A nice little park in a corner of Cape Coral. Each time I come here, it is a little bit better than the last time, as the City adds more features and upgrades. There is a kayak launch to make it easy to get out into the water for all ability levels. There are areas to fish. A butterfly garden. Multiple areas with benches, including a deck. There is a small box with a collection of books available to read while at the park. There are observation areas where you can hope to see the local wildlife including manatees. Around the park are information areas to find out about manatees, butterflies and burrowing owls.
The park is generally well maintained. I'm sure the climate is very hard on all the structures and the grass. There are porta potties available, but no other facilities of that type (yet?). Parking is gravel except for the handicap spaces. Lot of space to park in. The park is very wheelchair accessible from what I observed. Ramps down to most areas and a cement walkway through the park. Not a lot of shade but when the trees mature it will be even nicer. Went on a morning on a weekday. Quite a number of people visiting, but...
Read moreWe were in town for a couple of days and wanted to do a little fishing other than the canal behind our rental. The park is in the beginning stages of development, it has porta-potties for toilets, and some picnic benches right off a paved walkway. The kayak launch looked nice and was busy the day we went. We never walk down towards the manatee viewing area. We fished at the North end of the park just beyond the bird houses. We saw lots of small bird species and several birds of prey. There are a couple of good places to fish although none of these are easily accessible for people with mobility issues. All the fishing locations on the north end are down a semi steep bank. The fishing was ok for us (we caught some catfish) there's potential there if you fish at the right time and day (we did not). The shoreline is lined with rock, and the bottom had a few rocks, but we never snagged up. We were there on a Sunday and there was a lot of boat traffic and kayak traffic...
Read moreSirenia Vista Park is a true hidden gem for anyone looking to relax and connect with nature in Cape Coral. The park's peaceful atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to unwind, whether you're taking a leisurely stroll along the trails, enjoying a picnic, or simply sitting by the water soaking up the Florida sunshine.
One of the park's highlights is its manatee viewing area, especially during cooler months when these gentle giants come close to shore. It's a magical experience to see them up close in their natural habitat. Kayaking is another popular activity here, with scenic waterways offering an up-close view of mangroves and local wildlife.
