All
of
the
parks
in
Naples
are
gorgeous
and
the
Golden
Gate
Community
Park
is
no
exception.
This
park
serves
the
Golden
Gate
community
located
in
the
far
northeastern
part
of
the
Naples.
Golden
Gate
began
as
a
development
in
the
1950s
and
1960s
from
175
square
mile
of
Everglades
swampland
purchased
in
the
late
1950's
by
Jack
and
Leonard
Rosen,
founders
of
Gulf
American
Corporation.
Before
Golden
Gate,
the
Gulf
American
Corporation
had
success
in
developing
Cape
Coral.
Neighborhoods
in
Golden
Gate
include
Golden
Gate
City,
Golden
Gate
Estates,
Forest
Park,
Berkshire
Village,
and
Safe
Harbor.
Unlike
many
west
coast
neighborhoods,,
Golden
Gate
has
no
gulf
coast
access.
It
does
however
have
many
miles
of
canals.
Golden
Gate
Community
Park
is
located
on
one
of
the
canals
and
has
a
launch
for
the
type
of
small
watercraft
the
canals
are
ideal
for.
Another
draw
to
the
park
is
the
aquatic
facility
that
has
a
25-yard
by
25-meter
heated
pool,
a
children’s
activity
pool,
a
wading
pool,
a
177-foot
open
slide,
a
122-foot
closed
slide,
one
1-meter
springboard
and
one
3-meter
springboard.
The
aquatic
facility
charges
a
nominal
entrance
for
residents.
There
is
also
a
fitness
center
with
treadmills,
ellipticals,
free
weights
and
weight
machines.
You
can
purchase
monthly
and
yearly
fitness
memberships.
Other
park
amenities
include
a
lighted
little
league
field,
lighted
baseball
field,
lighted
soccer/football
fields,
lighted
basketball
court,
4
lighted
tennis
racquetball
courts,
shuffleboard
courts,
bocce
court,
playground,
restrooms,
and
picnic
pavilions
which
can
be
rented.
As
a
visitor,
my
favorite
part
of
the
park
was
the
nearly
one
mile
paved
fitness
trail.
I
love
how
this
park
offers
something
for
all
ages.
Take
the
kids
to
the
pool
or
playground,
exercise
at
he
fitness
center,
participate
in
team
sports
at
one
of
the
fields,
or
enjoy
a
picnic
in
one
of
the
pavilions.
The
options
for
recreation
are
endless
in
this
well
appointed
park.
