Howell Branch Preserve - Winter Park (FL)

5 /5 Nyomi Senpai: This place is great. Very small but also spacious for intimate events. We had our son’s birthday party here and it was awesome. The pavilion is always clean, as well as the restrooms. It’s spacious enough for a bounce house and balls pits. If you’re looking for a small area to have family in time this is the perfect place. The pavilion comes with outlets, 4 6ft tables and 2 8tf tables.

5 /5 Alexander Rivera: Really well maintained park, playground. Does not have any athletic grounds like basketball, tennis, etc, but for a nice walk, and get some energy out of a 3 year old, it definitely works. My only complaint about the park would be the pavilion was really beat up (not that it matters) that was really the only negative for us. Other than that, this park is pretty solid.

5 /5 Daniel: This is a smaller park with a bigger out doors walk through that I define as the highlight of this park. They have a mini board walk with a top that overlooks some forested area. There is a pavilion, bathroom, and playground here. A circuit side walk around a large open grass field hides two downward paths into the forest with some nice trails that are less then a 10 minute walk in total. There are a few hidden spots next to a river for the more adventurous but be careful of snakes, alligators, and mud.

5 /5 Lameka Adams: Nice clean park with nice views, a bathroom, water fountain, and Pavillion with shade cover. The play area is good for ages 2 to 9.

5 /5 丽莎: Nice smedium sized park with a loop to walk. It seems there is a small dirt trail in the wetland area that you may be able to walk, but I’m not sure since there’s no signage discussing the trail, but the dirt path is easy to see in the trees. There is an open field for playing sports and there is some exercise equipment along the paved walking loop. I would take off a half star because the park is starting to look a tiny bit run down. Trash in plant beds, the wooden door of the mini free library is on the ground, and the park entry door columns could benefit from a fresh coat of paint. I didn’t check the bathrooms. Ps: as an earlier review mention, one of the slides is till tied off and cannot be used, but there are two other large and small slides to use
