    Reiter Park, hosts a lot of great events and activities in the Longwood area. We stop here several times during the year to meet up with friends and have a blast. We have attended the Independence Day Celebration, the Pirate Seafood Festival, the Food Truck Battle, the Memorial Day Celebration, the Concert in the Park, and several other events I can't remember at the moment; regardless, they are all a blast. My most recent visit was for their Independence Day Celebration on 6/29/24. We arrived around 7:30 pm and were only a few minutes walk from the park, fireworks started around 9:00pm. This year, the City hired SWITCH, one of our favorite local bands to perform several sets for guests while we enjoyed the festivities. Switch always brings their A-game and gets the crowd dancing. The park has a large grassy area that is on a slight slope, so you can see the stage from pretty much anywhere. 10x10 pop up tents, coolers, and chairs are permitted. There are plenty food trucks available if you're hankering for something good. You can also purchase beer and mixed drinks if you're feeling frisky. There are plenty of vendors selling jewelry, artwork, crafts, knick knacks and other odds and ends that keep you occupied while the band is on break. The city does a great job withthis event and there is no expense spared especially on the Police, they have a heavy presence but not in a bad way. On a celebration like Independence Day you just need to CYA. The fire works were amazing just as in years previous. If you ever have an opportunity to go I highly recommended coming for Independence Day since they usually schedule it the weekend or several days before July 4th.

    My first time at this park was pretty fun! I came out for an event to support autism awareness and check out the farmers market. It was so nice to see everyone come out and support a cause. There were Disney princesses I a small parade, and cool cars designed after marvel and DC characters! The park is a pretty nice size and has a covered pavilion area which would be great for events during the summer time! I'll be sure to check this park out more since it's not a far drive from me!

    Great park for the kids to play, you can reserve the pavilions thru the city for party's Well kept and very clean even the bathrooms are always well maintained. If you like walking for exercise or playing basketball this is the place, a full basketball court and tennis court plus a trail that goes around the park to get your exercise for the day. This is an awesome addition to the city of Longwood and the hospital is right next to the park.

    Welcome to Reiter Park!

    Beautiful spacious park. Clean playground with shaded picnic tables. This is located right next to the Longwood Fire Station. There is a basketball court, small walking trail around the park, educational signs you can read about wildlife and exercise stations for your use! My family visited today and it wasn't busy at all (Friday... but first day of Seminole County's spring break). In the back part of the park, there is a large beautiful tree- a great background for photos! There are beautiful flowers here that have been planted where bees and butterflies flourish. Come visit and spend a little time here!

    This new park is absolutely gorgeous and a wonderful place to visit. They have many different events that you should check out on Facebook. They do weekend concerts at the bandshell and recently I attend the pirate seafood festival. If you want to check it out on a regular day, you can take the kids to play on the splash pad or playground. There's also a hill there that they love to run on and roll down. There are no dogs allowed though, just FYI.

    Popped by Big Tree Park this past weekend, and what a nice little park. It is located within the…read moreSpring Hamock Preserve. The park is home to The Senator, a large cypress tree that was 3,500 years old (sadly, it was mostly burned down in a fire), and Lady Liberty, aged 2,000 years (to name a few). While the trees themselves are the lure, the park does have some amenities like a playground, public restrooms, and areas to sit down, eat, and relax. The park has raised walkways, and the canopy of overhead tree coverage creates a cool escape from the Florida sun. Just come prepared with some bug spray - the mosquitoes are at play with all the humidity. Also, they have a handful of plaques throughout the park that provide a brief history of the trees and the park itself. All in all, it was a quick little side quest with a nice little history lesson infused. There is a good amount of parking, and it is truly a quiet and peaceful little park. If you are in the area, it's worth the detour.

The tree was named for State Senator Moses Overstreet, who owned the land around the tree and donated it to the county in 1927 for use as a park. In 1929, President Calvin Coolidge visited the Senator for the park's dedication. The Senator was a popular tourist stop for many years. The Seminole Tribe of Florida used the tall cypress as a landmark, and in the 1800's sightseers paid for buggy rides through the swamp, then hopped a series of logs to make it to the tree. A boardwalk was added to make it easier to access The Senator. Sadly it burned down in 2012 in an arson fire caused by a drug addict. Visitors to the park can see the remains of The Senator along with some informational signage. Big Tree Park is also home to Lady Liberty, a 2,000 year old historic Bald Cypress, and the Phoenix, a genetic clone of The Senator. While the trees are the real draw to the park it also has a cute playground in the center island, which lets kids play inside a replica of a cypress trunk. There is a picnic pavilion and restrooms if you want to bring a lunch. Big Tree Park is a stop on the Cross Seminole Trail used by cyclists and runners.

I decided to get my cardio in and the run was amazing with such a pretty view of the lake , ducks, turtles, flowers and a new heron sculpture. One lap around is a mile so after I hit my 3 miles, I sat on the benches located directly on the lake and truly enjoyed the morning sunshine and breeze. There were tons of people getting their cardio on and of all ages which was very ice and I felt very safe. There is a stage area located near the road where live concerts and events take place Monthly. They have a posting area to see all the upcoming events and even have health walks and seminars coming up. Even though this was a bit of a drive for me, I truly enjoyed getting my run in with a new view and will definitely come back again.

There were families taking a walk while others were fishing or having a picnic. A pair of photographers were out taking pictures of the wildlife in and around the park. The park grounds are kept and well maintained. There are plenty of parking spaces available with multiple access points to the park. On our walk, we came across a food truck that was stationed near the park. Culinary Concepts by Chef Pierre offers a variety of food options from burgers, fish sandwiches to shrimp and ribs. Chef Pierre can be found on Thursdays and Fridays at different locations/apartment complexes. We ordered the Fried Fish, French Fries and Coleslaw combo. We did, however, opted out of the French Fries. The Fish was fried golden brown and was crispy. The Coleslaw was fresh and delicious. Chef Pierre and his staff were friendly and welcoming. We have been searching for new parks to frequent since we recently moved to the area. Crane's Roost Park is definitely at the top of our list and now our go to park. We will also keep a look out for Culinary Concepts by Chef Pierre next time we visit Crane's Roost Park.
