Gilchrist Park - Punta Gorda (FL)

5 /5 Darla Dume: Beautiful little park to walk in. There’s still some damage from the hurricane to check out. Had a lovely walk by the water and around downtown Punta Gorda. We went on a Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of parking.

5 /5 Uhhh Yo: We go to this part 3 to 5 times a week. Great trails, beautiful views, everyone is always so nice. Unfortunately some of the amenities were affected by the hurricanes this last season. However, it is still open, operational, and lots to do! Such a perfect end to a nice day, if you have a chance to get there. There is often drum circles, bands, individual musicians. Lots of dogs. Kids from 1 to 99 riding bikes or other various of fun transportation. Just overall a nice place to be.

5 /5 Darl Springer - Myers: So beautiful to walk along waters edge on a level, safe sidewalk. It is refreshing and lifts my spirits to see all the nature, dolphins jumping, etc The benches are helpful to those who need a break or just want to take in the view. Hurricanes have tried to destroy this area but it remains glorious!

5 /5 Studebaker Krissy: Stunning sunset!!!! Very peaceful. Tennis courts are in great condition. Great for dog walking. Great trail boardwalk. Overall 10/10 highly recommend! I had a picnic with my puppy under a Banyan tree by the water once. Such a well-maintained park. Fabulous sunset view with the ocean!

5 /5 Luke Render: Nice park. No coffee options here far as I could see. I think there might be a vending machine a little to the southwest of here along the shoreline near the boat launch for soft drinks? There are bathrooms here at this park. The old abandoned hotel is slightly to the North East of here and the sidewalk is closed off. The one steps to the Gazebo are apparently damaged at that time of this writing and roped off for future repair. The place is not really handicap accessible, but kind of is depending upon where you go in the park. The view here is great. It looks like the paradise that it is. The sidewalk that skirts the shoreline gives you a taste of fresh clean air. It certainly show cases paradise. There is not an accessible beach here. It is a retaining wall next to the sidewalk. They have a tennis court here and quite a few sidewalks so you can ride a bike here. Park is open 24 hrs. No way to lock it and not gated.
