Candyland Park is located in one of Longwood's older residential areas. The land was part of John Neill Searcy's original homestead grant. He also donated the land for the nearby Longwood Memorial Gardens Cemetery which abuts the park and it is where he was laid to rest. Candyland Park was named as a companion park to Longwood's former Peppermint Park. Candyland Park came to be in the early 70's as a place for a second set of baseball fields and tennis courts for the growing suburb. The Skylark subdivision was platted in 1972 and it began construction in 1973, north of the Longdale neighborhood. The City of Longwood required that five percent of the land be set aside for recreation. Candyland was chosen as the name because it went went with the already named Peppermint Park. Peppermint Park was closed and dismantled when the city built a new police station in 1985. Today Candyland Park is a 17.5-acre community park with a variety of sports and recreational amenities. There is a softball field, two minor league Babe Ruth baseball fields, a full-size Babe Ruth Baseball field, t-ball field, two practice fields, one tennis court, six pickleball courts, two full basketball courts, a futsal court, modular skate park, a BMX/Skate Pump Track, two picnic pavilions, picnic tables, and grill, and a playground. There are also bleachers, and a restroom and concession stand building. Candyland Park is a hub to bring the community together for skating, playing sports, and outdoor recreation.

So it's hard to understand what you're paying the premium for here. The personal training situation made things even worse. My trainer Jose left Genesis. When he originally went over the contract with me, he never explained that the PT agreement would continue and simply be moved to another trainer. Once Jose left, I had no interest in continuing with someone else and I had communicated that on text on May 27th. I still ended up being charged month after month until I finally noticed it and contacted Genesis in September. Genesis eventually cancelled the PT agreement going forward, but refused to refund the previous charges. I also had unused PT credits and asked if I could use them for pickleball training with Marc, who I've actually been training with for more than a year. It seemed like a pretty simple solution: I have credits with Genesis, I want to use them with a Genesis trainer I already know and have trained with. Wayne answer was that they can't transfer credits between departments. So apparently the money can be collected by Genesis, the credits can sit in my Genesis account, and I can use them with another Genesis trainer... but moving those credits to another Genesis department is somehow impossible. Wayne then offered to have me use the remaining PT sessions with another trainer, including someone who specializes in pickleball, but they still wouldn't transfer the credits to pickleball. After 8+ years as a member, this is pretty disappointing. At these prices, there are plenty of better options in Orlando.

I highly recommend this group, and it will now be my go to for all my pickleball needs.

Court time is always free as long as you have the membership. We have never had issues getting a court yet, as there are many options available (mostly clay courts but also hard court and pickleball). The staff is friendly, the locker rooms and the rest of the premises are extremely clean. The only downside is that you cannot bring more than 6 balls or a hopper for practice. I feel like they have this rule so you will pay for their ball machine which is $15/pp/1 hour. Regardless, I am glad we joined and we no longer have to drive to random public courts crossing our fingers we get lucky!

The guy working the register right by the door gave us the brush off as well. This shift was manned by incompetent ignorant pompous clowns.

The service at this particular Academy Sports & Outdoors location is friendly and professional. I found everyone there to be great. I was also impressed with the selection and the prices there. Academy Sports & Outdoors is a great overall place for basically anything you need concerning spending time in the great outdoors or playing your favorite sport.
