Stumbling upon Cambier Park was accidental. We were in the area to stop by Bonta Bakery on 5th…read moreAvenue for a gelato break. Parked and happened to walk by the park. We got the gelato and came back to the park so my kids could check it out. Cambier Park is located in the heart of Downtown Naples. It's a huge playground with tons of options for the kids. I love that there's a Little Free Library at the entrance of the park too. There's a cute area with English to Spanish translations for some basic words. I love these old wooden style parks because it reminds me of my childhood. But sadly I feel like these types of parks will all be updated with new and modern parks with PLASTIC!!! Interesting choice too considering how hot Florida gets and the plastic gets scorching hot in the sun!!! Hmmmmm. These are older photos and I believe the park is currently approved for new park design renovations with completed date for April 2027. "Naples City Council chose the vendor for a new playground at Cambier Park. The design is described as a Swiss Family Robinson-inspired tree concept".

Go and try the Estero Community Park/Recreation Center to sweat a little for fitness or have a birthday party at one of pavilion or compete at a beach volley ball game or a pickleball game! For facility availability and schedule check with the Estero Recreation Center! BTW, I visit Estero Recreation Center at least twice weekly!

Nice community park with an amazing rec center offering much needed family recreation (SWFL has…read morelimited options accessible to most) and beautiful outdoor facilities. The only thing I do wish, is that all pet owners understood the importance of keeping pups on leash where kiddos play. Especially since there is also a nearby dog park and it's not really fair to other dogs who are leashed and may not know the general attitude of the puppies running freely around the park. This, is not a reflection of Estero community park, however. The human condition after-all, hasn't anything to do with the park itself; more so its one-off visitors whom don't seem to consider their neighbors; I suppose.

I've heard of…read moreSunset Lakes Community Center but I never actually came all the way out here until I enrolled my daughter in a volleyball clinic. This community center has everything you could want for its local community. This development is fairly new, less than 5 years old and already is a great facility to the surrounding area. Been here a month and already I have met parents from Miami Lakes, Pembroke Pines, and Weston who come here specifically for their quality programs and awesome staff/coaches. This community center has all things athletics Volleyball, soccer, indoor/outdoor basketball, weightlifting, aerobics classes, karate, and a senior center full of activities to occupy your time. You need to pay in order to use the gym which technically speaking is just as competitive to pay a regular gym member at LA Fitness. All sports and activities are open to everyone not just Miramar residents. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. Any questions regarding summer camps, sports, or events everyone is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Even the maintenance man takes pride on how clean and how great this facility is. Very much appreciated by everyone.

In fact, it is also a voting precinct with very sociable, respectful ladies with good senses of humor - it is always a treat to check in and vote there. The building is next to the Miramar Police Station for the west side of town on SW 186 Ave., and Fire Station 100 (which fronts SW 184 Ave.), as well as very close (steps) to a church and 2 schools. A small subdivision which is part of Sunset Lakes HOA, consists of townhouses, some with garages, and you can't beat the location next door to the Shoppes of Sunset Lakes - Publix, Wells Fargo, Montessori, 7-11 gas station with carwash, fantastic vet - Dr. Schooley - nail salon, barber shop, dry cleaner, take out Chinese, Matteli's (small but great to have Italian food back in our area), large Sushi place also with very nice outdoor seating, State Farm, judo studio, and sorry cannot remember all the places there! And a fairly new (small) mini park due north of the elementary school on SW 184 Ave.(eventually we will have shade, but not in my lifetime :). NO, I am not a Realtor or agent or employee for the City of Miramar - just a homeowner since early 2001 and hope people will not only take advantage of all the Sunset Lakes Community Center has to offer, but also the general Sunset Lakes Shoppes and all that is special about our area. PS - Super Walmart 2 mi north on SW 184 Ave., and Super Target and Memorial Miramar and GINORMOUS Regional park with many sports activities, Olympic sized pool, just 2 mi east on Miramar Pkwy, etc etc PLUS great entertainment of all kinds at the Regional park. My only wish is that we could donate foodstuffs etc during the year to the Community Center for people who may be in need. Thanks for listening to this "old woman." I believe we still have a Senior Center, but I take care of my husband, who lives at Home Depot and Publix!

We attend the monthly Teen Art Club and it's only $5. So crazy how inexpensive. But something different and fun. Highly recommended. The staff here is very friendly and knowledgeable.

I therefore stumbled upon this place, and came to see it for the artsy, architectural aspect of the building, and it did not disappoint.
