Lowdermilk Park is one of my favorite beaches in Naples. I've grown up visiting this beach with my…read moregrandparents for years and it has always been so well-maintained. The sand is so fluffy and clean. Beautiful shells are scattered along the seashore here, so if shell hunting is your kinda thing, bring a small bucket with you to the beach. The water is mostly calm, but sometimes there are waves. Bathrooms, a concession stand, and picnic tables are all found at this park. There is a parking lot, however keep in mind this lot can easily fill up around busy seasons like spring break, so it's best to get to the beach early. This is also the perfect spot to watch the sunset. Check out this beach if you're in the area!

Whether you are a child or adult, a water enthusiast, a fitness fanatic, a sports lover, or nature lover, this park has something for everyone. inside the park is the Sun-N-Fun Lagoon Water Park, a large water park that is the perfect place to cool off. The aquatic fun park has a splash playground, five water slides, four pools, and a lazy river. For the sports enthusiast there is eight tournament soccer, 4 natural grass and 4 FIFA certified artificial turf fields, and five tournament softball fields. There is also a fitness center. For those who like to bike, walk, and jog, there are 2.5 miles of walking trails. Some of the trails go through natural wetlands where you can see plants and wildlife. Children love to visit the Golisano Children's Museum of Naples and the state of the art, Can U Dig It Calusa Fossil Dig Playground with a dig play area for children and interactive playground. The park is a haven for the endangered Big Cypress Fox Squirrels but unfortunately I didn't see any. I did enjoy the boardwalks through the nature area and the butterfly garden. Seldom do you come across a park that offers so much. North Collier Regional Park is an amazing amenity for the community of Naples.

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.

This park was opened in 1977 in River Park, a segregated subdivision that was developed in the…read more1960s to house black families. The Charlie C. Anthony Park was named in honor of African-American Private Charlie C. Anthony who lost his life in combat on May 12, 1969 in Vietnam. Charlie grew up in Alabama in a family of sharecroppers before they moved to a 5th where he attended the former George Washington Carver High School where and excelled in athletics as a star basketball player and track runner. In the summer of 1968 he was drafted into the army and was assigned to serve with the 3rd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment of the 11th Infantry Brigade. While in Vietnam he was killed in action at the age of 23 on May 12, 1969 near Xuan Thanh, a small village in South Vietnam. He left behind a wife and young daughter. Posthumously he was awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. PFC Anthony's official Army citation reads, "Private Anthony, with complete disregard for his personal safety, attacked, and killed the insurgents. When he and the remainder of the squad tried to prevent some enemy soldiers from skirting the flank of his unit, a firefight ensued that caused Anthony to be fatally wounded." The Charlie C. Anthony Park is 7.92 acres located on the Gordon River. For years the park was lacking in basic amenities, so much so that federal civil rights investigators claimed Naples leaders were discriminating against minority residents. Finally in 2018, Naples fixed up the park and installed a proper sign. Previously the park was just called Anthony Park. Today the park is as beautiful as all of the of the other Naples Park. There is a boat launch and the Naples Rowing Club keeps their boats there. Other park amenities include a community center with meeting room, restrooms, fishing pier, walking trail, tennis courts, lighted basketball court, playground, picnic shelters, outdoor exercise equipment, and open play space. One thing I especially loved was that the tennis court has a box outside where you can open it up and borrow one of their tennis racquets and balls. You would never see that where I live. Private Anthony is an American hero. It is a shame Naples took so long to fix up the park but now that they have it is a place worthy of Private Anthony's honor. I hope that his daughter takes her children and grandchildren here to play.

I went to Donna Fiala water park. Minimal areas to swim. There is a section of fountains that are 3…read morefeet. A lane of a pool where you can be at 5 feet. A space of 12 feet for the diving boards, a lower and higher one. Obviously the higher diving board will create a harder impact going into the water. I got water in ears of mine twice off the diving boards. First time fizzled out, second time needed hydrogen peroxide when I got home. The ladder out of pool isn't so easy to climb. I did try both Water slides. The yellow tubed one was super fast. The blue one was open air and slower. You could feel the grooves where sections of slide were put together on your back when going down the slides. Also, you did not dispense into a pool at bottom of slide but stayed in your lane which made for an abrupt landing and not so easy to get up and out! :) kids under the height requirement could handle the blue slide! :)

You can (and in fact, you're encouraged to) bring your own snacks/drinks, but they also have a small concessions area. We packed a cooler of drinks (la croix and some harder bevvies for the adults in our group), sandwiches, and snacks, and headed to this park for the afternoon. There was a large kids pool that was at most 3 1/2 feet deep, with a bunch of squirting machines and a giant wheel that dumps water. My nephews and niece really enjoyed this one, and it was large enough that there was still room to swim around and have fun. There was also a nice ledge along the back side of the pool (away from the attractions) so you can comfortably sit! There was also a large pool (that was much colder!) with lap lanes, an area to hang/swim, and a high and low diving board. There was always a small line for the diving boards, the kids were having so much fun! On top of all that, there are 2 water slides and an infant pool. The pool areas are well-staffed with lifeguards who were on top of keeping an eye on everything, blowing the whistle to get the attention of people, making sure kids were walking not running, and keeping the area safe. There's also a good blend of chairs in the sun and picnic type tables in the shade. We had a blast here and it's a great place for a family fun day!

WORST place to play pickleball EVER!!! DEFINITELY NOT WELCOMING…read more Very cliquey. Supposed to be open play but same 4 players play over and over. No rotation. You write your name on the board as a single players and you're skipped over as foursomes come off court but won't break up to sign up with you. I waited 45 minutes for a game while 7 courts finished their games and went back on court again and again. The "ambassadors" are absolutely useless in ensuring rotation. Their motto is "come with 4 people if you want to play." Pickleball is supposed to embrace inclusivity and this is anything but.
