Punta Gorda Nature Park 1555 Aqui Esta Drive, Punta Gorda, FL 33950

"Nature park is a nice small park with beautiful palms and some wildlife. We saw birds, rabbits, etc. It was a little confusing since we parked at one entrance and the middle path could have provided better guidance on where to exit. Was a little confusing as compared to other parks. I would still recommend the relaxing walk to enjoy the plants and animals."

"We went here a few years ago and it was absolutely beautiful. This time was a different experience. The plants are still pretty that are located near the parking areas. However not only are most of the trails flooded and not pretty, the area is unsafe.. especially if you have a dog or child. Not only did we encounter many flooded areas with very smelly water, we encountered rusty nails, bridges with gaps big enough for a small dogs feet to fall through (look like poor repairs), bridges that can cause someone to trip, part of the trail borders scattered all over the place, tree limbs hanging down about to fall on trail, and more! I think hurricane Ian over a year ago probably hit it hard. However the clean up on the trails has been very slow. I think they should close the trails until they can make them safer. The gardens by the parking lots are beautiful and well kept as well as the picnic areas. Also be aware there are no bathrooms. I took many pics. It's sad to see this once beautiful place in this shape. The one star is because there were poinsettia plants and berries scattered around a dog friendly park, there were rusty nails on the trail, and my dog almost hurt herself badly on the bridge with the gaps. So they one store was for safety reasons. Also the flood waters made mosquitoes HORRIBLE even at 4pm. I will change my review when safety things are addressed."

"Gorgeous flower gardens and trails that real a lot of nature if you.know what to look for. Serene and peaceful in the middle of city. A must visit for those who love the outdoors."

"Clean. Pretty but small. Enjoyed lunch there at a picnic table."

"This was a pretty little park with trails and picnic tables and volunteer workers there beautifying the place. It was a place of comfort on a very trying day for our family as we were trying to give my sister's beloved pet beauty before he went over the rainbow Bridge. For us, it was everything."
