I'm from seminole, florida up here for the holidays and went to sheffield park. I was very disappointed in the lake.It's like it's dead. Dead fish off the little dock.No vegetation in the lake itself.It's like they don't have any oxygen. a nice water fountain and some vegetation to produce oxygen and make it a lively lake.

Great park! My kids love this place. I do wish there were bathrooms closer to the playground. That's where we mostly hang out. We also just found the new pickleball courts and love them!

Overview: The park is a nice size getaway for the day. Many people love to bring their dogs and walk in the big open field next to a small lake. You can play basketball, go fishing off a small dock and play whatever game you want in a few large open areas. What to know: There are restrooms in the front and rear of the park. The basketball courts are in good condition. The nice ample space next to the lake that you can venture about. I have seen people fish in the lake, so bring a poll—a good amount of parking along with a playground for the kids. The Oceanway Sports Association is located in the back. The gates are closed unless there is an event going on. There was a bit of trash lying around the last time i visited. It takes all of us to keep things clean.
