I’m proud to share with both our residents and visitors alike all of the wonderful parks that exist in Collier County. Fall is a perfect time of the year in Parks & Recreation southwest Florida. We begin to see the first of our seasonal Administration visitors return, the children have returned to school and involved in fall activities, and while we don’t have a major change in the ort Collier Regional Park foliage, we do begin to see some cooler temperatures. This fall, take time out to visit the new Donna Fiala Community Center; the facility opened this past May and is getting rave 5000 i ingston Road reviews. The fitness center has the latest equipment; our VPK room will provide service to the younger crowd, or take a class at our new community room. Take a moment too to aples 34 09 walk the preserve behind the center to see one of the best birding locations in the state. 239 252 4000 Bring your binoculars and tell us the number of species you identify. Also ask the staff about the progress on the pool that is coming to that location soon.
