IN WOOTON PARK
A
A new generation of Lake County children has rediscovered Tavares’ historic Wooton Park after a seaplane themed splash park was added when the park was revitalized a few years ago.
The “splash pad,” complete with a colorful water-spewing seaplane sculpture, brought new life to the 6-acre park on Ruby Street. From the park, you can ride in a vintage train car, rent a kayak, take a boat cruise, get spooked on a ghost tour, or just enjoy watching seaplanes land on Lake Dora.
Entry fee to the splash park is $2, and proper bathing suit attire must be worn.

Take a backseat, water aerobics; with standup paddleboard yoga, the world becomes your studio.
