Ponce De Leon Park 3400 Ponce de Leon Parkway, Punta Gorda, FL 33950

"My first time there. As you can see, very nice trails that lead out to a place for fishing. A nice boat ramp as well. Also the Nature Preserve is great learning about rescued animals. Recommended Donations are $10.00.Everyone entering Donated at least that amount."

"This is a historic landmark for Punta Gorda and it breaks my heart to know that in just a few years it will all be developed. Our county does nothing to preserve our beautiful peaceful land, they only want to build, build, build! They are moving the wildlife center, and in its place will be a bunch of entitled old farts living in overpriced ugly buildings. So enjoy this park while you can!!!"

"I laid my husband down to rest. I put his Ashes in the water because Pounce De discovered Punta Gorda, and fountain of youth , so i released his remains to rest in the water. Be young forever so I love this park with all my heart. This was 17 years ago, November 26th. I put him in the water. Thank you. It's a beautiful place to go good fishing, good walking. Good trails everything I just love it beautiful. I Signed my children's name in the sand all three of them cause they were all under the age of ten when this was."

"Ponce de Leon Park is a true gem! This park offers a serene escape with its beautiful natural scenery and tranquil atmosphere. The walking trails are well-maintained, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature. The views of the water are breathtaking, providing a perfect backdrop for relaxation or photography. It's also a great spot for bird watching and enjoying Florida's wildlife. The facilities, including picnic areas and playgrounds, are clean and well-kept, making it an ideal location for family outings. This park is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors in a peaceful and picturesque setting."

"Nice park with fishing, harbor view, boat launch, sandy beach, children’s playground and for the time being a bird rescue. Many historical markers and a nature walk. Only downside is that they don’t allow pets. This is a must see. You can kayak from here and watch the sailboats heading out the channel. Many statues of ponce de Leon and area incudes a restroom. Great place to bike to. Pictures are from the surrounding area."
