E.Z Rider Tours

**not operating at this time**

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.

-Lakes Park Staff
Ways you can help lakes park:
Donate, donate, donate!  While structures are covered by insurance, plants, trees and small structures are not and so the LPEF will be helping to purchase and replace the many trees and plants that are gone.

We all want and need to get back to our park but remember how important this operation is and the thousands of our neighbors who suffered great loss.
Let us know how you are and if you need help.
Please don’t go to the park you will be turned away by security. 
Limit calls to the park as the staff won’t be able to return your call in a timely manner. Refer to the Lee County Website for updates.

Community Garden Update

Unfortunately, the Community Garden is currently closed to all gardeners until the park reopens to the public which we hope will be sometime in January. AS you know, FEMA trucks and equipment are still staged at Lakes Park. Connie and Randy Speck, with some help from Robyn Zimmerman have worked hard to have the Community Garden ready for the gardeners to arrive. All three of the sheds were torn apart and parts were blown outside of the fence. They are now back together and holding gardening equipment. Fortunately none of the beds were damaged during the storm. Some of the trees outside the fence were blown down and have been removed. This will provide more sunlight to the beds close to the fence. Thank you so much for your patience during this difficult time post Ian. Gardeners will be notified as soon as an opening date has been confirmed.

The Wheel of Fun Update

The wheel of fun will be ready to go when the park reopens. Check out there rental info here.
