    Lake View
    Vadesha P.

    This is a small but beautiful little park wrapped around a lake. It's perfect for that morning walk or afternoon jog, especially on a nice day. The trail is about a mile around the lake and flat, making it an easy walk. Perfect for the kids to ride bikes or kick a ball around. There is a small event space available, restrooms are fairly clean but has no toilet paper. There are no drinking fountains. There is ample parking available however, they tend to fill up quickly on weekends. On the morning I walked the trail, there were a few doggy classes in progress with the cutest pups! Owners were friendly enough to let us pet them. This park is used a lot for photo shoots as well. We saw someone preparing a "Will You Marry Me?" back drop.

    Pros: it's free and has free parking. It's also a unique walk with the pine trees along the lake it is a great spot for walking and dog friendly. There are bathrooms and a picnic area as well. Cons: If you're walking solo it can feel a bit isolated even when people are there. I'd recommend bringing a friend or general situational awareness but nothing has happened here to me. Also while the pine trees are unique and beautiful the needles can really get caught in my dog's fur so I can't take them as often as I'd like. Overall it's a great place for a nature walk and relaxing.

    I visited again and still think it's a great park. There is a lot of shade along the 1 mile loop walking path. Dogs are allowed in the path. People and dogs are not allowed in the water. There is plenty of parking.

    I love this little park. There's a beautiful lake with a path that you can walk on that circles around the lake. There are also a few separate trails off the main path that are cool to explore. A good portion of the path is shaded which makes the walk around the lake even nicer. The thing I like most is that it's never overly crowded. On a recent visit I saw people picnicking, people lying on a hammock they attached to two trees, people walking and jogging and pet owners with their pups. On a previous visit I even saw some people with their horses in the water! It's a great little place to just go and enjoy the day!

    This is one of my all time favorite parks. It's very dog friendly. You can picnic, lay down or sit under the shade, sightsee the neighbor's cows, walk, jog/run, meditate, and more. There are many trees so it helps keep the park not too hot. The restrooms are clean most of the time I've gone. I love the big lake and wildlife.

    Great views. Nice Sunday nature walk with the family. Plenty of fishing spots. We had hours of fun walking around soaking in nature. Great for small picnics & lunch dates. Bathroom & park is well maintained.

    Such a hidden gem! This trail is about 1.5 miles total ( per my applewatch)--surrounded by beautiful trees that make the whole walk feel peaceful and refreshing. I passed a few other people with their dogs on leashes, which added to the nice community vibe. It's honestly the perfect spot to disconnect and reset. It doesn't even feel like you're in South Florida--. Highly recommend if you're looking for a little nature break.

    Hidden Gem minutes from the hustle and bustle of University Drive. What a pleasant park space to walk and enjoy the outdoors.

    Love this park! Discovered this park while needing to research bugs for my college science program. Such a cool variety of critters if you're interested in looking at them. There is a walking trail around the whole lake, that's about a good 20 minute walk. Sometimes the lake is open to do activities but sometimes it's closed. It's so pretty to just walk around and enjoy the outside. Definitely give it a visit if you like getting fresh air and exploring!

    What a lovely park . I felt like I was in the Pacific Northwest with all the pine trees . This is a great family park . I felt very safe running around the park . The park is about a one mile lap, I went there to run 3 miles and I was easily distracted by the beautiful views of the lake and the horses around . It is common that people ride horses around the park so you will run into horse poop. It's a nice park to brings your dogs as well . They have a few picnic tables as well .

    What a lovely place for a run/walk around a giant lake. Bring your dog, they'll enjoy the trail. Watch out for horse poop!! Lots of horse poop, so much. It almost becomes a game to dodge it at one point. The trail itself is beautiful, say hi to the cows. Lots of joggers taking advantage of the shade path due to the large trees. Free parking, great park!!

    This park is my absolute fav!!! It reminds me of North Florida and is almost like my escape from real life. This park is perfect for a casual stroll, walking big dogs, photoshoots, (my sister even got engaged here!), horse riding, or picnic dates with significant others or just friends. Wolf Lake is actually my go to spot for a picnic, and I've brought countless friends here so they can experience the serenity of the lake and the trees. Only caution: Watch out for horse poop. It's on the trails but easily identifiable. If there's any park or lake to check out in South Florida, it's this one!

    I came here to get a few photo shots of my beautiful wife and I was surprised by how nice it was considering it's location. After doing a quick search to find a nearby park, we zipped into this place which we came to find out was a little hidden gem. The park is beautiful with a nice walking trail, picnic tables, fishing area, a playground, and open fields for recreation. The park is also home to (you guessed it) Wolf Lake, which is a large sparkling lake that I briefly witnessed someone fishing. There were other water-based activities available as well. We got a kick out walking with some of the ducks that weren't too scared when we got close haha. The park seems like it provides a peaceful and natural environment for visitors to enjoy. If we were ever in the area again, I wouldn't mind going back. It's a great option to spend a day outdoors with family and friends.

I enjoy the early morning stroller walks with my granddaughter because during the weekdays there is no charge to enter and park to walk the trails.

There are multiple area for both child play under a covered playground and a covered area for adults to use the manual workout machines. The wide open space is great for horses to get a nice ride and to rinse off at the watering areas. The lakes and streams are filled with wild life that is indigenous to the area. Just taking a walk and listening to the sounds of nature is truly calming.

As a spooky girl, the Banyan tree captured my fancy. It's stood tall and majestic with its hanging vines forming a shelter like structure.

It's easy to follow via the trails app. It's a great place for hikes, long walks or for just taking a break from people. The kids would love it here as well. We walked past a few play grounds and biking trails. I plan on taking the kids back soon for some fun. 10/10 as far as parks are concerned.
