For as long as I could remember, going to the park has always
been an activity that brought a good, positive vibe to not only me but to the
community I was in. The park has always been such a simple way to be close to
nature when living in the city. Whether you were looking for some fun or just
wanted to have a place sit, relax your nerves and get some fresh air. With so
many things available to do, the park is a place that brings out good energy in
people of all ages. Today I explored one of the places on my Positive Place For
The Positive Mind map of the Fort Myers, FL area, (from one of my earlier blog
post). Lakes Regional Park on Gladiolus Drive is a great place to be close to
nature and be at peace, whether you’re by yourself or with a group of friends.
Driving through the opened gates of Lakes Regional Park I was
instantly surrounded by trees of all sizes and shades of brown and green. Walking
around the park made me feel at peace as the cool breeze brushed against my
face and the trees shaded me from the sun. Looking at what the park had to
offer to the open public brought a smile to my face as I watched children play
in both an aquatic and classic playground. There’s also a garden with paths to
walk around and observe all the flowers and plants in the garden. One the main
things about this park that gives off its peaceful vibe is its huge lake with
the path around it for people to jog and walk around. Walk along the lake I’ve
seen people jogging, sitting by the lake, and couples pushing strollers
together. By the time I got back to where I first began to walk I felt relax, rejuvenated
and completely at peace.
A local park has always been a great service to the
community and individual as well. My time at Lakes Regional Park was definitely
one that brought out good vibes.
