Lake Parker Park, Lakeland
Lake Parker Park has so much potential but doesn't end up being a very nice experience. Winding, paved paths take you along the lake, through wild Florida jungle, and beside a stagnant pond loaded with mosquitoes. The entire walk is absolutely choked with mosquitoes. There is a super expensive amazing playground that no one can probably use unless they are immune to mosquitoes- the playground has many spider webs. It is such a beautiful playground, with an enormous amount of equipment- what a shame that it wasn't built somewhere more practical. I wonder if it can be moved to another park?
There are plenty of picnic shelters with BBQs but I don't know who could hang out in them, except people who don't get bit.
A better place to go for a walk is around Lake Mirror and Hollis Garden, which is absolutely gorgeous, but not wild like Lake Parker Park, so it's a completely different experience.

The source of the mosquitoes, likely, is this stagnant pond.
