    Lakes
    • Amelia Earhart Park
      The five lakes at Amelia make this 515-acre park one of our largest water-based resources. You can fish in all five lakes, angle for bass, brim and mullet, and go paddle boating or canoeing on three of them. The swimming lake and beach are a popular area for a capacity crowd of 200 people. The Bill Graham Farm Village at the park even has its own Babbling Brook stocked with fish.

    • Larry and Penny Thompson Park
      Not many folks know that Larry and Penny has a beautiful 20-acre swimming lake with a waterslide and and a sandy beach for basking in the sun. It's open daily during the summer, and is fully lifeguarded.

    • Tropical Park
      Tropical, one of our largest and most complete sports oriented parks, has four separate lakes. The freshwater fishing lake is stocked with large-mouthed bass, bluegill, catfish and more, and hosts frequent fishing contests. The large swimming lake has a white sand beach, lifeguards; and is close to concession stands and restrooms. People enjoy paddle boating on the boating lake, or racing small radio-controlled vessels. A nice surprise for visitors is the hidden lake, tucked away in a quiet corner of the park.
