The park is completely surrounded by water providing stunning views and access to water based recreation. The boat ramp is one of the busiest in Martin County and is the closest access to the St. Lucie Inlet. There is a boardwalk that circles the perimeter of the park for fishing, walking, running, and biking. Other park amenities include a playground, outdoor fitness equipment, restrooms, finger piers for fishing, and pavilions available for rental for parties and events as well as personal picnics. This was the first park I have seen with open playground and fitness equipment since the shut down. The proximity to the water makes this a great place to view birds like seagulls, herons, pelicans, crows, and even parrots. During the year the city holds different events here like nights with movies and food trucks. This park is a great example of why I love Martin County. It is the perfect place to put your feet up and just watch the boats sail by. Beauty abounds with access to the waterways and recreational activities. Renew your spirit at Sandsprit.

The park itself is surrounded by water with lots of waterfront walking paths as well as some beautiful tree canopied spots to get out of the Florida sun. There are some outdoor workout equipment as well as bathroom facilities that are clean and tidy. SCW and I were there during the week and parking was easy and it wasn't very crowded.

Only GOD forgives you faster than your DOG! #ReflectDogs…read moreLove & Forgiveness I'm basing the Star level on the comparison to most local dog parks in this area. This park has the nice green Lush Florida grass and it does have a very high fence line around the park unfortunately it doesn't have a bar at the bottom and there are some gaping holes in the bottom of the fence line. Also, you have to park and walk quite a distance to the dog park. It is actually a nice walk, so be sure to grab a poop bag from the poop bag dispenser as your dog will probably get busy before the dog park!! The park itself is actually very basic. It has an old Grocery and then some kind of flat growth tree and it does have a water feature and it does have a picnic table and a few places to set and some shakes. But it just does not seem to be as specifically designed to help the handicap for people with Mobility difficulties as most of the other parks in the area. But that doesn't mean your baby won't enjoy it all the same.

Don't be alarmed when you see bigger dogs in the "30lb area" they are rather submissive/gentle. They have the two areas separated by weight class 30 Under and 30 over.

This is the only dog friendly beach in St. Lucie County. Walton Rocks Beach Park was created so canines can enjoy the beach too and play in the sand and surf. Dogs may be off leash unless they bother someone. I enjoyed meeting Duncan on the beach who was having the time of his life along with his other canine friends. This park also has free parking, a restroom and picnic pavilion but it is not lifeguarded. Walton Rocks Beach is also an area of archeological importance. More than 1,200 fossils including prehistoric horse teeth dating to 12,000 years ago and older have been found along the shores of this beach. Whether you are here to hunt fossils or just enjoy a day out with your best four legged friend, Walton Rocks Beach natural beauty, soft sand, and gentle waves is sure to delight.

From 2007 to 2012, Port St. Lucie leased the property that is now Winterlakes Park to the St. Lucie…read moreSchool District for the purpose of constructing a temporary school site. The District paid to prepare the land for construction and built the playground. In 2012, the School District allowed the lease agreement to expire and the Port St. Lucie Parks and Recreation Department assumed maintenance responsibilities for the 28 acre property. After holding meetings with the public the city decided to turn the land into a park. Winterlakes Park opened on January 23, 2021 becoming the largest park in Port St. Lucie. Today Winterlakes Park is a well designed park with many popular recreational amenities for residents and visitors of the Winterlakes neighborhood and the Torino area. During my visit I was impressed by how much this park has to offer. There is a baseball field, covered basketball court, dog park with sections for small and large dogs, a paved exercise walkway with fitness stations, picnic pavilions with tables, pickleball court, shade covered playground, soccer field, softball field, tennis court, sand volleyball court, fishing deck on the lake, and restrooms. All of the facilities in the park are meticulously maintained and the park still looks brand new. As I walked the park on the exercise trail I noticed a summer camp using the playground, pups playing in the dog park, and a large number of people enjoying the shaded basketball court. There is so much to do in this park, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy.

Located at the end of Winterlakes Park, a new community park in northern Port St. Lucie, FL. Lots of parking very close to the dog park areas, so you don't have to wander through the whole community park to find the dog area. Fences are high, and the gate lock is also high, so small children cannot get in and out at will. The parks have seating areas for pet owners, and some are under cover, so that's nice when there's a lot of sunshine. The parks seem well well-maintained and are not crowded, possibly because there isn't a lot of publicity about them yet.

We come here from time to time and its a great place to come and let your little furry ones stretch their legs and give you time to also do the same.

Definitely a great park for dogs and right to it there is a playground and also to do other activities. Def a gem in the Torino area! Thanks City of PSL

With the one for the small be in the biggest of the three?

They have a couple benches and a nice shaded picnic table area for seating. They have a nice water feature as well as poop bag dispensers and trash cans. I'm still working on the fact that the largest of the three Parks is the one for the small dogs? There is a large parking lot right next to the dog parks

At the back of the loop is a hiking trail that leads you through mangroves to the intracoastal waterway which runs between the park and the Hobe Sound Wildlife Refuge. The walk is about 15 minutes each way. Part of the path is gravel and part of it is an elevated wooden boardwalk that takes you over the wetlands. The 1/2 mile trail takes you through mesic flat woods, hard woods, mangrove swamps., and brackish slough. You cross over a spoil island that was created from the dredging of the intracoastal. There are interpretive signs along the way providing information on the Ais who were the Native people in this area thousands of years ago, and the plants and animals in the park. The park is a good place to spot birds during the spring and fall migration. You can find American Redstarts and Common Yellowthroats and Spotted Sandpipers along the shore in the winter.
