Kiwanis Family Park Walking Trails and Existing Facilities
The City of Sanford is only responsible for the areas of Kiwanis Family Park mentioned above, which are the new main parking lot, the splash pad, the playground, the paved half-mile walking trail, and the two new picnic shelters.
The gravel walking trails, existing Kiwanis Club picnic shelter, uncovered picnic tables, gazebo, and side parking lot remain under the ownership and management of Lee County Parks and Recreation.
Reservations for the Kiwanis Club picnic shelter must be made through their registration system. Reserving their shelter does not also reserve the City's newly constructed shelter.
