Lehigh Acres Trailhead Park

Lehigh Acres Trailhead Park is a scenic outdoor recreational facility located in Lehigh Acres, FL. It offers a 0.5-mile paved multi-use trail that encircles a 3-acre replicated prairie, providing a picturesque setting for walkers, joggers, cyclists, and skaters. The park also features a HealthBeat Outdoor Fitness System with 4 multi-use fitness stations, allowing visitors aged 13 and above to enjoy a workout in the great outdoors. Leashed dog walking is permitted on the trail, and the park emphasizes the importance of responsible pet waste management to protect water quality. The park's design incorporates the original topography of an old golf course, preserving existing trees and palms while introducing a diverse range of native plant species to enhance wildlife habitat.

With plans to become a trailhead for a greenway corridor along Able Canal, Lehigh Acres Trailhead Park showcases adaptive reuse by repurposing part of the former golf course. The park's sustainable practices include manmade rain gardens that capture and filter runoff, eco-friendly materials used in the construction of outdoor fitness areas and boardwalk observation areas, and the incorporation of recycled plastics and rubber tires. The park is easily accessible, with a public bus stop located nearby, providing an opportunity for visitors to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by ride-sharing. Lehigh Acres Trailhead Park offers a unique outdoor experience that combines fitness, nature, and environmental stewardship.
