Avoid the Shell Factory.

This was once the premier attraction in the area but has not been taken care of over the years and is in a state of disrepair.

Cape Coral has an excellent Parks Department.

Our favorites are Joe Stonis Park and Saratoga Lake Park. Joe Stonis Park has a playground that is fun for younger and older children. Saratoga Lake Park has a great playground for younger children along with a pretty lake view and partially shaded walking path. The best time to visit the parks is in the morning, early afternoon or evening. The playground equipment does get hot from the sun during the middle of the day.
