E.Z Rider Tours

At the Lakes Park Enrichment Foundation, we believe that everyone should benefit from the beauty and fun at Lakes Park, which is why we created and are funding the E.Z. Rider Lakes Park Assisted Tour Service! The E.Z. Rider is a six-passenger golf cart available to guests of Lakes Park by advance reservation which transports individuals and families who could not otherwise enjoy the park.

Call for 239-533-7578 to reserve.
The E.Z. Rider is a great experience for the elderly or visitors with medical conditions that limit physical activity and prohibit excessive heat. The tour at Lakes Park can positively impact your elderly loved one by helping them get some fresh air, enjoy the scenery of the Botanic Garden, or bird watch.
While the E.Z. Rider is typically for those who wouldn’t be able to enjoy the span of the park without assistance, reservations are available for all park guests. For more information and to reserve the E.Z. Rider, call 239-533-7578.
