Grand Opening Weekend
October 22-23
The weekend will be filled with exciting events and activities for the entire family... don’t miss out on Florida’s greatest FREE natural attraction. Picture a place, close to downtown Lakeland, yet a place where mother nature's healing powers are revealed through magnificent giant oak trees and a clear gurgling stream that rises out of the earth and flows to Lake Bonnet below. This very special regional park will provide social and economic benefits, help provide that blended urban/natural park, and make the quality of life for future generations of Lakeland better.
