popular focus of neighborhood life enjoyed by all.
Lakewood Ranch Parks.
Trails
At Lakewood Ranch, pedestrian trails form a network that can take
you from one end of the community to another, often through some of
Florida’s most beautiful and unspoiled natural settings. Residents
can walk, jog, bike or rollerblade from one place to another along
more than 100 miles of connecting trails and sidewalks! The
extensive pedestrian system starts with four-foot sidewalks in each
neighborhood which link to five, eight, and 12-foot sidewalks along
throughways and common areas. Soft trails of mulch or grass leading
to the nature areas, waterways, lakes and preserves connect to the
sidewalk system. Special features such as wooden bridges and
educational signage enhance the trails making every outing a fun as
well as healthy experience
