Was a great place to bring the pup an chill nice and quiet and even saw a bunny

Nice little playground, a large covered area with picnic tables, a basketball court, shuffleboard court, bathrooms, a short paved trail, and a lovely, long unpaved forest trail that lets you get several cool views of Philippi Creek.

This is the most beautiful Park Ive ever been to. There are beautiful blooming Wild mushrooms everywhere

This is a beautiful, tranquil, peaceful place to walk quietly around. Its not huge and it doesnt take long to walk around, but I go super slowly and tiptoe sometimes in case theres an owl! We have seen barred owls here and theyre adorable. Also Cardinals, blue grey gnatcatchers and tufted titmice. Its lovely. There is a restroom outside here too.

Its great place safe and clean

Its a small park but with many nice trails (but the only along the creek is dangerous).

Great fenced in park, caneo & boat launch, nature trail in the back as well as a jogging trail. It has a large covered picnic area, mostly shaded by big Oak trees. Plenty of parking.

Nice quiet park, clean bathrooms, great play equipment

Amazing place I loved running the trails

Lovely nature walk (dogs not allowed) complete with wildlife including owls and alligators on occasion. Gathering area with pavilion, picnic area, toilets, playground, shuffleboard courts and walking path (dogs welcome). A nice neighborhood park.

This was a beautiful walk through the flora. We saw 5 storks, a kingfisher, vultures, cardinals and heard but did not see the barred owl. I would highly recommend!

Great place to see nature

Very short rustic hiking trails. No real bike trails.

Wonderful peaceful walk in the city. Also the possibility of setting barred owls.

I love going to Florida

The whole of pinecraft is quaint and cute; the people and atmosphere here are very kind and inviting. The park itself was no different, with big clean restrooms, nice areas for the kids to play, big pavilions and since most of the locals walk or ride bikes, plenty of parking.

This was a surprise trail that goes on forever! Please bring a trash bag to help keep the park clean.

Great little park with covered area with tables. Enjoy watching shuffle board being played.

Great trails, wish it was bigger!

The Mesic Hammock Trail that runs adjacent to Philippi Creek at the back of the park is a short but thoroughly interesting walk through Florida habitat.

Great place. Has swings and shuffle board. But let it be know shuffle board is not open on Sundays

Never had been here before, stepping g back in time

Cool park not that big but it does have a volley ball net and basketball court. Theres als a small trail towards the back part of park where you park at takes you mabe 20 minutes to walk the trail very calm and relaxing good meditation spot

Beautiful park. The banyon tree is incredible.

Very cool spot to put in your kayak and head down the creek. Plan on going one-way only as you will not be able to make it back up river as there are a couple of make-shift dams you will go over. The creek was high due to a recent rain so it was a fun trip.

Beautiful park with swings & fenced playground and hardly anyone knows its here! Trees provide quite a bit of shade, picnic table near park and there is a picnic pavilion and restrooms close by

Better than I expected!

This is a hidden treasure. So many cool trails up and down for exercise. Not very big, but I loved this place.

Its a good little park!

Nice trails!

A cool little nature hike hidden with in the city. Playground area for kids of all ages. Covered picnic benches. Bathrooms

I surely lot of respect for management cuz it rules apply to everyone some changing something for the and is be coming the best my mom has lived there for many years and is very happy now

Nice friendly park located in the Mennonite/Amish community. Plenty for the kids and adults to enjoy. Basketball and volleyball courts. Shuffleboard, playground, swings, walking and nature trails.

This refers to the Palms Exec Golf Course..nice little course which I joined and generally play twice a week. I walk the course rather than cart it playing nine each day..worth the investment for me and I recommend it for people who want a similar experience.

Boat ramp needs work like other things around the park. Perfect if you love to people watch but the park is indeed very small. Its in a quiet community but I would still my lock my doors and hide your valuables when you walk around. If you want to watch a bit of nature or watch people then youve come to a good spot.

Fun lil park with tons to do, nice nature trails, basketball corts, covered pavilion and some playgrounds. Always a good time at pinecraft

Really fun place to hang out

Good place to take awalk

A tale of two different parks. During the winter/tourist season this a wonderful park. At this time Pinecraft is a safe and wonderful park with a real down home wholesome feel. Unfortunately during the summer/off season the park changes. True some of the same people are still there (at lower numbers) but unfortunately the number of homeless and/or undesirable folks loitering goes up. Its important to note that Ive never felt unsafe at the park regardless of what time of the year.As a side note, the little woodsy walking trail is great and very popular with bird watchers.

Nice family friendly park play volleyball in the sand and basketball,, has a Creek running through their, has a woods that we took a hike in, they say once in a while youll see alligators there though we never seen any, but my friends have

Great for bird watching. No dogs allowed although I was almost attacked by someones dog today which they had off leash. Quiet Oasis in the middle of a neighborhood. Perfect sized Park. Trails not marked but Id say its impossible to get lost.

Cute quiet park. Pavilion with large bbq grill and covered picnic table area. Restrooms

No place like Pinecraft in Febuary where Snowbirds come to play and stay out of the ice and snow.

Great place to be at with friends over Christmas time

I went on a nature hike in this park. The park is very small. It runs along the creek. There are some amenities, such as restrooms, a playground, and basketball court. It seems to be well maintained and well used by residents in the surrounding neighborhood.

Nice area to relax and spend time with your family and friends. Large covered pavilion area with plenty of tables to host an event. My family came down for Thanksgiving and it was nice to not have everyone crammed in my small apartment.

Always peaceful. Great kayaking spot.

Awesome hidden treasure! But why no dogs allowed?

Rare moment. Only 3 people there. One from Ohio and 2 from Indiana. Very unusual but very peaceful. Late in season. Most all Amish gone home.

Decent park, come see all the Amish play shuffle board,volleyball,basketball,or bocce ball!

If you like watching Amish people play shuffle board this is THE place to go! You can also go watch younger people play volleyball after dark, which I would recommend over shuffle board! Also has a nice basketball area but needs a fence around it bad!

Stopped by Yoders produce for some fresh produce. Great selection and quality fruit and vegetables from local farmers. Also take time and stop by the restaurant and enjoy some great authentic Amish foods. Make sure you finish off you experience with their world renowned pies, that are absolutely delicious. No time for a sit down meal then duck into their market for home made pre prepped dinners and some great dessert options as well. The historic Amish area of Sarasota is a must stop area for visitors and locals alike.

Pinecraft is a very nice clean fun park for the kids and family

Amazing place to see some wildlife

Excellent restroom site.

Great place to fish & take photos

LOVELY natural oasis with hiking trails, a childrens playground & covered pavilion with restrooms.

A nice quiet place in the epicenter of Sarasotas Amish community. During the winter months theres all sorts of activities taking place.

If you want to see Amish this is the place to go

Entertaining place to oversee amish n Mennonite s, to watch a few grumpy old men take their suffleboard game seriuosly

Its awesome i love it and miss it ready, this was oneof the main points of my childhood

This park is great for family fun and small trails that you can actually see a huge bee nest and I have seen a big owl.

Perty good park if u can put up with lots of people lol

Nice park for playing shuffleboard, beach volleyball, and talking to the Amish. Nice playground for the kids too.

A secret place in the middle of Amish country. Great for birding

THE place for Amish and Mennonites to hang out, visit and play shuffle board.

Nice place to meet plain people

Nice park, except for loud drunks at the pavillion,

Great little park with lots to do like a walking trail, kayak launch, kids play area and lots more.

Great park. Good for basketball, volleyball and shuffleboard. Has playground for the kids.

Its a lot of fun playing shuffle board on the well kept courts.

This is a very busy place in winter time! People are playing Shuffleboard, Bocca Ball, Checkers, Basketball, Corn Toss bag and Volleyball. They even have a Shuffleboard tournament on Wednesday evenings during the winter months.

Great community park on a river. Good for picnicking, bird watching, and short hikes in the woods.

There are always lots of fun people there

Peaceful place in the summer n in the winter you meet a lot of nice people

Good place to meet new people... Amish at the shuffle board and more

Strawberry pie yum

If you like to be around a lot of people then this is the place for you.....

Great park with great people and very safe. Huge Shuffleboard tournaments.

Great park. Basketball, shuffle board, walking paths, restrooms, pavilion,playground

Shuffleboard, Basketball, sand volleyball, playground area. Theres always something happening. Decent basketball court, but the rims are horrible

Small park with a little boat ramp. Picnic tables, woods with a trail.

Beautiful

Love it, my dog loves it too.

A lot if rude Amish people that just sit in the road so you have to honk you horn in their face for them to move other than that the park is great and their trail walk is even better
