Pembroke Meadows Lake Park

Pembroke Meadows Lake Park is a small and hidden park. It appears that neighbors don't like traffic with several of those "neighborhood watch" signs. The park is thick on trees so the park doesn't appear to be cleaned up as often. This park feels more like a private community park in a residential area.

If there is a contest for most difficult VB city park to locate this would be in the running. The beautiful neighborhood park is not only scenic, but is almost always dead even Summer weekends.So let's get down to logistics. The park is in Bayside, around a mile East from Pembroke Meadows school on a dead end Pembroke Blvd. Pembroke Meadows Recreation Center is directly across the street.The park offers a beautiful water view with a canopy of beautiful tall pines for shade. There are around a half dozen picnic tables and a few charcoal grills. A drawback is no shelter, or restroom facilities.In the center is a small kids play area for 12&U which I find hard to believe a child over 9 would enjoy. It's in great shape and offers a curly slide and two small slides. There are also climbing elements. Also offered are swings for both toddlers and older children.Now from a nervous parents perspective. Also from a guy that lives at pools and preaches water safety. You MUST be extremely diligent when bringing small children to this park. Especially if they cannot swim and prone to gravitate to water. There is one large area that you can just walk right out in knee depth water and does get deeper.Come check this quaint city park out. Just don't tell the neighbors know I let cat out of the bag.
