Oh, Park Pals…read more. This is the best in Clermont, hands down. We've had people from 20 miles away come to birthday parties we've thrown here and then will come back on their own, hitting us up to come play with them again. The playground is by far the biggest afound, stretching for a long ways. The balance beam & more feature that allows kids to basically circumnavigate most of it without touching the ground is really cool. Slides, swings, seesaws, and spinny stuff galore! And tons of room to toss a Frisbee or football all over. The small nature hike out to the dock and water is very well maintained. There are fiends for soccer and baseball too. Lots of stuff! Lovely Pavillion for hosting a party as well!

The trail had some hills but mostly flat. Luckily there was plenty of shade along the way. They have a station where bike riders can work on their bikes and if they need to put some air in the tires it has an air pump. Next time I am bringing my bike. Came across plenty of friendly riders sharing the trail.

We walked out to the pier and saw the most beautiful sunset over the water. It was a little windy the afternoon we went so the fire flies were not out at the pier.

I had a group meet up here for a fun time of food and games. This was my first time at this park…read moreand overall a good experience. Apparently, the pavilions are first come first served. A sweetheart from the group arrived at 6 am and was able to secure a nice pavilion on the lakeside, adjacent to the restrooms and across from plenty of parking. The pavilion come with a grill (we didn't use) and a large trash bin nearby. The area had a few trees around and was nicely shaded, this made the combination of good weather result in a really good experience. There is a nice trail for walking, hiking and cycling. Near the parking, there is a play area for children and a fenced dog park area. Overall, I thought I had a good experience and think that it is a fabulous area. I do hope to get back out here at some point in the future.

Lake Hiawatha Preserve Park - Frisbee Golf (Disc Golf Course)…read more Finally, a legit 18-hole disc golf course near Clermont, Florida. It's also a great place to bring your dogs! They have a nice fenced in area to let your dogs mingle and play with other dogs off the leash and there's a trail and some back country you can take them and run with. The good: - Solid mix of wooded technical holes and a few open bombers around the lake. Holes 4-8 along the water are gorgeous, especially at sunset. - Tee pads are concrete and in great shape (huge upgrade from the old rubber mats). - New Mach X baskets catch well and the bright yellow bands make them easy to spot. - Multiple pin positions on several holes keep it fresh -- they move them every few months. - Free parking, clean porta-potty near hole 1, and the course flows really well. Rarely any backups even on weekends. The "eh": - Can get soggy after rain (bring boots in spring). A couple fairways hold water like a sponge. - Hole 13's long position is a total prayer across the marsh -- fun once, frustrating the other 19 times. Highly recommend for intermediate and up. Beginners might get humbled on the back 9, but that's how we all learn! Will keep coming back. 4.5 stars rounded down only because mother nature still wins sometimes.

The Lake Minneola Scenic Trail is also called the South Lake Trail. It is a paved 13 miles stretch…read morethat many people use to bike, walk and skate. It is also wheelchair friendly. We picked up the trail at the Killarney Station and rode through to Minneola Trailhead Park. The views are beautiful and we appreciated all of the areas with trees that helped keep the heat bearable in the afternoon. There are a lot of sections that intersect with the roadway so you have to stay alert and possibly not have very young children lead the way. There were lots of people on the trail when we visited and everyone seemed to be mindful of each other.

My grandson had lots of fun maneuvering up, down and side to side within the structure. The main area has a couple of slides and other options for play. There is a row of swings for both infant and older children.
