Cannery Park, located at 901 Virginia Ave., stands on the exact site where the original community…read morecannery, built by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935, once operated. The WPA helped establish the canning plant in St. Cloud, Florida, where surplus meats, fruits, and vegetables were preserved for local use. The cannery remained in operation throughout the Great Depression before eventually falling into disrepair. In the 1990s, local teacher Mary Lee Powell and her students spearheaded a restoration project to save the historic building. In 2003, the original cannery was relocated to Peghorn Nature Park & Trails, where it has been preserved as a museum. A replica of the original 1930s cannery building was added to the park and serves as a community space available for rentals and includes a kitchen, restrooms, and office space. Today, Cannery Park has been transformed into a modern, inclusive recreational space featuring an ADA-accessible, all-inclusive children's playground, covered picnic pavilions, and park benches. The playground was designed by Landscape Structures, founded by Steve and Barb King, which is known for creating innovative, one-of-a-kind playgrounds across the country, including several in Florida. The playground includes wheelchair-accessible ramps, a Sway Fun Glider, climbing structures, a sensory dome, Braille and clock activity panels, slides, and more. The zipline looked especially fun. This was my first time visiting a Landscape Structures playground, and it is impressive. The thoughtful design goes far beyond traditional playground equipment, creating a space where children of all abilities can play, explore, and have fun together. A little more greenery and landscaping would have been nice but Cannery Park feels like the playground of the future.

It was very informational and neat to see a little piece of history. Once we were done there we got on the Bridge walkway. We did not realize how long the Park Trail was, which is 17 miles! We decided we are going to rent some bikes when it gets a little warmer and try our hand at finishing the path. However, we did walk some of it though, and it was beautiful. I can't wait to explore more of this lovely park that we ran across! So more review to come:)

A awning with picnic tables, a bathroom and two decent sized play areas for children. The playgrounds are covered which is a major plus. There is also soft flooring. One side is targeted towards toddlers while the other is for bigger kids. We really like the small area, great for toddlers. It has a shorter, safer slide, small bridge and a baby swing. The older kid area features more tactical fun with climbing opponents and taller slides. A favorite for bigger children is the zip line as most parks don't feature this.

There are restrooms and several picnic type tables to sit at. The playground area was much larger then I expect it to be. Actually this park in the middle of a neighborhood is much larger than I thought. Has hours posted at 7am until 10pm and since it is dropped smack in the middle of a neighborhood I am sure they adhere to the times. Nice place to check out.

I loved strolling through, snapping photos with the sculptures, and just soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. One standout piece was the shiny, tango dancers' sculpture that instantly reminded me of the famous Bean at Millennium Park in Chicago. I couldn't stop admiring my reflection in it, which made for a really fun and playful experience. We stepped inside the Wave Hotel. The interior is uniquely and beautifully decorated. I felt like walking through a modern art museum. The garden sits under Orlando International airport flight path, so we heard planes passing overhead occasionally. It's just a minor distraction. Most fun activities in Orlando cost money, this sculpture garden is a refreshing exception. We were there in the early morning before weather turned hot. I can only imagine how spectacular it will look once the light projections are up after dark.

The trails wind through trees that would be awesome to climb. There are a few benches, tables and grills around the park. Although near the back of the park, there is what was once a nice fire pit. I still think this would be a neat place for a family an friends social event (party). There is a pavilion, a grill and a lot of open space to have a nice gathering. Ok it's a little hike to the outhouse, but I think it would be a fun time. And although in need of a little repair, it was nice to see the flagpole erected from an Eagle Scout project.

21/100 of 2017 review challenge…read more... I went on a field trip with my son to this park. We have been to the playground area several times but this was a visit to the nature park on property. It was pretty cool until she told us that it was built on top of a landfill! Ewwww. The tour guide prepared an activity for the children and provided lots of history about the park. She also told us about some of the animals that live in the park which included, spiders, raccoons, bobcats and snakes (eeeek) so I quickly decided that this may not have been the trip for me! But that goodness we didn't come across any park residents. The trail was nice to walk on. She pointed out some cypress, palm and oak trees. She also told us about the "alligator booger" water. Gross. They have an education building and an old school house on the property. It's a cute place to visit in St Cloud. They also have a playground with pavilions which would be perfect for birthday parties. In fact I had an awesome play date with a few friends a few years ago. The park was clean but it does not have any electricity or grills. They also have a skate park and BMX track.

Couldn't walk the trail if you tried, though you might have been able to swim it. It's about 40 minutes from my house and the trail is less then a mile anyone. They have an old schoolhouse, a cannery, and a blacksmith building on the premises, so that's pretty cool to see. Once in a while they host pioneer type days, which are fun, but yesterday's was really tiny. Only a couple venders. The blacksmith was there, someone talking about composting, and Shellie's Jellies (best jelly ever! Award winning, great flavors, my fav is the pineapple rum, but all of her jellies are bursting with flavor, except maybe the beauty berry, that one is a bit reserved) The best time of the year to go is Halloween (I'll have to go back and find my pics from last Halloween, insane). Entry is free during the day. Open Mon-Saturday. They have a fright night type of thing Halloween nights, they charge for that If you live close go to see the park often, quiet and relaxing. If you live a little further like me, at least go for Halloween! Oh, yes, the nature trail is now dry, they've cleaned it up, got rid of those horrible pallets, and cut back some of the vegetation so even my 80 year old mom felt comfortable walking through

It's always been, and still is, a lovely and peaceful park. Full of exploration, adventure, joy, with so many opportunities for so many types of events, get together, celebrations, etc. We reserved a multi-family sight and with support from the park staff we were able to use the group camp site that had a nice big bone fire ring, which is where we had our celebration. It's was just isolated enough from the rest of the park we were able to listen to music, talk, and go adventuring around a little bit. We're definitely coming back next year! This is the PERFECT park for a campfire, bone fire, lake swimming, and overnight camping.
