What parents say
Great fenced in playground for the kids but I would like to know why the pirate ship is closed? It’s been closed for some time now and my grandson always manages to find his way inside. Who can I talk to about getting it opened?
If you are looking for the heart and soul of Punta Gorda, Gilchrist Park is pretty much it. Spanning about 11 or 12 acres right along the Charlotte Harbor waterfront, it manages to be both a high-energy sports hub and a quiet place to clear your head.
was a nice little park, there was 4 climbing things there one was blocked off site to repairs I assumed. there are 4 swings as well and a covered pavilion with 4 or 6 picnic tables. It's fully fenced around with access only on the parking side with a locked gate. The view from the back side is the water, really pretty!
This Gilchrist Park Playground is a fun-filled adventure for kids. If you need a quick break from I-75 driving with the kids, get off and head to this Punta Gorda Park. It’s just 2-3 minutes from the exit.
