About the Lakes
Park Enrichment
Foundation
The Lakes Park Enrichment Foundation was established in
2004
as a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) charitable organization by a group
of Lee County
business leaders along with dedicated citizens who
recognize Lakes
Park as an extremely important green area in
Lee County. The
foundation is dedicated to helping restore
Lakes Park to a native
Florida wildlife environment through assisting
Lee County Parks & Recreation
with the implementation of its
$30 million master
plan, which was adopted by the Lee County Board
of Commissioners in April 2004.
A Cooperative Agreement has been entered into between the
foundation and
the county where the county has agreed to allow
the foundation to coordinate
and provide services toward projects
that fall under the master plan.
The Foundation has approved several projects in the park for 2012, they are; A Wildlife Viewing Station, A Vertical Bromeliad Garden, and New and Improved Signage including a "What's In Bloom" information board for the Fragrance Garden.
