| Description: |
|
This park is located 5 miles West of I-4 off State Road 46 on Lake Markham Road. This is a 126-acre park with a 188-acre lake adjacent to the park known as Sylvan Lake. Sylvan has become a soccer lover's delight, with a sport training facility and 6 soccer fields. This site has been a host to many national and international soccer teams - most notably the United States Women's soccer team.
Soccer Field
Along with the excitement that is brought about with soccer, this park offers passive activities such as picnicking, playgrounds, fishing, boating (hand carried only), pavilions, and site seeing from elevated boardwalks throughout the park. For more active recreation, tennis, wallyball racquetball, sand volleyball, football/soccer, and an exercise/jogging trail is available.
All this is incorporated in a truly rustic old Florida setting. Yes, there are even tennis lessons for adults and youth taught at Sylvan Lake Park. Contact the park at 407-665-2180, or email sylvan@seminolecountyfl.gov, for specific information on programs or facilities you are interested in. |
