Thanks for the update. We'll have to check it out. Another good reason to go for a golf cart ride.

Follow the sign. That's the golf cart bridge over US 441/27 near Spanish Springs Square. The park is located under those trees to the right in the picture.

Here is a map. http://www.yelp.com/map/paradise-dog-park-lady-lake Morse Blvd. becomes W. Boone CT. on the east side of US 441/27. You then take a right going south on Paradise Drive.

I thought that they were going to install exercise equipment on those little paths. If they don't, I see this as a total waste of money. The money would have been better spent ensuring that the lake doesn't turn into a stinking mud hole in the winter.

We went to Paradise Park yesterday and it is beautiful. It will be exceptional after a few years with the azaleas and camellias. I understand the frustration with the lake going dry in the winter but I am told that it allowed to dry up because the spring and summer rains would cause flooding. Who knows. All I can saw is that it is a place of beauty.

We went to Paradise Park today. We parked our golf cart and walked the place, read all of the dedications on the benches , watched archery and went on. We plan on taking a picnic basket there and enjoying the views and each other.

Did I mention that I love my simple life?

Well, I do.

I am always happy to see things on the Historic side upgraded. It makes me feel confident that my investment in a newer area will be kept up as well. Again, let me state that the new Paradise park upgrade is beautiful.
