The city of Cape Coral held a ribbon cutting event for its newest amenity, Crystal Lake Park, last Friday.

Part of the city’s Parks GO Bond, Crystal Lake Park features a beach on which to relax, a hilltop lookout with “breathtaking” views, and boat, kayak, and canoe launches to explore the lake. You’ll also find a shaded picnic area ideal for relaxing meals, convenient fitness stations, and a kids fitness playground to keep little ones active and entertained.

Located in the north Cape, the park is another way to serve an area that is booming with new residents, city officials said.

According to the city’s website, the park has a budget of $10,293,147, and states the budget was “on track.”

Crystal Lake Park is at 4307 NW 36th St.
