-Pinecrest Gardens has many elements of fun: water, playground and animals! The petting zoo is something you definitely want to take the kids to. I love this Splash n’ play because it allows the little kids who can’t swim yet to enjoy the water in a safe environment.

-Large trees provide shade throughout the whole park and make it possible to stay outside for more than 15 minutes. Our Florida sunshine can be too much at times and sometimes makes it impossible to do outdoor activities. So, for those days come to Coral Pine Park and bring your water.

- With trees throughout the park this is the perfect place to enjoy a family bike ride or just have a nice picnic. The playgrounds are nice but they seem to be the only place that is not shaded, so be careful on those scorching hot days! This is also a popular spot for birthday parties.
