September 16, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

Florida’s Southwest Gulf Coast contains a constellation of enticing coastal gems. Stunning beaches, including Ft. Myers Beach, Tigertail Beach and Pensacola Beach, fringe the Gulf, down the I-75 from Tampa to Naples. Sanibel Island’s shelling attracts thousands. Cape Coral’s waters are paradise for flyfishing. Golfers adore spectacular courses in Marco Island and Naples. Glorious sunny days and deliciously warm turquoise waters beckon in this often overlooked corner of the Sunshine State.

Our grandson loved stopping here. We biked here and also dropped in when driving past. We used it to burn off some energy before the drive home.

Fellowship Park

Reviewed By craigw122 - Cape Coral, United States

We have been attending Cape Christian Fellowship since they used to meet in a school. It totally blew us away when they said they had enough money a few years ago to expand the size of the sanctuary so we could have only one Sunday service instead of three. We also have a service on Friday evenings for those who can't be there on Sunday.BUT, our church leaders decided to build Fellowship Park instead to share this space with EVERYONE in the community. A super great and safe playground, wonderful splash park and a great coffee shop plus other amenities have been provided to share. Also, a huge baptismal outdoor fountain was built to share with other churches in the area. It is beautiful and a testament to Cape Christian's commitment to Love God, Love People.

Riverside Park

Reviewed By CaptTrouble - Hudson, United States

The park is open and we have been walking through it all winter. There is a picnic area and playground with views of the Caloosahatchee; a community center building; and a very long fishing pier that stretches out into the Caloosahatchee. The park is always kept very neat and clean by city workers. The only time there is a problem is the occasional Monday morning when you find beer bottles and trash on the fishing pier. We really like walking through here with all of the blooming plants and the amazing views of Downtown Fort Myers from the fishing pier. There are regular walkers who are in the park in the morning so you are usually not isolated. On Sunday mornings there is a religious service in the community center. The people are friendly but aren't wearing masks, so we just keep our distance. This is a nice place to walk to, but the sidewalk on Palm Beach Boulevard/First Street is only kept clean as far as the Oasis Condos (from the direction of Downtown). If you want to walk further to the east from the park on a main raod, it's kind of rough.

This is a wonderful park, it has 3 different sections for different age groups of children, with the toddler area being fenced for safety. There are also walking paths and outdoor exercise equipment. There are pavilions with picnic tables that can be reserved and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained.
