Our favorite park about the recreation center is the BRAND new playground that was fall of 2017. We absolutely love the new rubber flooring for safer tumbles and falls. They have new climbing equipment for the younger children and more advanced equipment the older children. There is picnic tables for a snack break or lunch in between playtime.
The Bonita Springs library is also on the same street which you can read about here: Bonita Springs Library. A new library is being build in the Old 41 corridor of Downtown Bonita Springs.
Other great outside activities include the tennis courts, baseball fields and the 9 hole disc golf course that wraps around the lake. There is no charge to use the tennis courts or the disc golf course.
