venetian gardens park

The gardens are beautiful, came upon them by chance several years ago. Rarely disappointed with wildlife here. Always something to see, Well maintained, very pretty with the Lake at the side. The walk is great, and the birds oblige with their antics.

A very nice place for relaxing where you can find ducks and pigeons. You can have a nice walk over there.

Stopped in to check on my favorite Lake County park today and I'm happy to report that it's even better now than it was my last review. The city of Leesburg has outdone itself. Venetian Gardens is absolutely amazing! They rebuilt the wooden bridges and all the waterways have been cleared. The park is spectacular! Between the landscape and wildlife, this is the most Zen park I've ever been to. Venetian Gardens includes several landscaped islands separated by tranquil, meandering canals. Sidewalks, pavilion, benches and seven wooden bridges are very popular with runners, cyclists and nature-lovers. Great place to meditate, or just relax and have a picnic. Ski Beach has picnic tables, outdoor grills, sand volleyball courts and a beautiful waterfront popular among fishing enthusiasts. I highly recommend visiting Venetian Gardens.

This park is a wonderful, relaxing place for a walk. On the water, nice trails, people fishing, families having fun, birds - fun!

Leesburg really out does itself at Christmas and we go annually to check out the Christmas lights and the Boat parade.

We returned to Venetian Gardens Park after our lovely visit last year and it was as enjoyable and beautiful as we remembered. This is a wonderful area to visit any time of the day, but sunrises and sunsets are especially nice - a great place to begin and end a day. Whether you are there to fish, walk the trail of bridges, birdwatch, or visit the marina you will find beauty all around. The park feels quite safe. It is clean as well.

Saw this first during Christmas and decorated to to hilt. Had a fair at night and beautiful lights and people. Wildlife everywhere including Wood Ducks. One of my favorites. Nice view of the lake. Town nearby. Benches and walkways. Various ponds and wetlands with bridges. Nice

Venetian Gardens ParViews of A Park On A LakeVenetian Gardens Park is not your average run of the mill park, for one thing it is located smack dab in the middle of a city (Leesburg, Florida) and it has a lake sitting next to it. Venetian Gardens Park is a beautiful 64 acre park located on the west shore of Lake Harris.One day while driving to see my cardiologist who has an office on the shore of Lake Harris I just happened to look past the street, traffic, trees, offices, and noticed a very large park area with an even larger lake on the other side of the park.It was easy to drive into the area adjacent to the park, found a parking place without being charged for the space, got out and walked into the park which had no fence or toll to keep me from entering. There were walking paths, walking bridges, areas to fish from (bridges and banks) lots of water fowl and other sorts of birds, views of the trees, water way, and Lake Harris. Walking the entire 64 acres was easy, did not seem like it took that long because I was so involved with the birds, views, talking to others in the park and of course taking pictures of all I saw.If you like free attractions, beautiful views, birds, water fowl, and just relaxing you should head for Leesburg, Florida and Venetian Gardens Park.

This beautiful park on the shores of Lake Harris in center Leesburg is a perfect spot on a nice day for a wedding. I had the privilege of walking my niece down the aisle so to speak (actually it was across a bridge and into a gazebo where the minister awaited us. Chairs on either side of the aisle marked our walk and unfortunately a black tux on a very hot May day was just awful. The bride was gorgeous and her mother (my sister) actually was the one to give the bride away. The scenery of the park made for beautiful wedding pictures. Many birds in the background and flowers in bloom and even one lazy alligator joined the procession. The park is usually a very quiet place where you can bring your drink, a good book and really relax. It would be nice if they had some sort of a snack bar included in this park as it would draw a few more people. A top notch restaurant built to fit in, would make this place!! This questionnaire asks when did we visit and only allows us to go back to December 2013....well, it was long before that but this place has not changed one bit in all that time.

Since moving here we live to go out on our boat. Lake Harris has the best boat launch in the area. We have gone out several years to get a front row to the fireworks set off on the island. During the Christmas season, the park has an absolutely beautiful light show that goes throughout the entire area, it such a beautiful stroll and the music and lights are just breath taking. I would recommend this especially to families with children.

The park is pretty and has lots of birds and nature. It could use more in the way of services such as restaurants, or some kind of food. It would draw more people from the community to the park.

Nice park on lake Harris near Leesburg center. Fireworks at holidays and Christmas decorations. Playground.

Lots of wildlife activity here. Many birds, ducks, squirrels, turtles, gators, etc. Nicely designed right on Lake Harris. Walking paths with wooden bridges over canals, park benches, and picnic tables. Decent bathroom facilities with water fountains. Not usually very crowded which is a bonus. Great park to just relax in and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Bring a loaf of bread to feed the ducks. You will be very popular in a quickness!

I live about 10 miles from here and whenever I want to go back to nature I come here. Its walking trails are handicap friendly and the bird population is great-bring a few slices of bread and you are a king. The walkway is along side of Lake Harris -bridges to go over the small ponds and many benches just to take it all in. If you are at the Leesburg Hospital and need to take a breather it is very close.

This is a beautiful park right in the heart of Leesburg FL that has awesome boat ramp access to Lake Harris, in addition to just being a beautiful park for walking, picnicking, fishing,etc. and has the city run pool on property, as well, as the baseball park for college baseball in the summers. There is also a marina and many other benefits.....not to mention the decorations/lighting at Christmas time and the fireworks on the 4th of July with food and other vendors.
