Located off the banks of Little Lake Henderson, this neighborhood park offers a scenic view of the Tsala Apopka chain of lakes. It is located in a quiet residential area off Turner Camp Road.
There is a "lagoon" with an old swinging rope when the water below used to be a little deeper. The rope now sways in the gentle breezes that rustle the leaves of the surrounding oak and cypress trees.
The overhead canopy offers a shaded retreat from the hot summer months, and is perfect for reading that favorite novel, or just enjoying the view.
With its gently sloping banks, a canoe or kayak could easily be put in here.
Facilities Available:
Besides a great view of the chain of lakes, Hillcrest Park offers lakefront picnic tables, grills and bank fishing.
Wildlife Watch:
The park is home to several species of birds, along with squirrels and other wildlife.
An occasional alligator may decide to pay a visit in the lagoon, though that's on rare occasions.
