Confirmed from Depot Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Relaxing outdoor space featuring a playground and river access for fishing and kayaking.
What runners say about Depot Park
“Beautiful park with a dock for manatee watching and a lovely walking bridge over the water.”
“The playground is well kept, the water area is amazing, and you have a bunch of shade areas to rest”
“I didn't get to see much of the park but did see a lot of people walking, biking, and dog walking while I was there.”
Great kayak and canoe launch on the Imperial River. Free!! A short walk from drop off to the river. The bathroom is near the children’s playground. Plenty of parking.
Beautiful park with a dock for manatee watching and a lovely walking bridge over the water. Nice place to just chilax. There is an abundant variety of tropical trees, peace and quiet. There is an enclosed play area for the kids and all other area is dog friendly. Good parking and close to shops and restaurants.
We thoght we were going to the dog park, but it is NOT a dog park... fun area that was fenced in, but very small area for climbing on for kids, but there is tons of space to play soccer or have kids run and feel safe if little. Lots of shade and a water fountain and benches. Recommend for 12 and under :)
Beautiful park in downtown Bonita springs. My son had his first birthday here and it was the perfect spot. I use to walk my dog here everyday. You can go fishing and also picnics!! You can drive your car down near the bridge and enjoy the scenery. Just a short walk and tons of shade.

“It has a cool man made hill, a lion water fountain, beams to balance on and some older gentlemen playing chess under a covered pavilion.”
