The Dr. Phillips Community Park recently opened to rave reviews at least from the looks of this guy. The new park is located adjacent to Sand Lake Elementary on Buena Vista Woods Dr. just past the Diamond Cove and Emerald Forest subdivisions. There’s also a pathway from Darlene Rd. so residents from this area can get to the park with just a short walk.
There’s so many activities here alongside views of Big Sand Lake. The water park seems to be a big hit, but there’s also a lighted baseball field, 2 lighted soccer fields, 2 sand volleyball courts, basketball court, an amphitheater, playground, dog park, picnic areas, playground, and walking trails along the lake. A sign at the park indicates that there is a charge for use of the water park but I didn’t see anyone collecting entrance fees when I visited.
It’s just a great new place and another reason why SW Orlando is such a good place to call home.

The park is great, and couldn’t have opened at a better time. I have been holding a soccer game on Fridays at 4pm each week, and attendance is growing. The fields are brand new, and kept up well. The park guys usually kick us out at 6pm; but they are professional. Email if interested in playing.

I got an email from Whit and he says the soccer game is for adults.

We had to move the games to 5pm; most of the people who attend have to work and get out late. The games have temporarily been moved to Dr. Phillips High School, as the park went under construction recently. I would say that the age demographic ranges from 18-35yr olds.
