Many things changed throughout the years in this park. Many upgrades and beautiful scenery. Shops, stores and restaurants all within short walking distance. Public restrooms with pier access. Upscale hotels border the surrounding area. Following hurricane Ian and the damage that occurred, we got to visit the memorial that was put in place for those who lost their lives. I will always remember that time and what residents went thru here. A special thanks to those who preserved what still remained. The city keeps a close watch here and it shows. Ty!

What a fantastic park the new Centennial Park turned out to be. Our kids absolutely love this park and they are always asking to go back. There is something for every age and even adults can enjoy the park with their kids, at least I do lol Even for kids with sensitivity traits also enjoy this park very much. My oldest son has autism and he really likes the net swing. There is a very tall tower and slide but there is also an area for toddlers with shorter slides. The park looks well maintained and it gets pretty busy during the weekend. It used to be free to park but there is a fee now and you have to pay for it using the app so make sure to bring your phone if you decide to drive here.

Great park with some of the biggest slides in fort myers, kids love it. Great climbing activities and good shaded areas. Gated which is nice so kids can’t just wonder. One downside is all the homeless people around the area, not a good look but they don’t bother thankfully. Also right by the water and the kids love that!!!

Always a nice go too. Wish the city would put more money into the playground equipment. Needs revamped especially with all the new growth in the city. (Update may/28/22) Finally we have a new playground. Opening soon!

Great park! If your kids get bored here, they're just boring kids.

This passed the vibe check! ✨gorgeous gorgeous✨ scenery. No cap! I was shook! 👁🫦👁

Well, let me start off by saying that working this event was great with Ft Myers Marine !!! Their Team deserves 5 STARS !!! As for the venue, it was awful !!! Over crowded no restrooms and the food venue was dismal!!! Whoever thought this place was a good venue for a boat show needs their head examined!! Next year, move it to a place with more room and better options.. Walking around this dump was like playing a human version of Mouse Trap, blocked off sidewalks and roads, Zigzag walkways, and extreme heat with no one to point you in the right direction !!!! Plus, the parking was an absolute nightmare at this event 😫 😫

I recently visited Centennial Park in Fort Myers, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The park is beautifully designed and maintained, with a variety of activities and amenities that make it a great place for people of all ages. The park has a large playground area that is perfect for children, with plenty of swings, slides, and climbing equipment. My children had a blast playing there while I relaxed on one of the nearby benches and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The park also has a large splash pad, which is perfect for those hot Florida days. The water features were well-designed and provided hours of entertainment for my children. The walking paths in the park are well-maintained and offer a scenic view of the Caloosahatchee River. I enjoyed taking a leisurely stroll while taking in the beautiful views of the river and the surrounding area. The park also has a large amphitheater that hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including concerts, movies, and festivals. It's a great place to gather with friends and family and enjoy some live entertainment. Overall, my experience at Centennial Park in Fort Myers was nothing short of amazing. The park has something for everyone, from children's playgrounds to walking paths and live entertainment. The park is clean, well-maintained, and definitely worth a visit. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing day out in Fort Myers.

Such a great park! The young girl I was nannying was in heaven! The structures themselves are extremely solid. Even the climbing rope looked to be wrapped around stainless steel. Whatever company built this place had safety, fun, and weatherproofing in mind. I was extremely impressed coming here. The ground is also very squishy so if your child did happen to fall they would be alright. It’s a pretty location as well, right on the Caloosahatchee river. We saw many people walking their dogs on nearby trails. Nice area for the rest of town mostly still renovating from the hurricane last year.

What a great park experience. Something to do for all ages. I took my 13 year old son and 5 year old daughter and we had endless fun. The playground is awesome. So much to do and explore and it was built very sturdy and nice touches with color etc. your right next to the river and the surrounding areas were nice. The fountain was good also. It would be nice to have some benches placed for parents to sit at but I still made it work. Definitely recommend stopping by to play on the playground.

One of the oldest places to visit. It preserves the history with the 3 statues of legendary men who contribute to this nation in different ways. The view is spectacular to the Caloosahatchee River. The amphitheatre is new, part of the hotel across the street. We had enjoyed a recent concert with Lee Greenwood.

Awesome park! Way to invest in the future of children and of our City! Ample play areas for all ages. Tot spot for littlest, covered seats for tired parents. A nature hunt to find cool stamp/medallions on the play place posts. And ability for special needs children to participate in the playground as well! I don’t like to criticize but the only enhancement would be a large covering to make shade available in the FL heat! We come here often and encourage you to too!

Not a huge park but still pretty nice to walk around by the river. Right by downtown Fort Myers so very fun area with lots to do. One of my favorite places to go on a night out.

Spent the evening here handing out food for people in need. Its a beautiful location and has multiple spots with an awning/cover for when it rains or you need a break from the sun. Beautiful spot, right on the water. Definitely a nice place to get some fresh air and take in the scenery.

It's turned from a nice family park to a homeless camp center. It's very sad nowhere for the homeless to go. Tried to get a table under the pavilion to do a memorial balloon release for my nieces would've been 18th b-day. And we couldn't even get anywhere the pavilion without being harassed and begged for money. It was quite upsetting.

This used to be a public park with a play ground for kids. Now most of it is gated off and held strictly for private events with even more gates you can't even watch the sunset from benches or go the fishing pier. Nothing has been done except remove the play ground , shut down the bathrooms and water fountains. It's like there slowing removing the park from public to private only.

My local meditation spot to catch the sunset and meet like minded individuals. Free parking and a good spot to start just be in peace with nature.

Absolutely beautiful place to be. Great place to gather and for photos. Short walk from an amazing amount of restaurants and shops.

Very nice park. Stopped to take sunset photos. Great spot

Wonderful place for sunset, park is almost finished and . Best spot for sunset in Ft Myers

The recently renovated Centennial park has several amazing features. From a 2 octave Xylophone and 4 plastic drums, to a super high climbing apparatus with twisty slides, a really cool cargo climbing area, swings, a spinning feature and a rocker boat!!! There's only a couple drawbacks, port-a-pottys missing toilet paper, and very little shade. Other than that, it's great 👍 ( FREE PARKING!!!)

It's a great place to come and chill. Relax and collect your thoughts, or just have a cup of coffee from the nearby Starbucks and enjoy the scenery.. The only reason why I didn't give 5 Stars is because of the crowd of homeless people who I think live here and take up every seat and table under the gazebo.. and because of those same people the public restrooms are usually packed and destroyed as well..

Took a walk on a breezy day. Facilities here are in good shape. Located in pretty 'urban' environment, yet a gem of a place. This is what's good about Fort Myers. You are never too far from water and nature. Parking is ample and you need to pay at the meter. There was some kind of renovation work going on in a neighboring building, but that wasn't in the way. You can walk out to the pier. Plenty of duck and gulls to be seen. Gives you good view of the bridges connecting Fort Myers and Cape Coral. Not sure about fishing as I did not see many trying. Perhaps it was too windy and chilly. Many walk their dog and rightly so. Great place for kids to run around and take in the fresh air.

This is a place I can come an walk around and find beauty everytime in something new. I am peaceful when events are not going on so if you want peace make sure there is not an event!! The events are fun and exciting. Just a cool place for families, couple's or just to be alone...

HOMELESS DIRTY DANGEROUS PEOPLE LIVE HERE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE HERE. The city should do something about this mess. We can't even enjoy our own TAX PAYER waterfront park.

I believe this is a great place. I also think that it's very sad ,distasteful,and evil that they are kicking out the homeless and displacing them to no where with no resources. If only HUMANS REALLY HAVE A LOVING HEART

Small group of vendors the vegetables were pricey.

Disgusting homeless camp.

What a beautiful job they did on Christmas decorations and lighting. Each year has a different theme. A must see.

Looks amazing. I want my dream home to be like this 😃

They decorate these places so beautiful every year and so different I enjoy them very much

We highly recommend this house tour. The docent shared a wealth of information about the history of the area, house, the families that lived in the Burroughs house and their friendships with people in the Ft. Myers area. We were able to tour all three floors of the house. This house is in excellent condition and an accurate example of homes from that period in history. Must see!!

(Translated by Google) No one imagines how much history this beautiful place treasures. (Original) Nadie imagina cuánta historia atesora éste hermoso lugar.

Everyone loves the Burroughs Home. Neat local, good tour

Nice area to hangout and watch sunset

A great park that's going through a rejuvenation. Waterfront at sunset is magical. I can't wait for the festivals and events to come back.

Beautiful backdrops for pictures. Relaxing atmosphere. The playground was under construction so we weren't able to access the playground 😢.

We had a great time at this park. Busy little place. It's near the water and bridge. Parking is located under the bridge so it's shady. Several access points to get into the park. Bathrooms were closed due to hurricane but there were port a pottys near the restrooms.

The new remodel is great! I like that it is all fenced in but i Kinda wish they had benches on the inside for parents to sit. And covered would be even better. 😝

Lots of great kids playground stuff. Its close to the river but gere in SWFL it gets very hot. Be prepared and STAY HYDRATED!

Loved the playground itself but no benches or shade or restrooms (since Ian).

Participated in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Out of the Darkness Walk today. What an amazing venue! This park is a must to visit! Gorgeous park and will return with my grandsons! Only complaint is the portable toilets have not been services in quite some time.

The downtown Sun setting yesterday was so beautiful in surreal it had the calmness of Tranquility truly a Hallmark setting the downtown Fort Myers area very therapeutic wonderful

I absolutely love this place. Nice to walk around and enjoy the day or evening. Lot of construction in area lately, but still very pleasant.

Great place to walk off the food you just had in the nearby downtown area. At the moment most of the park is closed for renovation, but its always a place we come visit when in town.

This place was fenced off and closed with signs stating there going to make it better. I guess will be under construction soon.

We bring our kids here all the time! So close to our home, great park, places to Run, walkway by the water, restaurants, Bars, Boats...

Art fair was just ok Same stuff over and over

Still under reconstruction.

It's called Centennial Park but there is not even a park to play on I think it's completely ridiculous they didn't even put out a warning that they were going to do that and now to find out that they're not even putting in another park for the kids to play my children loved that Park

Lots of things to view

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and above all clean and safe (Original) Muy bello y sobre todo limpio y seguro

(Translated by Google) Beautiful fun park (Original) Hermoso parque di diversión

Too many homeless

Love this park

Good

Gorgeous marina.

It was a great experience for a sunset!

Homeless.

Nice park sits on river under bridge but unfortunately I believe its temporarily closed for rehab

A great place to visit

Great venue for the boat show!

We went during the Taste of Lee, so there were many food trucks. You can walk out on a little bridge and watch the sunset.

It was nice they opened it up for Taste of lee

(Translated by Google) I recommend it (Original) Se los recomiendo

So many homeless people. Had to help out .. with a bunch of food... we have a choice to be or not to be ..

Not what it use to be

Construction and not so accessible river views. Too much traffic and exhaust fumes

Park is now closed for refurbishment.

I like but is under construction now.

Park is closed today for reconstruction sorry

It's a park, it's nothing special just a park.

Hometown favorite

Great place to walk around and enjoy good food

Beautiful park.

This is probably the nicest full sized park in Fort Myers. There's a fountain, playground, fishing pier and of course the river and docks. Right now (Sept 2020) 1/2 of it is closed as they are renovating it and looks like they are adding some really cool stuff, like a soundstage and seating for events. Don't know how long it's going to be closed but it should be even better when that half opens up again. It has Public restrooms and a lot of walking paths as well as a storm water Reservoir set up to help naturally clean storm water before returning it to the Caloosahatchee River. The Public Docks and Marina for boats is here as well and although it has a waiting list, live-aboards are allowed at this marina.

I like the amount of work they did.

The Murphy-Burroughs House, also known as the Burroughs Home and Gardens, is a historic home in Fort Myers, Florida. It is located at 2505 1st Street. On August 1, 1984, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The Burroughs Home provides living history tours and functions as an event venue. The three-story home sits on the Caloosahatchee. The beautiful veranda wraps around 3 sides of the house. Mona's Dancing Porch extends from the East side of the Historic Structure. Completion of a large, open waterfront pavilion occurred in 2015 to accommodate weddings and events.

I went on a Christmas house tour here. After the overly long commentary on the front porch, we went inside to a blue and white wonderland! The downstairs rooms are very pretty even without the lovely Christmas decorations. Upstairs is ordinary. Due to the extra decorations downstairs, there were some things stuck upstairs to get them out of the way so we had to work around them. Most of the lights on the Christmas tree in the master bedroom were out. The third floor servants area was interesting but not decorated and, again, a bit of a storage area.

We are sad that covid restricted the upstairs parts of the houses but none the less we loved it still...the rooms are beautiful and the snowman scavenger hunt was too cute!! Its traditional for us yearly my daughter is almost 14 and she still loves it!!

Beautiful property and beautiful home with rich SWFL history. Great prices on tours and great venue to host events.

Beautiful Location for a Vintage Style, Gatsby Inspired Wedding Day Or Special Events.

If you love old homes you'll love these.

Each year the women's club of fort Myers decorates these homes for Christmas. For$5, it is more than reasonably priced and a great look into the past. For a savy night out, try downtown house of Pizza before or after.

Love it the Christmas lights and everything

Absolutely beautiful!

Spectacular Christmas decorations!

Very poor info on FB and the website on how and where to buy tickets. Signage was only posted on one side of the street so we apparently waited in the wrong line only to be turned away to go over to another very long line. No thanks. Suggestion...take cash money at either house and let folks pick which house to visit as they see fit.

Have been here several times for weddings, fund raisers, and other events. Always well put together, clean, and welcoming.

Great place for an event.

Best place to see santa!

Christmas season decorations are different and gorgeous every year. A must - see event.

I went to a wedding there and it was gorgeous, had a wonderful time !!!

I worked an event here as a part of the catering staff, and I was blown away by how stunningly beautiful this property was. The wood detailing indoors is gorgeous, I loved the paintings, the trees, the view of the Caloosahatchee River,... I’m excited to return for a tour to see the full home and gardens.

Beautiful, elegant

Beautiful as always

Highly recommend "Burroughs House & Gardens" in Florida, Usa. Visited this awesome house dating back to 1700's today. Its stunning, well worth a visit👍♥️🇨🇮👧👏

So so

Very nice Christmas decorations.

All the venues that I've attend here,have been awesome! Great location and atmosphere!

Great for learning

I pass the daily and i would like to live here 😂

A step back in time! Beautifully preserved waterfront mansion. Fun to visit and escape the everyday hustle and bustle!!

Pretty interesting

Nice place to visit

A must visit

Was amazing experience !

Excellent venue for so special occasions

Beautiful venue for an event. Has an open, but covered structure in the backyard, so you will always have a Plan B for outdoor events.

This is such a beautiful old historical home.

Very nice

We went for the Christmas lights this year. Was disappointed to see that they were having multiple problems and a lot of the lights were out.

Park currently closed for total renovation. Great setting

Great

It's a great place to see the water and walk around. You can play volleyball, walk out to the pier and there's always ducks there to see.

Nice little park along the Calussahatchee in Fort Meyers. Small now but more is on the way! Convenient parking nearby.

I'm very impressed with all the work they've put into the park, the sculptures are incredibly noticeable and seem brand new. I'm looking forward to what the finished upgrades turn out. Nice work

Its a very nice place to take pictures it over looks the water and the bridge to North Fort Myers. The park is under construction to add more to the play area. The bathrooms are open and clean. One downside there was a homesless person sleeping on the ground...

Lots of parking. Yachts are very nice to look at. We took a lunch cruise up the river there. Very nice.

I loved this park and the shire is so big,plus all this downtown attractions,cinema,food stores,restaurants.

Loved looking at all the nice cars and also walked my dog at the same time. Win win🐕🐕🚗🏎

My life is complete with the absolute splendor & beauty of this park..The pier is stunning with a dramatic entryway..I used my mountain bike taking spectacular videos!

Playground still under renovation as of 4/23/2022. Will be the best playground in the city once it’s done.

It's a great place to bring your family and friends they have concerts there which are very fabulous I like them. They had to fixx play last night which was great.

Went to farmer's market under bridge in Centennial Park. Under bridge so shady with plenty of parking. Sampled pickles, guacamole, and honey. Bought guacamole, two flavors of honey, yellow mangoes, little bananas, fruit salad and wooden plaque with sun and moon burned into it. Other offerings that I will save for next time are tea, BBQ, jewelry, soaps, and fresh chimichiri. Definitely worth a visit!

My visit was about 3 weeks following Hurricane Ian so most of it was destroyed or greatly damaged. Huge cement debris pieces were everywhere. Several memorials are in place as you walk closer to the water. But I could still see that this was a beautiful park for everyone to meet up, children to play and grown ups to watch the sunset.

Great for walking dogs, there is a beautiful view of the sunset over the water from here as well. There are events in the green space, I recommend visiting for the sunset with your significant other.

Had a very nice experience. Was very big and spacious and clean. Lots to play on and with.

Went to see the cars show they had there, always a great place to spend time always something going on, good restaurants family friendly area...!

Beautiful with an amazing playground. This is like paradise for kids. If you have kids highly recommended for them

Good ole Centennial Park. Great to walk the dogs, let the kids play or just take in the sights. Bathroom building is still under construction from the hurricane but there are a few portable restrooms to use. We paid for parking even though I didn't see a single other person pay. The sign says parking is never free. Better safe than sorry.
