John, get out your Villages map (the $5 map, not the free map) and go up Canal Street. The playground is just past Stillwater Trail and before Old Camp road on the left (west) side.

We noticed that the pond behind the church at Spanish Springs had lots of little kids feeding the ducks. There's a sandy bank and a platform they can run out to. It involves splashing through 3" of water to get to it, so count on the kids getting wet.

The recreation guide http://www.districtgov.org/images/RecGuide.pdf is marked with picnic areas and fishing spots.

The calendar that Citizens First Bank gave us shows Roger's Park in Venetian Gardens in Leesburg. "Wooden castles, walkways and climbing structures under a canopy of old oaks were designed with active kids in mind."
