Besides the nature walk through the board walk where we saw LOTS of wildlife (woodpeckers, baby alligators, turtles, ospreys and more) and beautiful cypress trees, you can also rent kayaks. This place is dog friendly. There are even baggies for people to pick up after their pets. I recommend wearing closed shoes if you want to walk the full trail. The board walk ends in a dirt path which loops around, but is not ideal terrain for sandals. However, walking to the end of the boardwalk and back again is just as fun (that's what we did ;) ) The park hours are sunrise to sunset but the board walk opens at 7:30am. Honestly this is a must see.

One is .5 mile up to a high point and the other is a 1.6 loop. No dogs are allowed in the park or in the trails for their safety. Bathrooms are available at the entrance. The playground area is separated into two sections. The sections are age appropriate and super challenging and fun for children. The equipment is clean and has the appearance of being well maintained. The park is not shaded so I don't recommend coming in the middle of the summer. Fall, winter and spring will provide lots of fun.

This place has a good trail system encompassing about two and a half miles with multiple cutbacks and side trails and they've even got a water access for fishing. The scrub forest was fantastic and this park is at a higher elevation than most area around it so the views were pretty cool especially looking down onto Lake Apopka. I loved my experience here, and they've got nice clean bathrooms in the parking lot available for your use.

It was quite nice and a perfect walk with my pup Mocha Coconut with a great view of Lake Minneola. They have a nice free parking lot here also. It's a block away from the downtown area where most shop are on Montrose Ave. it's also a hop, skip and jump away from the new Salt Shack in the Lake which is originally from Tampa. It's a lakeside water view restaurant. Definitely Fall Vibes. There's a walking trial here with benches and it's a great scenic spot Check it out! Definitively a nice spot while in Clermont. We also walked in Montrose Ave., ate at Cosa Nostra, stopped in Montrose St. Market, Clermont Coffee, and lastly left the immediate area and went to the Citrus Tower for holiday lights.

Opened in 2018, ten acre Victory Pointe Park is a storm water treatment pond, community park, and a…read morenative wildlife habitat. At a cost of 9.5 million dollars, the City of Clermont, the Community Solutions Group and Powell Studio Architecture partnered together on a project to create a solution to the pollution in Lake Mineola. They came up with a storm water treatment plan and designed a facility that improves the drainage in downtown Clermont and while cleaning the water entering Lake Minneola, which has been designated as impaired water by the State of Florida. As water hits land it picks up chemicals, pesticides, oil, and sediment before entering Lake Minneola. Victory Pointe is able to filter out these contaminants before the water gets to the lake. After it rains the water drains into swales and planters which provides stage one of treatment. In stage two the water is directed into retention ponds where bio-swales and planters further filter the water. In the last two stages of treatment, water enters an inundated marsh and filter marsh. From there the water enters Lake Minneola. Interpretive signage installed around the park provide education about the storm water treatment system, how it works, and how it helps the environment. The park also includes a 40 foot tower, trails that lead to businesses downtown, a restroom, and a performance area for staging festivals and athletic competitions. During my visit the park was the site of the Light Up Clermont event for the holidays. The part of the event staged in the park was called Holiday Enchanted Forest. Different themed trees were decorated by local businesses and civic organizations and displayed. There was so much creativity. I loved it, especially at night when it was all lit up and holiday music was playing. Next door to the park is Clermont's Historic Village. This is park is not only beautiful to look at but it is also important to the development of downtown businesses by providing a place for storm water to drain away.

It's a block or two away from the Main Street Donnelly. It's also a block away from Lakeside Inn which is the historical inn with Lake Views for days. We go there for the sunset bc they have beach chairs right next to the water. Across the street is also a beautiful house with candy cane lights.

I am also confident that it serves this particular neighborhood well enough. It is a great place to take the dogs out for a walk or just to enjoy a pleasant enough afternoon. This is what pretty much brought me here today. Orlando has some great parks and while this particular park can't compete with say the park at Lake Eola, it was never meant to compete with such a park. This park was designed to utilize some land that could not be otherwise used and give it a purpose and a place for a neighborhood to gather in leisure. I would say that this park succeeded in this task.
