Located at 12335 County Road 448 just on the shores of Lake Idamere sits a boundless playground and dog park. The 43-acre lakeside park was officially opened in December 2006.
I only discovered this park during the summer of 2007 when a friend set up a play date for our children. I have to say I was impressed the first time I went and we have been back often. Last year when we first went there was an issue that the only restroom facilities were port-a-potties. I am happy to report I discovered restroom facilities had been added when we visited recently.
The park equipment is on a rubber foundation and the equipment is constructed to allow children of all abilities to play. The playground sits under a canopy of trees so the slides are kept cool. There are also several misting stations where the kids can cool off.
In addition to playground equipment there are picnic pavilions, biking and walking trails, a pier, and a dog park.
The dog park is 50,000 square feet divided into three areas; one for large dogs, one for smaller dogs and one for an obstacle course. The ground is sand. The dog park is fenced with benches, water stations, disposable bags, night lighting, and trash cans. The restroom facilities are across the parking lot at the playground area.
The Children's Foundation of Lake County, a major contributor to the park, continues to collect donations to add additional features to the park.
