Manatee
Park Description:
Fort Myers is the home of one of the largest populations of manatees in Florida, particularly in the winter when they congregate in the Orange River to feed and stay warm.
Opened in 1996, this 17 acre Regional Park is built and
operated through a cooperative effort of partners &
sponsors. While the land is owned by Florida Power &
Light, money for facilities came from the Lee Island
Coast Visitor & Convention Bureau.
Manatee Park is a non-captive refuge for the Florida
Manatee. Manatees are generally not present during the
warm summer months. The park has an extensive butterfly
garden. The park is a demonstration landscape for the
Florida Yards and Neighborhoods (FYN) program. Picnic
areas & shelters, fishing pier on the Orange River.
Canoe/kayak launch to the Orange River. Program
amphitheater and playground.
