    Friendship Park is a big public park located in Oviedo. The play structure is very tall and colorful. There are smaller play structures for the younger children but everyone seemed drawn to the larger and more advanced play area. The entire park is gated and has benches around the play structures. There are several picnic tables and bathrooms available.

    We love Friendship Park in Oviedo. There is a big kids playground and little kids playground, picnic tables, and bathrooms. Keep in mind that parking is at the elementary school next door. - Several different slides, including a tandem one and one that looks like a drop straight down - Four swings (two for babies) and all the squeaky swing noises to go along with them - Astroturf ground is nice! There is also a gate around the playground that keeps kids from running outside - Shady trees and shade structures surround the park to help with the heat Great way to spend a morning or afternoon watching your kids burn off energy.

    We loved this park!!!! So much we have scheduled several play dates here! Love that it's kinda secluded and private. It's gated. Has both little park for ages 2-5. And a bigger one for 6 and up Plenty of benches and sideline space to ride scooters for the kiddos. That was a huge hit for my 6yr old.

    The giant slides. (Courtesy their website)

This beautiful and well maintained park offers an array of recreational amenities. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the basketball, softball, tennis, and racquetball courts along with a soccer on the multipurpose field. As a nature lover I enjoyed the many boardwalks with views of the lake and the sidewalk which meanders through the entire park. It is perfect for walking for exercise and I saw the cutest marsh rabbit as I made my way through the park. There are also two fishing piers. Kids will spend hours playing and on the two imaginative playgrounds. Secret Lake Park is also home to the recently renovated Casselberry Recreation Center which has a main room, ballroom, billiards room, computer room, outdoor deck area, activity room, and outdoor pavilions. The recreation center offers many programs from youth to senior. They include exercise, yoga, Tai Chi, Zumba, and dance classes. The park is also the host of several beloved Casselberry traditions like the HOWL-O-WEEN Dog Walk-a-Thon and Canine Costume Contest, Art & Music in the Park & Food Truck Bazaar, and the Casselberry Easter Egg Hunt. I really enjoyed my visit to Secret Lake Park. It is the perfect outdoor recreation destination for families, fitness seekers, and sports lovers. You can go for peaceful stroll, play basketball, or watch the kids play safely. The scenic lakeside views, comprehensive recreational programs, and variety of amenities add to the charm and versatility of this park.

It is basically Alafaya Trail and the name changes as you ride into Oviedo. Sweetwater Park is not a huge park, but it does have a few pavilions, a basketball court, a few tennis courts and a nice wooden walkway that leads you through a nice little oasis of trees and nature. It would have been nice had the wooden walkway just made a loop, however, this wooden walkway just led me to a sidestreet. Not a big deal, I just turned around and walked the way that I came. Despite its small size, Sweetwater Park is a pleasant place to spend a bit of time. I enjoyed my time walking around here on an early Saturday morning. A bit of a pro tip, this park is not far from a Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream location and it woukd be a great place to stop after working up a sweat shooting some hoops or getting in a few games of tennis. Hey, even if you walk that wooden walkway it might be a good enough reason to treat yourself to some Ice cream.

Basically, a battle of the local rock and roll bands - a variety of different members from different bands come together on two teams for one day with a purpose to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Tickets are only $5, bring a foldup chair, 10x10 tent, a cooler and it's a great time watching all of our friends compete with one another on the field. Torcaso Cove Park is a great place to hold this event. There is a spacious field with plenty of space on the sidelines for fans. There are several parking areas available making parking easy for large events. There was plenty of space for a half-time show with live music right by the field. There were also a BBQ vendor and several other vendors on site selling food, jewelry, and other items. The park has a public restroom, a playground, splash park, sand pits, plenty of paved walking areas, a picnic area with tables, large pavilion, a beautiful bridge that crosses the heart shaped cove, the park has a bunch of Muscovy ducks waddling around and is dog friendly, what else can you ask for. Nancy and I really enjoyed our time at the park, we will definitely be back to bring our dog and take a nice walk. I just have to mention that it was a bit muddy on the field, even on a hot sunny day. So be sure to wear something you don't care about getting dirty.

A focal point of the 14 acre Sam Smith Park is the playground designed by Landscape Structures and installed in 2017. The playground includes an Eclipse Net Plus which is a climbing net and a fun Rush Slide. Little ones will enjoy the Weevos playsystem for safe climbing, sliding, and bouncing. The SkyWays shade keeps kids cool and protects them from the sun. Other park amenities include a restroom, boardwalk, and Sam's Deck donated by the Tuskawilla Pioneer Gardening Club. There are covered picnic pavilions, tables, and grills for a family fathering or a cookout. There is also a 0.7-mile loop trail that goes to the back of the park and around the lake. The coolest thing about this park for me was that I saw so many red-shouldered hawks. They were everywhere, in the trees and on the ground. In Florida, the red-shouldered hawk is perhaps the most commonly seen and heard raptor species outside of black and turkey vultures. They prey on small rodents and one of them had a squirrel. His mate was screaming at him from the tree to bring it for dinner now! Seeing all of those amazing hawks is a memory I will not soon forget.

There are plenty of housing developments around this area and I'm sure that they are all very appreciative of this small park. We need these little parks to help define our communities. We need a place to gather in recreation and relaxation. Well this park is by no means large, it is a good place to come and hang out and escape the stress of the modern world for a while. I would definitely recommend here and I give it five stars.
