Fred Lee Park

Sports Galore

If you're into sports, Fred Lee Park offers a variety of fields and courts. The lighted baseball and softball fields mean you can keep playing even after the sun starts to set - well-suited for those evening games when Florida's heat has settled down a bit.

Hoop dreams come alive on the lighted basketball courts, while tennis enthusiasts can enjoy a match on the freshly resurfaced lighted tennis courts. Team players haven't been forgotten either - there's a dedicated football field and a soccer field for those group sports moments.

New to the park are the pickleball courts, catching up with the sport's rising popularity. These courts are a recent addition to the park's facilities.

Family Fun Zone

The park's playground gives kiddos a place to burn off energy with slides, swings, and rock climbing equipment on a mulch-covered surface. While children of various ages can enjoy it, the little ones might find it especially appealing.

Hungry after all that play? Scattered throughout the park are picnic areas complete with tables, benches, and grills. Some spots offer views of beautiful mature trees draped with Spanish moss, while others let you keep an eye on the basketball action.

Planning something bigger? The park's four pavilions make great venues for cookouts, birthday celebrations, or family reunions. There are restrooms available too, however it's always smart to bring your own essentials just in case.

Natural Retreat

One of the park's simple pleasures is its mature trees offering blessed shade from Florida's intense sunshine. These natural canopies create peaceful spots across the grounds where you can take a breather.

Keep an eye out for the local wildlife - squirrels and lizards often make appearances, adding a touch of nature to your park experience. The spacious layout means you won't feel crowded, with plenty of well-maintained grassy areas meant for impromptu games or just running around.
