White City Park — Attraction in Florida

What a beautiful park. White City is in St. Lucie county. It was named for the utopian Great White City built by architect Daniel Burnham for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. The park is located off of Midway Rd which is another reference to the fair. The Midway Plaisance was a wide boulevard which formed the mile-long entertainment center of the fair.

Park amenities include a playground, restrooms, picnic tables, boat launch, and a pavilion. The park is a popular destination for fishing since the park is bordered by the St. Lucie River.

There are packed shell areas for walking. The water was high in December and the grass was soft with water filled areas but there are other high areas to recreate. Overall the nicest park...

Brought a picnic lunch here a couple days ago. Great park! Multiple picnic table options; some covered some not. Great oak tree canopy! Bathrooms available. Although we did not go fishing the folks that were looked like they were have a swell time. Lots of birds and turtles to see too. Lots of area for a toddler to run around. The biggest downside at the writing of this review is the construction on the main road at the entrance to the park and the playground construction. The main road construction made it a little difficult to find the place. Once that playground is complete it will be epic! We'll be...
