SANCA @ Nathan Benderson Park Reviews

Every town should have one of these places. Love it, great place to meet and train with friends.

This is a beautiful park and rowing facility. I have worked triathlons held here. Fantastic team that runs the place!

Love this park and my sweet little boy does too...Ty Benderson family!!

Beautiful views. Great running and biking paths. Awesome location to row.

Great place to just breath! Very Serene, good fishing, and lots of good people that hang out there. So if you want to be alone it's perfect, if you want to talk to people it's also perfect. Lots of great rowing events as well

National rowing facility with paved walking, skating and bicycle paths. It's 3.2 miles around.

Small playground. Olympic rowing park with a trail around the perimeter of the lake. Good way to spend an afternoon but there are more interesting parks in the area.

Absolutely beautiful in every way. The walking path and water makes the walk so enjoyable.

Reviewing specifically the kids playground: this place is awesome for the very young set. If you ve got toddlers that are just walking, this is the place for you. Lots of little things for them to do, rubber flooring, one gate that locks. Older kids will enjoy it, too, but it s especially great for littles. Only drawback: no shade. Like, none, unless you re there very early or very late. Benderson can surely afford some shade sails to make this park more useable in the summer and in the heat of the day.

Nice place for events and exercise. I only wish there were picnic tables.

Nathan Benderson Park is a very nice place to get some exercise in. They also host rowing competitions.

Great park with really nice running and biking trails around the lake.

This is very nice set up for riding bikes around the lake. You also can bring the dog for a nice long walk.

Beautiful lake for taxes, and great facilities, including a shiny new tower, but the fields used for event parking are basically mud pits- not fun to slog through! Relatively few mosquitos, though, and fireworks were great. Parking is cheap, but it took 45 minutes to get out after event.

Nice area for a walk, run or cycling - well maintained, clean and not very busy. Sun can be too much during the day, go after sunset, the sky and sunset color can be quite spectacular after heavy rain - all in all it's a nice, relaxing place.

There's nothing here but rowboats , rowboats everywhere I look , really really long rowboats

Great Place to walk or run They have rowing as well kids park and have events often

Great venue, very well organized and laid out. Also very hot!

Love the outdoors and the park offer walking/ running and biking trail. Has an area for the young ones and a mall on the opposite street. Many shops before you get to the park. Enjoy, you'll love it.

The firework show was ok but the traffic getting out sucked

Run down for being new. Everything is faded. They should have put up sails first.

Great place to work out. 3 mile walk around a lake

The layout is great. Clean and plenty of parking spaces.

Came to the fireworks show - a plethora of people directing traffic when collecting our $5 to park. After the show? Not a traffic director in sight. Total awful mayham.

We all love watching the fire works but the tables has spiders and my neice got bit bye one so just becareful there full of spiders

Beautiful park. Has trails all around it. You can drive all the way around it or park near the county building for the playground or a bench in the center.

However, most of the park is in the sun. This includes the playground. All of the parking is in the sun.

Very nice area. Good fishing, water quality seems good, landscaping is nice.

A park to optimize the ways we visit it: walking, biking, sculling; only a swimming area is missing. Easy access, ok parking - not enough handicap spaces. The play area has sufficient shade now. Other areas could use it.

Well kept park with long walking paths, rowing, and more. Plenty of parking

Very quiet and good parking. Many people like to walk or run the perimeter of the lake. About 5k or roughly 3.3 miles.
Lots to do on the lake... Kayak or fishing and a children's playground. Check the paper for other things going on. Also bathrooms available.

No shade, no benches to sit or tables to eat from. Event last weekend.... misleading. Great charity, just not clear what Drinks included with $10 upcharge ... not clarified until inside and $$ paid. Free samples of Craft beer for the extra$$. Ok. Not really. I. Don't. Drink. Beer. Esp. not draft at 12 noon just saying!!! Free food samples were skimpy and ... not clear that food was not included. Hmmm.

Beautiful place. Relaxing and enjoyable. Well manicured, green areas. Well maintained picnic tables.

Really long walking paths, ideal for runners/walkera & bikers, large lake for rowing.

Nice large park to do some running, walking, biking, or rollerblading. Bring your dog to play lakeside or your kids to the shaded playground.

Only complaint is that it could use 1 or 2 more permanent restrooms/water fountains on the south side of the lake. Otherwise, great area.

I enjoyed bicycle riding around the lake and bringing a beach chair and a book a little sandwich when I'm done

One of the best places to train and speed skate in the state of Florida

Seems like a nice enough Park. when they're hosting a big event like fireworks on the lake they need to be on social media with real time updates to keep people apprised on weather status, traffic and revised band schedules and parking lot availability above and below water. Its really not that hard.

The July 4th event was great. Greg Billings put on a great show . Was a very good fireworks display. In spite of the weather. food and other offerings were well priced. They had plenty of staff to help assist parking. However, they had no staff to assist the egress of the event. One police officer was managing all Lanes of traffic at the apex of the exit point. In the meantime, all the other intersections of egress on the property we're not managed. Took us over 45 minutes to leave and we were in the car shortly after the fireworks ended. My advice to the patronage of future events is to observe the amount of people parked there and ask some of the staff if there is going to be traffic direction deep within the parking lot before you exit. At least it will give you an idea of how to plan when you leave the event.

Nice place to go walk around the lake with your family, decent park for the kids. Family events.

Love this park! Great for biking, rollerblading, walking, and running!

This place is huge, it has 2 long trails you can take. Walking, running, cycling, and skating is what people usually do there. You can also take your dogs. On occasions you can see the rowing teams practicing or on their competitions. The lake is clean but at times there are pieces of trash scattered around. The park is also close to UTC so its nice. It gets somewhat quiet at nights due to low traffic on 75. Only thing that I didn't like is that there are snakes there, so be careful going near any pond or wooded area. Overall it's a good place to go and unwind.

it's a nice place to go for a walk or just relax. sculling competition happens several times a year and it's interesting to watch but you lose that
quiet peacefulness on those days

Very beautiful and a great place to walk and ride a bike

The entrance off Honore is closed for construction vehicles only (GPS coordinates 27.35921,-82.459651). Instead you must enter off North Cattleman Rd (near 27.37577,-82.449834). Took us a good 20 minutes to drive all the way around once we noticed the closure.

The facilities are still under construction, but you can already enjoy the park. Use caution parking in non-paved areas as you can get stuck.

Nik Wallenda is currently practicing for his tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon here. You can see him until 6/19/13 for free and get his autograph. Just visit his website for details.
