Great walking trails, picnic areas, the play areas are very clean & all up to date equipment. We absolutely love this place!
Great park. Grandson loved the play ground. Lots to do. The play area has a rubber floor.
Had a Sunday picnic. Great well kept area just make sure to bring bug spray! Lots of areas to walk and play.
OVERVIEW: Nice medium sized park with a few miles of various gravel trails. Currently (Feb 2019) under construction at the park’s entrance, so we’re excited for what’s coming!PROS:-2 parking areas of either side (Wicker Street=50 spaces, Carbonton Road=10), handicap spaces at both-2 open field areas for picnics/kids/games, could be more after construction in done!-a body workout station in the middle with push-up/dips/pull-up/etc stations-lots of neat bridges throughout (see pic for the coolest one)CONS:-after rain it gets pretty flooded (see pics) with standing water on all of the low ground (60% of the park). Gravel trails are mainly unaffected though-benches and some manmade items are broken/worn and need repair-not the prettiest wildlife, but decent for being right out side the downtown, see pics for some of the prettier growth we sawWe live a mile away, so for what it’s worth we know we’ll be back! I’d love to come to an event when the construction is over, enjoy
The splash park was just in time for the end of the season last year oh, and what a great addition to the area it is. Unfortunately on account of people not having much sense at all oh, I doubt it will safely be able to reopen anytime soon.
Great place, but would be nice if was kept a bit cleaner.
Please just do yourself a favor and go for a walk here, its especially a nice place for younger kids, and also they keep everything up very well.
Great playground, we visit several times a week!
Very nice park...much space
Great place to throw a party!!
Fabulous upgrade with so many new and neat playground pieces. The splash pad looks awesome too, but we went past the closing date sadly. My daughter and nephew had a blast on the new equipment. Love it!
Please open up summer of 2021
My grandkids had a wonderful time! Plenty of space for many children. Love having security at the entrance, with one way in and out. The hit was the bucket spraying! It was a really good day.
Im actually quite impressed! Splash Zone was more than I (or my daughter) anticipated it to be (yes Im a kid at heart). The playground is actually really nice, as well! Love that they put down the spongey matting down. 2 downsides would be the slippery concrete flooring in the restrooms. Honestly, that is a total hazard waiting to happen especially with excited wet children. Also, there seems to be no ventilation in the restrooms either. Those are honestly my only complaints, thus far. It did just open, although. Hopefully Sanford will maintain it!
Great, clean park. My son never wants to leave!
Great play equipment. Large play area. Separate area for water play.
Its absolutely amazing how much fun we have here.And you walk and dont realize you have walked 3 miles until you have done it.
Fun place for the kids. Great place for the Grandparents to lets the kids play.
We love Kiwanis Family Park, and we play there every week. The playground area is in good shape, albeit the swings definitely need to be updated. Also, the parking lot is small and street side, so watch your kids when they get out!
It has a great playground for kids and really nice walking track.
Had a great time with my family! And the guys working there are so friendly, thank you so much ️
It was a beautiful day to walk the park., Some areas were flooded due to the weather we have been having, but I do think the city could do more for drainage in the areas with standing water.
The park has been fully renovated. City of Sanford put in a heck of an effort to make this park a great family destination.
Great park! A little bit of everything for everyone
Beautiful new childrens park and water park. Lots of fun activities for all ages.
This is the best thing that has happened in Sanford for a longtime the kids love it.
A very nice park. Well maintained.
I had my wedding here under the gazebo it was very nice loved how the gazebo was off by itself .
Its a great place to excerise. They are building a kids water area. Looks really nice. If youre going walking bring a flashlight, its no light poles.
Such a nice family park with free physical activities for everyone.
Nice park since havn a well needed update
Love the new playground area and splash pad which has a fence around it
New splash pad was great our grand kids had a blast. Will do it again
Great new look. Lots of activity and fun for the family.
With all the new play equipment - this park is beautiful
I really liked walking down the paved walked.way. Nice
Great new play ground and splash pad
Lots of shade so even in summer not too bad.
Lots of improvements. Great group of friendly people walking early each morning
Sanfords hidden gem. Decent walking trails, and a solid Greenway that goes out to the movie theater. The only downside is you have to cross 2 streets.
This park is AMAZING!!! We go there every weekend with our grand daughter
Splash pad and new play ground great for hiking
Great clean and updated place to take the family!
Is a beautiful place to play and fun with the kids
The new playground is very nice.
The splash park is a lot of fun for the kiddos!
We did not know that the construction would stop us from being able to park and walk the trails. There were no signs to indicate the park was closed.
Beautiful and clean
Splash pad seems to be a big hit. Very cool!!
Theyre doing a lot of construction but this is a very nice park that they take good care of.
Great park for adults and kids. Several good walking trails.
Loved the new playground and splash pad.
My nephew has his birthday here and even though he had a good time others tend to not respect the reserved post. It was the weekend and it wasnt a number to call. Other than that the park was well maintained
They are fixing the park. Looks great so far I love there trails to walk
The kids loved the splash pad
I enjoyed the cancer awareness event in all the speakers and all the vendors contributing to the experience of all the cancer survivors. There are so many people experiencing different types of cancer amongst their families and loved ones and Im grateful for all the vendors tributing now the local community coming together.
Very nice, shady, peaceful, trails are level and nicely surfaced. Multiple covered benches to relax.
Great playground and trails, though the sewer pipes along the trails stink. Otherwise, great place to walk, run, bike, and play.
Beautiful trails bbq water everything you look for in a park
Thereare 2 one has walking trails and a small play ground the other 1 has no trails but a bigger play section. Fun for the kids great 4 picnics or partiesor a family outing it exercising...because Ive alsohas a nice little section off the trails part for doing pull ups and the like.
Splash pad, completely updated jungle gym! Amazingggg!!!
Nice place to take the kids
Beautiful for a morning jog!!! Tho I wish there was security watching the park all the time as there are many suspicious people...DAY AND NIGHT! One night a friend of mines car broke down and she called me to come pick her up at the front and I see like 5 cars parked in the far corner being loud and I see a beer cooler on the floor while they smoke and yell being a public nuisance. I told her she could wait in the back BUT when I went to the back there were 2 cars and a guy screaming at his girlfriend maybe a domestic dispute and I told her we can get her car help in the morning because of how dangerous it was. Please do something about this. All kinds of people come here especially at night, keep our park safe!!!
Beautiful and amazing playground.
Be sure to bring your own chair if visiting the splash pad or a towel to use on the grass....also in the bathhouse there is no place to change a baby
Love the handicap park!
Good help
Love this park, safe environment.
Better than nothing. Not bad for a local city park.
This place has been under construction all summer
Love walking here on the trails for fresh air and relaxing scenery. Also hanger picnic tables under a shelter for get togethers and a small park with a slide and swings and jungle gym. Modest but fun for these kids. Also it has water fountains and restrooms. UPDATE depending on which kiwanis park you go to, the 1 beside the gas station or the 1 beside the apartments, the one beside apartments is now equipped with a splash pad and AWESOME NEW PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, WELL A WHOLE NEW PLAY GROUND! WITH AMAZING FANTASTERIFICAL THINGS FOR KIDS AND ADULTS ALIKE TO PLAY ON STIFF IVE NEVER SEEN ANY WHERE ELSE BEFORE AND ITS SO COLORFUL, ITS WHERE ALL 4 OF MY KIDS WANNA HANG OUT AT BUT I GUESS EBERYINE ELSES KIDS DO TOO BC THERES ALWAYS A LINE TO PLAY ON ANYTHING THERE, ITS JUST TO POPULAR. BUT AMAZATASTIC
Was married on 5/6/17 at the gazebo. My favorite place to visit.
Peaceful
Great place to walk/run. Long trails some dirt some paved, easy 2-6 miles depending which way you take.
Love the new updates on the park!
Just be carefull with Copperhead snakes crossing trails at dawn .
Had a great time with my daughter at the park today! Beautiful weather to have a picnic!
We held our annual Trinity in the Park service today (June 3, 2018) at the pavilion at Kiwanis Family Park. On behalf of Trinity Lutheran Church, thanks to Parks and Recreation for such a nice facility.
Best wedding ever
Very nice to take a long walk
