of behaving themselves, which I personally am thankful for because the park rangers do absolutely nothing. Several times I have seen people fishing in the lakes around the park (which is also a STATE PRESERVE WITH CLEARLY POSTED NO FISHING SIGNS), and every time the rangers have been completely unaware. They rarely venture outside of their station. As a result of this the quality of this park is slowly degrading. Aside from illegal fishing there is now graffiti and other signs of vandalism in multiple places throughout the park. Come here while you still can, before long it will be a much worse place because of lazy rangers.

Beautiful scenery, peaceful walking paths, and plenty of space to enjoy nature with our pup without feeling restricted or unwelcome.

If you're visiting Naples with your dog and looking for a relaxing outdoor spot to walk, explore, and unwind together, this is definitely worth the visit.

Mackle Park was named in honor of Frank E. Mackle Jr. (1916-1993). Mackle was a developer who had…read morepreviously developed Key Biscayne with his brothers. Frank arrived in what was then a primitive Marco Island in 1962 and saw potential in the undeveloped town. He was soon joined in the venture by his brothers, Elliott and Robert. All of the brothers were engineers and were employed by the Deltona Corporation founded by their father. Frank became the President of the Deltona Corporation and led the modernization of Marco Island. Mackle Park is impressive as it has everything that residents and visitors to Marco Island could want in outdoor recreation. The park has a community center with teen center, basketball court, bocce courts, open field area for play, picnic area, shuffleboard courts, a soccer/football field, volleyball court, and splash pad. One of the standout feature of the park is the creative playground that is a hit with kids. It has a pirate ship, castle turrets, and lots of places to climb and engage in imaginative play. My favorite part of the park is the beautifully landscaped walking path that winds around the lake. A sign at the entrance to the trail shows how you can increase the half mile walk around the lake to .9 miles by incorporating walking the perimeter of the fields in the back of the park. It is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous jog. The lake is also a great place to bird watch and fish. Mackle Park has something for everyone. It offers a blend of recreational facilities and natural beauty that makes it a must-visit for anyone in the area. Whether you're looking to let the kids play, enjoy a peaceful walk, or partake in community events or a class, Mackle Park offers it all and more.

Once in the preserve the roads are not paved and can be muddy, I have a low car and there was one area I was a little nervous about, but we did not have any problems.

The preserve is open weekends November through May except when there is hunting. There are camping sites available. There are hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails. The preserve is quite a distance off Alligator Alley, but it was worth the time to get there. I would definitely return.

You might see birds, snakes, alligators and cattle, but during a particular season you can see these beautiful flowers all over the place.
