Lakes Park Enrichment Foundation has organized the event as part of the Lakes Park Fall and Halloween Festival for seven years. About 118,000 people attended last year’s Fall Festival. The festival also includes a pumpkin patch, Halloween Express train ride, hayrides, inflatables and concessions. The foundation begins planning the event in June.

The event continues through Oct. 28 with the People’s Choice voting. All visitors to the displays are requested to vote for their favorite. After this voting the winners are awarded a certificate and prizes been donated by businesses, including Salty Sam’s Waterfront Attractions, NBC/ABC, Diamond Head Beach Resort and Spa, Rib City, Wheel Fun Rentals, SWFL Train Museum and Lee County Lakes Regional Park.

Lakes Park Enrichment Foundation, a nonprofit organization, assists Lee County Parks and Recreation through philanthropic and voluntary efforts to enrich Lakes Regional Park and enhance the community’s enjoyment of this natural resource.  All proceeds are being used to create a Children’s Garden within the confines of Lakes Park. This will be a teaching garden and will introduce the children to nature’s beautiful bounty.
