“We visited for the first time for the annual Fishing derby put on by the Kiwanis club. Very nice park- playground has a cover to keep the sun off. The lake was beautiful and all the kids had fun fishing!”

“Hope Park is a hidden gem that I discovered recently in North Port. This 1.9 acre neighborhood park located on Lombra Ave is a great spot for family gatherings or just a fun day out with the kids. The park offers a playground for the little ones, as well as a large open green space for playing games or picnicking. The pavilion with picnic tables and a grill is also available to visitors, making it a perfect spot for a family barbecue or picnic. I was impressed by how well maintained the park is. The grass is kept short and neat, the playground equipment is in excellent condition, and there's rarely any trash or litter lying around. Additionally, the park is usually not too busy, which is a nice change of pace from some of the more crowded parks in the area. One thing that really sets Hope Park apart is its peaceful and quiet atmosphere. It's a great place to relax and unwind, and the lack of crowds really makes it feel like a hidden oasis. Whether you're looking for a spot to have a family picnic or just a nice place to spend a lazy afternoon, Hope Park is definitely worth a visit. Overall, I highly recommend Hope Park. It's a well-maintained, peaceful, and quiet neighborhood park with plenty of amenities to enjoy.”

“There are a myriad of mixed reviews on this place which originally made me not want to go, but I did end up really happy that I did. It is expensive, but I personally did think the health benefits, relaxation, and experience was worth it. However, I can definitely understand how it isn’t for everyone. Firstly, it is true that the facilities are run down. There used to be a cafe and gift shop that are currently closed. Currently there is the admission area and the restrooms and that is it. So when you go there are no inside space it is only the spring and then the grassy area around the spring. The chairs and loungers are dated as well and most do have broken slats, that being said, the area is perfectly serviceable. Parking is super easy and free, restrooms are okay and you can always find a chair to grab or space to sit for relaxing, reading, or sunbathing. Second, the spring itself. It DOES smell like rotten eggs-it is SUPPOSED to smell. This is a mineral spring and this one contains the most mineral content of any mineral springs in the US. It contains sulfur which, naturally, smells bad but also gives it the majority of the health benefits that the spring does have. It also does have algae around the edges of the spring that does get stirred up the more people are in the spring. So by the middle of the day there is a lot of algae in the center and a lot of dirt kick up. If you want it to be less dirty, go as soon as the springs open and leave early afternoon. In the morning, most of the algae is on the sides of the pool instead of floating around and the water is clearer. The water itself isn’t really dirty-it just isn’t the crystal clear water that is characteristic of other Florida springs and the minerals probably cloud the water. Definitely not the best place to snorkel. As for the temperature, it is warmer than the other springs in Florida, but it’s not a hot tub-warm not hot-meaning it’s going to feel a bit cold getting in but you aren’t going to freeze. Its comfortable enough once you are in to stay a couple hours. Third, the health benefits. Here is what I noticed: -immediate skin benefits, acne/dermatitis/eczema relief and intermediate skin purge (under the skin pimples may come to the surface of the skin) -pain relief- for about 6-8 hours after exiting springs muscle and joint pains completely vanished for this time but comes back after the time period. After one soak the benefits seem temporary but for those with chronic pain it is so nice to have a day without the normal pain. -body detox-mostly just know that you may need to be near a restroom a lot for 2-3 days afterwards 😆 Overall, I do think this spring is worth it for the health benefits, but you have to remember it’s a natural spring/sinkhole with an ecosystem of fish and algae and NOT a luxury spa. There’s grass and dirt and therefore ants and bugs and small lizards. It smells, and you are going to smell like sulfur for about 48 hours. Bring your own towel, lots of water, and some snacks. You will be hungry and thirsty after! From research on mineral springs do two sessions about 45min-1 hour in the water with a break in between and wait a couple hours before showering.”

“I was a vendor at the Community Yard Sale held on 9/16/23. The event was well organized, and there were quite a few helpful Parks & Rec representatives to assist people in finding their spots and getting set up. As a previous vendor, I feel that this event was better organized. My only critiques are that a) one of the vendors who was on the standby list and was eagerly awaiting a call from P&R (even if it was at 8am) would have loved to occupy the empty space right across from me, and b) one hour is barely sufficient time for booth setup and display arrangements. It left me feeling pressured and stressed until I finally got my wares displayed. I think 1½ hours is a better time frame to allow people to set up their tables and display their products.”

“Nice place to get some exercise. There is good signage at all the forks in the road and even along the trails so it is easy to navigate. The city of North Port deserves a lot of credit for that. The creek was mostly dry in March so there wasn’t much to see there. I thought the white trail had the best canopy for viewing nature so be sure to take that detour off of the yellow trail.”
