more! This is truly a jewel in the Florida Keys. Here are just
some of the activities you will find at Founders Park.

This wonderful place is located less than one mile from our
house. A lot of people ride their bikes or golf cars instead of
driving. You can also run over by boat, anchor up just off the
beach and swim on over. Our family has enjoyed many days at
Founders Park as well as many events held here each year. Our
favorite is the Fourth of July fireworks celebration. You can
anchor up and sit in your boat to watch the fireworks. It's
really a treat for the whole family.
