They have a Summer camp for kids 14 and under.

I love that they have bathrooms on site and are actually clean lol-- so big plus there! Also I appreciated that the play ground had this squishy bouncy floor that is great for kids running or babies playing-- I believe it helps to prevent injury. This really is a great park! My two cons: the huge lack of shaded areas, and they had a few water fountains but the water was hot and dirty/cloudy looking. And bring in Florida, shade and water are two of the most important things in my opinion lol-- so just be prepared.

There is also a Skate Park next to the soccer fields. 2 parking lots, paved paths, and a small fenced drainage area where you can occasionally see ducks and alligators.

The park is always…read moresuper clean and well maintained, and it's one of the better parks around Orlando for both families and adults. There's a huge playground, splash pad, walking paths, sports courts, skate park, dog park, and plenty of open space to just relax. What I like most is that it never feels overly crowded or chaotic even when there are a lot of people there. It has a really laid back atmosphere and there's something for everyone whether you're bringing kids, skating, walking your dog, or just trying to get outside for a bit. The shaded areas and lake views make it even better, especially during sunset. Definitely one of the best public parks in Orlando and a spot I'll keep coming back to

Cady Way Park is a park with a lot going on, but I'm here strictly for pickleball--and from a…read morepickleball player's perspective, this place is very well organized. There are 8 pickleball courts total, and they're divided by skill level, which makes a huge difference in play quality: First 3 courts (far left): Beginner courts Middle 3 courts: Intermediate play Last 2 courts (far right): Challenge courts The challenge courts run winner-stays-on, so it's always 2 on / 2 off. If you plan on playing there, you'll want to be around a 3.75 DUPR or higher to really enjoy it--and I highly recommend bringing a partner. The competition is legit, fast-paced, and not very forgiving for casual drop-ins. There's also 1 tennis court, and all the pickleball courts have lights, which makes evening play possible and popular. Timing matters a lot here: Best weekday time: around 4:00 PM By 6:30 PM, it can get extremely busy--sometimes to the point where wait times are so long that you won't get much actual play in. Overall, if you're serious about pickleball and want structured, competitive games, Cady Way is a great spot. Just know your skill level, pick the right courts, and time your visit wisely.

Such a scenic little park that seems very well maintained and super walkable. With the fountains, sports fields and courts, open plots for pets and green space, this park really has it all. We were walking around this park for about an hour just taking it all in while we were doing puzzles and I have to say that the park was better than the escape room. If me and my friend had just come to the park without the escape room, we would've liked it just as much. It was great to check this park out and next time I am in town, I will definitely hang out here again.

The park is long and narrow, well utilizing the limited space it was given. It runs besides high voltage lines and on the other side is residential housing. On this visit, I will say that the park was relatively clean and appeared well maintained. The dog park was temporarily closed on this visit due to health concerns with the COVID-19 virus. The dog park appeared like it would be nice, with two areas, one for large dogs and one for small dogs. The only drawback was that it only had a porta-potty on the property. I am confident that this park serves this community well and again, I was impressed with how the design well used the space that it was given. If you are in the area, I would recommend a visit.
