William F Sheffield Regional Park

William G Sheffield Regional Park is a massive outdoor space with two large bodies of water ideal for swimming or kayaking, also large walking trails, basketball courts, tennis courts, huge playground and lots of rope swings. This is a great parking to spend hours in nature.

I'm from seminole, florida up here for the holidays and went to sheffield park. I was very disappointed in the lake.It's like it's dead. Dead fish off the little dock.No vegetation in the lake itself.It's like they don't have any oxygen. a nice water fountain and some vegetation to produce oxygen and make it a lively lake.

Great park! My kids love this place. I do wish there were bathrooms closer to the playground. That's where we mostly hang out. We also just found the new pickleball courts and love them!

We visited on Saturday. Beautiful park and lake but the bathrooms were so disgusting 🤮 Trash was overflowing and it reaked of cigarettes and feces. Nasty used toilet paper everywhere. My daughter and I couldn't use the bathroom. I would not recommend hosting a gathering here because of the bathrooms situation.
