    Sylvan Lake Park is one of my favorite parks to visit. It has big beautiful trees and lots of space to get lost in. If getting lost isn't your thing the park has tons of amenities. There are tennis courts, soccer fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, exercise area and fishing. They are open Monday through Friday from 8am to 10 pm...Saturday and Sunday 8am to 8pm.

    Beautiful soccer fields and clean bathroom premises. I came here for a showcase soccer event for a family friend. Parking can be a hike so leave those Jimmy Choos at home. Walking areas can be muddy so be prepared. Bleachers to sit are exposed so bring something to sit on, and a hat if necessary.

    Some very serious soccer Most of the world calls it football but here in the states we already have a cool sport named football so we call it soccer. Doesn't matter what you call it, here at Sylvan lake Park they take it very, very seriously. The park has six professional soccer fields and invites some of the best teams and players from around the world to kick around a funny shaped ball. Olympic and international teams have played here as well as well as a plethora of Olympic hopefuls. It seems somebody or lots of somebodies very good at the game of soccer are on one of the fields doing remarkable things with their feet. Even though the park is known for it's high level soccer, it is actually a 126 acre facility bordering the 188 acre Lake Sylvan. It also has six very well maintained tennis courts, sand volleyball pits, American football fields, and racquetball courts. Lots of programs and classes are held including some very cool outside weightlifting for women while we were there. Of course since the beautiful lake is sitting right next to the park boat ramps give access to some wonderful fishing and boating activities and there are plenty of trials and path for jogging, hiking or just walking around. For the less active souls, pavilions and shady spots are great places for picnics or just hanging around. I'm actually shocked that this park has not been reviewed before since it is something very, very special. A great example of space being utilized to get people active or at the very least outside watching other people be active.

    We look forward to our future seasons of soccer here and taking a nice walk around the park for a nice stroll.

    Secret Lake Park is one of our favorite parks in Casselberry. My twins always have fun. The…read moreplaygrounds are spacious and fun. They have separate play areas for older and younger kids. The walking trail around the lake is perfect for walks and watching the sunset. Perfect place for a picnic with family.

    Secret Lake Park gets its name from the fact that is between Secret Lake, Triplet Lake, and North…read moreLake Triplet. Also nearby are Middle Lake and Lost Lake. This beautiful and well maintained park offers an array of recreational amenities. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the basketball, softball, tennis, and racquetball courts along with a soccer on the multipurpose field. As a nature lover I enjoyed the many boardwalks with views of the lake and the sidewalk which meanders through the entire park. It is perfect for walking for exercise and I saw the cutest marsh rabbit as I made my way through the park. There are also two fishing piers. Kids will spend hours playing and on the two imaginative playgrounds. Secret Lake Park is also home to the recently renovated Casselberry Recreation Center which has a main room, ballroom, billiards room, computer room, outdoor deck area, activity room, and outdoor pavilions. The recreation center offers many programs from youth to senior. They include exercise, yoga, Tai Chi, Zumba, and dance classes. The park is also the host of several beloved Casselberry traditions like the HOWL-O-WEEN Dog Walk-a-Thon and Canine Costume Contest, Art & Music in the Park & Food Truck Bazaar, and the Casselberry Easter Egg Hunt. I really enjoyed my visit to Secret Lake Park. It is the perfect outdoor recreation destination for families, fitness seekers, and sports lovers. You can go for peaceful stroll, play basketball, or watch the kids play safely. The scenic lakeside views, comprehensive recreational programs, and variety of amenities add to the charm and versatility of this park.

    Our friends have their Rock Super Bowl at this park each year, they have been holding this event…read moreannually so it's their Rock Super Bowl IX. We had a blast! Basically, a battle of the local rock and roll bands - a variety of different members from different bands come together on two teams for one day with a purpose to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Tickets are only $5, bring a foldup chair, 10x10 tent, a cooler and it's a great time watching all of our friends compete with one another on the field. Torcaso Cove Park is a great place to hold this event. There is a spacious field with plenty of space on the sidelines for fans. There are several parking areas available making parking easy for large events. There was plenty of space for a half-time show with live music right by the field. There were also a BBQ vendor and several other vendors on site selling food, jewelry, and other items. The park has a public restroom, a playground, splash park, sand pits, plenty of paved walking areas, a picnic area with tables, large pavilion, a beautiful bridge that crosses the heart shaped cove, the park has a bunch of Muscovy ducks waddling around and is dog friendly, what else can you ask for. Nancy and I really enjoyed our time at the park, we will definitely be back to bring our dog and take a nice walk. I just have to mention that it was a bit muddy on the field, even on a hot sunny day. So be sure to wear something you don't care about getting dirty.

    Love this park! It's the cleanest I've been to in winter springs. During the week it's not crowded…read moreat all. There's 2 parking lots. The splash pad is great and gated in. There's restrooms and a little bridge to walk plus a smaller walking trail. There's plenty of places to eat at if you bring food.

    I found Gemini Springs Park in DeBary on Google Maps for a discover a new park day, so stopped in…read more It's huge, with 212 acres and 2 springs! You can hike the trails, kayak on the St. John's River, or fish in Lake Monroe or off the pier. Plenty of parking, picnic tables, BBQ grills, and a cool playground for the kids. Even dogs have their own park! Plus, there are primitive camping sites available. It felt super clean and safe, and parking was easy.

    Gemini Springs Park is located in DeBary, Florida, 25 miles north of Orlando…read more Since you can no longer swim here due to high concentrations of bacteria in the waters, visitor attendance can be quite low. And since there's alternative parks situated throughout Central Florida that are swimmable, not many people will make the effort to experience Gemini Springs. In fact, I'd categorize this place as a local town park more than anything. It's free to visit and hours are sunrise to sunset. There were no names or signs for the hiking trails, so at times it felt like I was wandering aimlessly. But, the trees decorated with Spanish Moss exuded southern charm and most corners I turned felt like strolling along a nature trail. There's a dual sided passageway that acts as the centerpiece to the park and is also a dam spillway which (I believe) separates the DeBary Creek waters and the Gemini Springs area. I did spot a gator which almost caught a fish right in front of my eyes. I also noticed a soft shell turtle who appeared to be laying her eggs in the sand and some birds doing fishing of their own. Gemini Springs has picnic pavilions, a playground, a dog park, a fishing pier, plenty of grass to play around, and even camping is permitted here. Lastly, I'd like to highlight a section of the park that turns colorfully vibrant when the sun is shining... - Follow the concrete walkway (which you can't miss). - Then...you'll approach a tucked away corner of the springs. This area can be a rewarding moment for admiring the great outdoors. If you just pause and absorb the surroundings, nature's beauty shines through. It's a refreshing reminder that just because a park isn't as accessible as it once was, doesn't mean it should go unnoticed. I believe Gemini Springs Park can be a worthwhile half day visit.
