Lakes Regional Park (often called Lakes Park) is a 279-acre public park located along Gladiolus Drive (CR 865) just south of Fort Myers Florida. It opened on April 21 1984 and is operated by the Lee County Department of Parks and Recreation. The park was named after its main feature: 158 acres of man-made freshwater lakes. The lakes were formed by a rock mine that operated on the property in the 1960s.
