Fort Myers has some problems with homeless people. This is one of the locations where there are lots of homeless hanging out. I believe that they feed the homeless still here certain days. Fort Myers has great protentional. I would like to see the city really concentrate on helping to house all the homeless- If they are not employable create a work program where the city provides the homeless with jobs as grounds maintenance workers throughout the city. (Where they get housing as part of the payment plan) I go to this park often. Sometimes on Saturday night they have a drummers circle which is really cool. The park is worth a stroll- This park has potential for greatness

This is a 10 acre park on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River in Downtown Fort Myers and also a part of the Downtown Historic River District. Our condo is walking distance from here and I am really enjoying it. This is a very well-maintained park with good quality sidewalks. I saw a lot of people walking and a few people running while I was there. As it is next door to the marina and geographically a part of the yacht basin (there is another marina area near High Pointe condos), I saw people from boats/yachts walking their dogs. There are covered shelters that can be rented and a building with public toilets. The interior of the toilet building was beat up but clean. There were people hanging out in the shelter but they weren't bothering anybody. There are piers to walk out on, including one dedicated to a previous mayor. There was a small stone marker near a tree dedicating it to someone. Also, there was a large monument to Page and Buckingham Air Fields that were heavily used for fighter pilot training in World War II. You will also see a large red sculpture near the playground and volleyball areas as well as sculptures near the entrance and fountains. The views from here are excellent. This is a really pretty park and well worth the visit.
