Cannery Park, located at 901 Virginia Ave., stands on the exact site where the original community…read morecannery, built by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935, once operated. The WPA helped establish the canning plant in St. Cloud, Florida, where surplus meats, fruits, and vegetables were preserved for local use. The cannery remained in operation throughout the Great Depression before eventually falling into disrepair. In the 1990s, local teacher Mary Lee Powell and her students spearheaded a restoration project to save the historic building. In 2003, the original cannery was relocated to Peghorn Nature Park & Trails, where it has been preserved as a museum. A replica of the original 1930s cannery building was added to the park and serves as a community space available for rentals and includes a kitchen, restrooms, and office space. Today, Cannery Park has been transformed into a modern, inclusive recreational space featuring an ADA-accessible, all-inclusive children's playground, covered picnic pavilions, and park benches. The playground was designed by Landscape Structures, founded by Steve and Barb King, which is known for creating innovative, one-of-a-kind playgrounds across the country, including several in Florida. The playground includes wheelchair-accessible ramps, a Sway Fun Glider, climbing structures, a sensory dome, Braille and clock activity panels, slides, and more. The zipline looked especially fun. This was my first time visiting a Landscape Structures playground, and it is impressive. The thoughtful design goes far beyond traditional playground equipment, creating a space where children of all abilities can play, explore, and have fun together. A little more greenery and landscaping would have been nice but Cannery Park feels like the playground of the future.

What a lovely day we had at Shingles Regional Park! We started off at 4280 W Vine St Kissimmee,…read morewhich runs past the Osceola Welcome center, Historical museum to the pioneer village. It was very informational and neat to see a little piece of history. Once we were done there we got on the Bridge walkway. We did not realize how long the Park Trail was, which is 17 miles! 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. I can't wait to explore more of this lovely park that we ran across! So more review to come:)

I loved strolling through, snapping photos with the sculptures, and just soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. One standout piece was the shiny, tango dancers' sculpture that instantly reminded me of the famous Bean at Millennium Park in Chicago. I couldn't stop admiring my reflection in it, which made for a really fun and playful experience. We stepped inside the Wave Hotel. The interior is uniquely and beautifully decorated. I felt like walking through a modern art museum. The garden sits under Orlando International airport flight path, so we heard planes passing overhead occasionally. It's just a minor distraction. Most fun activities in Orlando cost money, this sculpture garden is a refreshing exception. We were there in the early morning before weather turned hot. I can only imagine how spectacular it will look once the light projections are up after dark.

Nice decent sized park on the south east side of Lake Tohopegekaliga. The park is a little obscure,…read morebut nice. There are various hiking trails or paths throughout the dense Cyprus(?) trees. The trails wind through trees that would be awesome to climb. There are a few benches, tables and grills around the park. Although near the back of the park, there is what was once a nice fire pit. I still think this would be a neat place for a family an friends social event (party). There is a pavilion, a grill and a lot of open space to have a nice gathering. Ok it's a little hike to the outhouse, but I think it would be a fun time. And although in need of a little repair, it was nice to see the flagpole erected from an Eagle Scout project.

It's been a long time since I updated this review. Didn't go often last year because it was…read moreliterally under water. Couldn't walk the trail if you tried, though you might have been able to swim it. It's about 40 minutes from my house and the trail is less then a mile anyone. They have an old schoolhouse, a cannery, and a blacksmith building on the premises, so that's pretty cool to see. Once in a while they host pioneer type days, which are fun, but yesterday's was really tiny. Only a couple venders. The blacksmith was there, someone talking about composting, and Shellie's Jellies (best jelly ever! Award winning, great flavors, my fav is the pineapple rum, but all of her jellies are bursting with flavor, except maybe the beauty berry, that one is a bit reserved) The best time of the year to go is Halloween (I'll have to go back and find my pics from last Halloween, insane). Entry is free during the day. Open Mon-Saturday. They have a fright night type of thing Halloween nights, they charge for that If you live close go to see the park often, quiet and relaxing. If you live a little further like me, at least go for Halloween! Oh, yes, the nature trail is now dry, they've cleaned it up, got rid of those horrible pallets, and cut back some of the vegetation so even my 80 year old mom felt comfortable walking through

It's always been, and still is, a lovely and peaceful park. Full of exploration, adventure, joy, with so many opportunities for so many types of events, get together, celebrations, etc. We reserved a multi-family sight and with support from the park staff we were able to use the group camp site that had a nice big bone fire ring, which is where we had our celebration. It's was just isolated enough from the rest of the park we were able to listen to music, talk, and go adventuring around a little bit. We're definitely coming back next year! This is the PERFECT park for a campfire, bone fire, lake swimming, and overnight camping.
