VENETIAN GARDENS PARK, Leesburg, Florida

VENETIAN GARDENS PARK

Leesburg, Florida

Follow the signs on US Hwy 441 South, to Dixie Avenue
 and to the Leesburg Hospital.
This magnificent park is just beyond the Hospital on your left.
If you approach Dixie Avenue from US Hwy 27 South, it will be
on your right before you get to the hospital.

There are ample parking spaces or you can drive along the shoreline
of Harris Lake to view some of the water activities.
There are  picnic pavilions and plenty of park benches
 for sitting and enjoying the beauty.
There is also a nice children's play area and rest rooms,
close to the entrance.
 

We chose to park and walk the trail,
and pass over the many bridges from one
area to another.


Near the parking area, some
folks were fishing.


There was some sun bathing going on too.


There were flowers to be enjoyed
as well as the birds of all shapes and sizes,
and colors.

Take a picnic with you, and have
a memorable day.  
We plan to visit here again, soon.
There is no charge for a visit 
to this Paradise in Leesburg, Florida.
