Very nice park with air conditioned bathrooms. The kids will enjoy the small nature center. You can purchase tshirts and other nature related items.

This place has a good kids playground. It also has some nice nature trails, but note the lookout tower is permanently closed. It also has a butterfly enclosure and some reptiles in the building. Great stop for kids and it is educational.

Always a pleasure visiting Rotary! Great trails, beautiful scenery, the newly built look out tower has a beautiful view. Clean and comfortable place to visit with your friends and family! Bring bug spray!!

Great Dog park, places for your children to play and walking path around the park not to mention butterfly cage and other animals to see. People working there are helpful and friendly. I go there all the time.

Awsome park. Good jogging paths. The trails can give you a small break from the city.

I visited on October 9th 2020 and can tell you the park itself is amazing. Great trails, a play area for kids and dog park, but the reason I give three stars is cause of the conditions the reptiles within their building were kept.Most of the enclosures were to small for the species they held and barren. Some only having a hide and bowl.Some of the water bowls were empty and some enclouers even smelled strange.Futher more some animals like their spiny tailled lizzard was severely overweight to the point you couldnt tell if it was breathing.They seem to pick and choose which animlas got enrichment cause some like their ball python and spiny tailed iguana had nive enclouers with things to interact with and places to hide.Others like their savhana and blue tounge sinks were in enclosuers with just a hide and bowl and some mulch.It is absoulty saddening that a place here to edcuate the public on wilflife and proper animal care only provided the absolute minimum for some of their animals.This park is amazing amd the people can defiently do better in caring for their animals. If you are going ti edcuate people go above and beyomd in their care, dont just give them the bare minimum.

Awesome park and great community center it also has a cool little dog park

The park has plenty to offer including a dog park, a playground, nature trails, and even a butterfly house. A great place to go for a walk and enjoy nature.

Clean, has ample parking, restrooms, dog park, butterfly garden, monitor lizard habitat, marked trails with info re: trees.

Beautiful place to hike and relax!

Had a great bike ride, the attendant at the Butterfly garden was super informative, walked us through an gave us lots of info. This is not something that we would normally do so to take interest and enjoy the experience was simply do to Debbie and her kind nature.

Great dog park, the folks that Ive met here seem really nice. Also a butterfly exhibit, a playground for kids and a hiking trail.

A gem! I am so happy I found this place it is beautiful, the trail is super long and with pretty sightings, the playground is nice and well kept. There is a garden with butterflies. Excellent place to relax!

Beautiful park with lots of great amenities. There is a great walking path around the perimeter of the park, as well as additional paths through the woods. There is a dog park, a playground, a butterfly garden, and a great outdoor gym for all ages/fitness levels to use. I love visiting Rotary Park!

Burrowing Owe Festival was great. Very organized and easy for families to get around. The park it’s self is top notch with a dog park and great facilities.

Took the kids and wife there recently its a beautiful park. I also really love the wild life they have there.

Great park and lots of shade from the trees. It would be nice if the playground had shade sails tho.

Great little place , especially if you have a dog.

Nice park with a gated area for dogs to run off leash. Several paths lead to ponds, mangroves and areas with native plants. One paved path has exercise stations. There is an amazing playground. There is also a small building housing butterflies. Some of the wildlife seen were mottled ducks, moorhens, banded watersnakes, freshwater crabs, squirrels and lizards.

There is a Butterfly garden and a loop closed to motor vehicles that small kids can use to ride a bike or some skates. There are areas to bbq. There is a childrens playground, quite modern and in good shape. Adjacent is a dog park with separate spaces for small and large breeds.

We love Wagging Tails... Been such a great social experience for our wild, wild Westie!!

Nice park very clean and has restrooms. Dog park looked nice and had quite of dogs playing in it.

I loooove this review thing. My grandson taught me how to do this and I am loving it! Just like I love this park. What a great walk. The butterfly house was so nice. Very informative. Great place to bring the grand kids and our dog. (you have to register the dog first before coming) Love it here. Will be coming back here real soon.

I could visit here every day. I just loved Debbie. We sat in the butterfly garden and discussed plants, caterpillars and what not. Such a sweetie!

This park is huge with numerous trails. Lots of wildlife. I especially enjoyed the Butterfly House near the entrance. It is a screened in space that you walk into. There are several species of butterflies flying around. Outside there is a nice butterfly garden.

Very unique. Alot of wildlife. One of our favorites

Nice place to take a walk. Really enjoyed the burrowing owl festival.

Awesome

This is a gorgeous park!! has a big playground and they even have movies in the park occasionally!

Love love loved this place before I rescued a dog. Now im there most every day! So much to do, see and learn here!Thank you Rotary Park!Michael and Ragnar!

I recently went to Rotary Park for a movie.The Parks & Rec staff were very friendly and accommodating. They had bug repellant to use as well as popcorn...all for the taking.Luxe had free 5 minute chair massages and there was also yoga offered by a local yoga studio.Will definitely go again.

Great little park with nice people

I enjoyed this park very much... Quiet. A lot of space... Great place to take photos too! I had my daughters 2nd bday party here in the month of December. It was a breezy day but all worked out great!

What a WONDERFUL little park. This park has great, smooth paved walking trails, along with having small wooded/rock trails. The dog park looked really nice compared to the one in our town, with multiple areas for dogs to play, shade, toys, etc. My 2 year old LOVED the playground, and had already asked to return to it several times this evening. We did not get to check out the inside building at the park due to an on-going program, but we got a very nice impromptu tour of the butterfly house by someone working in the gardens. What an awesome facility & it was a very informational tour. Thank you!We are in the area a few times every winter, & my daughter & I will definitely be back to enjoy this gem of a park!

Nice park with good playground. A lot of things to explore. Butterfly garden, fenced dog area, bird watching, shelters with BBQ and toilets.Unfortunately no shade so the slides and swings are very hot.

I heard the dog park isnt very clean, but I walked my dog over and it didnt seem as bad as they said. We walked thru the little nature park..worth a look for sure, youll learn about the plants and trees...bring the kids and a picnic lunch..there are tables to relax at while the kids run around.

This a great tranquil place. Bring mosquito prevention. Playground is a fun updated for all ages to play. The story behind it brings tears to eyes but also hope for prevention of anything happen to anyone else in that situation with dogs & lil ones. Big Blessing From Jesus Going To Liams Family!!

Nice place butterfly garden nature walks good bicycle track

Do not recommend, got attacked by a tall faceless man with tentacles. He tried to take me as he said it. Was trapped for 2 weeks. Would not come again

I love going here to be with nature.

Nice park with a lot to see like a butterfly garden, a boardwalk and hiking trails.

Had a great day at the plant sale. Great selection and the best prices!

The kids and I love this park. Plenty of room to roam and play!

Beautiful place to walk and hold hands, and let the kids run

Great Park for walking running or nature trails also has a dog walk Park area in a butterfly garden beautiful setting convenient to get to

Great dog park. Very pretty gardens, Love the nature center staff. very friendly.

It is an interesting park and they have special things planned on certain date. Such as the New Guinea Singing dog that I posted.

I often think people dont know about this park. It sits on the corner of two roads and access is not the best. But it has so much to offer for a leisurely walk in nature. On the grounds is a building that often has informational classes on all sorts of things about our horticulture and the similar topics. They are free as is the park and its parking. So if on your way to Tarpon Point look for this park just past the turn off El Dorodo or take the parking just off the Rose Garden Dr. to Tarpon Point. It also has a dog park near by.

Very nice park,not too big,not too small...plenty to keep kids busy( as long as they like being outside,actually SHOULD BE outside). The star watching was really neat,so much to learn about the stuff out there....the guys w the telescopes, very friendly and informative....only negative..the dang no seeums.....we just didnt bring strong enough bug juice...next time we will for sure..

I took this here I had a great time when I went

You should just skip this little gem of a park, unless you are into, butterflies, birds or gardening then you should go but don’t tell any of your friends. We have been coming down to south Florida primarily as birders for a couple of years now and this was the first year we discovered this great little park and it’s secret. Cute little warblers that hide out in these beautiful trees, warblers you might not see anywhere else in Florida, warblers that will sing and chirp and play hide and seek with you, just because you want their picture. So don’t go telling everyone about this little park, let’s just keep this between you and me. Lol

What a great place to enjoy nature right here in SW Florida. Plenty of walking trails, butterfly house, local animal life. Both land and water types to see in their own environment. Plus a doggie park where many owners and their four footed friends gather during the day. Enjoyment for all ages.

Nice trails with interesting butterfly exhibit. Small visitors center with restrooms. Destination tower is fun hike with kids. Also has a busy dog park.

This is a park for folks who are around more than a week. $20 for the year, no daily permit. It looked very small as well.

Boyfriend and I went to this park on 5-23-19, we started walking the path around the park and we were swarmed with mosquitoes.. and I mean swarmed! We literally had to run out of the park to get away from them!The lake that’s hidden in the back needs a fountain to keep the water moving instead of growing horrible bugs. I had them all over my legs and he said he could see them swarming around me, it was worse than you could even imagine. The park definitely needs some upgrades, I will not be visiting this park again.And you call this a dog park? Poor dogs probably get eaten alive out there. This is no joke, the city NEEDS to do something about that pond in the back - stagnant water is a breeding ground for bad pests that were trying to get rid of by spraying with the helicopters, save money in the long run and fix this, especially if it’s an attraction for family’s!

Registered my dog today. Received by a very friendly and wonderful receptionist. Park is always clean and inviting. I really like this place

Absolutely amazing summer camp for the kids! Great program. My son HAD SO MUCH FUN!

A employee was feeding the lizards at the entrance when we arrived. She provided us with great info. G reat local spot!

I dont like how we were treated here at all! My husband took our pups here 4 a walk while i was working and we were told that our dogs werent aloud because we didnt bring there papers that are home. Put away w us we nev ever had to bring papers to a park just to walk our dogs we prob wouldnt recommend or go back there

A beautiful place to explore, and a amazing dog park.

We have 2 dogs who love the freedom to run and play with other dogs. We also visit the butterfly gardens, we raised monarchs for about 6 months and brought them to the park. Unfortunately, we moved to a condo in the North Cape and we can no longer raise them, but we come down to the park every couple of weeks.

Be aware of mosquitos! The place is very nice but if you dont put on a strong bug repellent you risk to be eaten alive. There is nice sized dog park and the trail is pretty easy to follow.

Pretty place.....smells like weed (pot) real strongly though...not a complaint though lol...

Butterfly garden and fun nature trails.

Oh the butterflies!!!! If you love butterflies, youll be in Heaven in the enclosed butterfly sanctuary! They are also in the butterfly garden, but not as many. There is also a free roaming Red-Footed turtle in the butterfly sanctuary. It was such a tranquilexperience for this lover of butterflies.

Great place, nice giant spider dude, cool walking shadows, awesome boardwalk and scary but cool dude with the camera and knife. Highly recommend going there.

Take some misquote repellent before you realize it you are the food bar great place to visit they even have a dog park

Owners of their Dogs are more involved in conversations with other dog owners instead of controlling their pets! Dog Free For All!! Rather take my chances walking on Cape Coral Pkwy than walking Rotary Park dog pound!

Nice quiet park, with butterfly exhibit, nice landscape, walking paths.

Some creepy dude with no face came after me was almost trapped there for 3 weeks never coming there again.

Had a great time at the park. First we went on the little nature walk through the mangroves a little down the street. Wonderfully kept and the lookout tower was amazing. Then we took our little one to the playground and had a great time. Much to do to keep the kiddos active and engaged. This will be a park we go to often.

Beautiful park. Theres two large fenced in areas for dogs. 1 area for large dogs and 1 for small. An enclosed area used as a butterfly garden. A big playground for kids, and lots of trails to walk.

Great place to walk the dog. I did not utilize the dog park, but it appears to be enjoyable for our four legged friends. Very clean, very organized and nice play park for children. I enjoyed looking at all the beautiful native flowers

Great! Best burrowing owl festival I have ever been to!!

Was a wonderful event, the trails are very nice,. very educational.

Fantastic park. There is a butterfly garden, there’s a trail to take a quick hike on there’s a Decently sized Playground and it’s all kept very clean.

Beautiful City of Cape Coral park adjacent to The Westin. I went to visit the exceptional butterfly house. There are also bicycle paths, walking trails, areas for bird watchers, covered picnic tables with bar-b-ques, a play ground for the little ones that has maybe been there one year, beautiful plants and trees, free parking, at least two Boy Scout Clubs have built trails and walkways over the salt marshes. This is a hidden gem and one more reason to visit or live in Cape Coral!

My dog loves visiting the iguanas and walking around the park.

A beautiful hidden treasure. I really enjoyed the flower garden and the many butterflies that were fluttering all around the various flowers. I also walked the nature trail and found it very peaceful and relaxing.

Peaceful environment, native plants and a butterfly exhibit.

Wonderful events, friendly staff. The kids liked the playground (bathrooms are close by and pavilions with picnic tables), lovely big dog park, and we loved exploring the nature.

Love this little park. Great for the kids, taking the dog for a walk, finding rocks and checking out the plants and gardens.

Well maintained by professional and friendly staff. Beautiful park for walks and photographs

This is a great walking trail. Some with asphalt and some not paved. It is all a good place to relax with nature. Dog park and water to drink available.

Thought this would be a nice place to bring my dog today just to find out he cant go on any of the trails...since when are dogs more destructive than humans? But whatever, so we went to go in the dog area and you need a code..I mean I give it alot of stars because the quick walk around was really beautiful & well taken care of.

Nice park with walking and hiking trails, a plays cape, butterfly house house and dog park.

If youre a pokemon go fan, youll love it!! Lol. But seriously its a great place, shade, benches, picnic areas, overall great family and dog place!!

The Burrowing owl festival was great and the park is amazing. I will definitely be back.

Great park for the family and dogs. Very clean and well kept with many nature trails. Dogs must have shots and be registered.

Attended the Burrowing Owl Festival. It was great So many educational stands, crafts, plants, and animals. Great butterfly house.

My wife loved the nature trails here, and our daughters the park! I loved the inside, along with the park as a whole! Great place to bring the family!

For me its very relaxing, the joy of watching a butterfly emerge or a catapillar hatch, sharing what I have learned, all of it always makes me smile.In addition there are a couple gardens one with fountains and benches, a quiet place to watch and listen to nature or read a book.Early in the morning birders are rewarded with the spring and fall migration or wading birds getting breakfast.There are picnick tables, a great play ground for the kids and lots of room for a game of catch.Just to get you started.Oh and the dog park, I watch people come and go all day long and you see how excited the dogs are to go in and play.

Great park and environmental center to wander around in. The Tom Allen Butterfly House, kids playground, dog park, and trails on site.

My 8 yr old went during the summer for camp due to their weekly activities that involve animals which she loves. Although pricey in asking for the whole summer upfront versus paying weekly she had fun and enjoyed her summer.

Great place to see old Florida before all of the construction took place

My daughter attended summer camp here and it was wonderful! She had so much fun and loved all the staff! Thank you for making summer more fun!!

The butterfly house, terrific.

Wonderful place to walk.

Beautiful park offering featuring a lovely childrens playground, a butterfly enclosure (only open during certain hours), environmental classes, a dog park, a covered gazebo for picnics and parties and walking trails through pristine Florida wilderness. Some trails are varied terrain, while another (accessible from another parking lot further down Rose Garden) offers a boardwalk through mangrove swamp, and may be more navigable for those who need more solid, flat footing. Bring your camera as the trails offer an ever changing assortment of flora and fauna.

Brought some girl scouts to earn a hiking badge and outdoor art badge. Before the hike the women in the butterfly garden explained all the different butterflys and how they care for them. It was truly wonderful and the girls now have an understanding of what to look for to avoid destroying crysallis and how to attract butterflies in home gardens. After the hike the gentleman in the nature center brought out turtles and lizards and shared animal facts that were incredibly interesting and he was so entertaining. I cannot thank the volunteers enough for their time and devotion to the local families and wild life, they didnt even know we were going to be there, they made it a wonderful day for everyone and we are incredibly greatful!
