Our family recently visited Springhead Park in Lakeland, and it was a bit of a mixed experience. On the positive side, the expansive field provided the perfect space for the kids to run around and fly their kites. The playground was a hit with our youngest, offering a good variety of slides and swings to keep him entertained.
However, our excitement was dampened when we stumbled upon what appeared to be either human or animal "droppings" near the playground. This unexpected encounter left us with a bit of a mess on the kids' shoes [and pants YUCK], which was not ideal. In our search for relief, we were disappointed to find that accessible restrooms were elusive, and we're unsure if this was due to the holiday or a consistent issue. It did take away from the overall convenience of our visit.
Additionally, my father in law pointed out a change in the facilities that was a bit disappointing. The tennis courts are in the process of being converted into pickleball courts. While we understand the need for updates and changes, it would have been helpful to have been informed about this beforehand. read more
