Girl Scout Friendship Park

Park Overview

Nestled in Port St. Lucie, Florida, Girl Scout Friendship Park spans a comfortable 8.4 acres of gated community space. Since opening its gates in 1992, this local park has been a go-to spot for locals seeking both casual recreation and organized sports activities.

The park's secure, gated design makes it a reassuring choice for families, while its generous layout gives everyone room to spread out and enjoy their own slice of outdoor fun.

Recreational Facilities

Sports enthusiasts will feel right at home here. The park features a baseball and softball field complete with stadium-style seating where you can cheer on local teams or practice your own skills.

Don't worry about wild pitches - protective fencing keeps spectators safe from fly balls. Interestingly, the park has become something of a hotspot for cricket fans, with a dedicated field that draws players from around the area.

There's also a batting cage where you can perfect your swing before heading out to the diamond. If organized sports aren't your thing, the open green spaces offer plenty of room for a casual jog, morning walk, or impromptu game of catch.

These versatile areas are ideal for getting some exercise while enjoying Florida's sunshine.

Children's Area

Little ones have their own special corner of the park in a fenced playground area designed with safety in mind. Kids particularly love the three-slide setup, featuring small, medium, and (the crowd favorite) a large slide with an exciting loop.

The playground doesn't stop there - swing sets accommodate both bigger kids and toddlers, and a jungle gym offers climbing adventures for the more adventurous youngsters. You can easily keep an eye on the kids from nearby benches while they burn off energy and make new friends.

Picnic Amenities

When hunger strikes, head to the covered pavilion where multiple picnic tables await, sheltered from both sudden Florida showers and intense sunshine. Planning a cookout? The park's grilling facilities make it easy to turn an ordinary afternoon into a proper outdoor feast.

This setup works beautifully for everything from intimate family gatherings to larger community get-togethers.

Facilities

Practical needs haven't been overlooked here. The park features separate male and female restrooms that are kept in good condition. If you're getting thirsty after all that play, you'll come across a water fountain located outside the restrooms, on the opposite side from the playground.

As for parking, there's a small lot available, with extra spaces along the park's perimeter for those busier weekend days when it seems like the whole neighborhood has come out to play.

Hours of Operation

The park welcomes visitors daily from 7 AM to 7 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to enjoy all it has to offer.
