Parks & Recreation

Step off the beaten path of tourism and crowded subdivisions into the gentle quiet of Poinciana. Discover a community with 18,000-acres of tree-shrouded lakes and wooded nature preserves complemented by a host of recreational amenities for kids of all ages.

You’ll find playgrounds and neighborhood parks with playing fields for baseball, softball, soccer and cricket. And the new, multi-million-dollar Poinciana Athletic Center is a 10,000-square-foot multi-purpose facility with something for everyone. You’ll also find neighborhood fitness trails and courts for basketball, tennis and racquetball. The new Deerwood Park, a 35-acre, state-of-the-art sports and recreation complex opened in 2007.

There’s always something to do here. Perhaps your family enjoys horseback riding on wooded trails, watching colorful birds and wildlife, or exploring the natural splendor Central Florida has to offer. Maybe they prefer canoeing, boating or fishing on a network of lakes including one of Florida’s largest and most famous, Lake Tohopekalegia. Home to the Nature Conservancy’s 12,000-acre Disney Wilderness Preserve, a number of multi-purpose sports and recreation complexes, a YMCA, a 200-acre Environmental Study Center, Poinciana has something to offer every member of your family.
