Bonnet Springs Park

"I was very impressed. There are playgrounds scattered along paved walking paths throughout 180 acres. There's a coffee house (Starbucks with bright natural light but very cozy seating in round, nook exclaves along the wall), a place to grab a beer at a rooftop bar near playgrounds, tree houses, boardwalks, as well as air conditioned nature centers, etc. There are splash pads and grassy hills with climbing knobs and slides built-in, as well as a shallow little brooke with clear water and a sandy bottom that runs into a lake. There is no admission fee. One one side of the property (near the third parking lot) is a Children's museum, and on the other side, (near the first parking lot) is the coffee shop, where there is also a merchandise area that sells t-shirts and water bottles and on the top floor there is a museum. There are several areas with three or four single-occupant restrooms, and those areas also have vending machines for drinks."

"AMAZING PARK! Great for everything you can think of: take kids to the park, family outings, picnics, walks, and more. One of the cleanest parks I think we have visited in Florida. Golf cart rides if you need them, plus playgrounds for all ages."

"Our family had a great time visiting Bonnet Springs. There is so much to see and do here, we didn't even make it through the whole park. We happened to be here on a day they were doing a stem event and the kids enjoyed building with the marshmallows. Next time we will bring the kids scooters so they can enjoy the trails. Definitely a fun spot for the whole family!!"

"I honestly don’t understand how this place is free. Gold carts constantly roam the property to help people get from one place to another. They sell Starbucks coffee but that’s about it in the cafe. Not the full Starbucks menu and you cannot pay with the app. The children’s museum backs up to this property and there is a cafe in there with reasonably priced food like burgers or chicken tenders but they do not have a huge selection either. You can bring any food you want onto the property. Lots of people were using scooters or rollerblades. Lots of dogs must be on a leash. Dogs are not allowed in any of the buildings on property. Bathrooms are located in each building. There is on large inclined path but most are flat. Several play areas throughout the park to stop at. Almost no shade anywhere in this park."

"One of the best park around the Lakeland and the new renovation has made it more attractive. There are a lot of fun stuff for kids as seesaw, slides, rounding up, etc. The tree house is very fantastic and a lot of resting houses for stopping by or suitable for parties. Very nice hiking trails and there is pick-up service to give you ride around the park."
