Limona Park

Limona Park

This park at 1316 Lakewood Drive in Brandon is different from any other park in Hillsborough County. First of all – its location. It's situated in a deep depression around two ponds with gentle slopes around it. There are a few picnic tables and grilles, and plenty of wood.

But Limona Park is also home to the first public disc golf course in Hillsborough County, opened in 2005. Disc Golf is a game played like conventional ball and club golf; however, instead of hitting a little ball around the course into a little hole you throw discs into elevated baskets. The 9-hole par 27 course with driving pads and basket placements resides among the rolling hills and giant oak trees in the 10-acre park.

The course runs through a wooded area that is very challenging when the trees obscure the line of sight. The initial holes lead the player past first pond and over a slope before leading back into the wooded area towards the rear of the park where another smaller pond resides. The most enjoyable playing aspect of the course is the terrain changes that lead the player down deep depressions and up steep hills around the pond. We see many times visitors playing here (it is free). Enthusiasts run once a week, (sometimes twice-weekly) clubs and tournaments at the park.

The park is a great place to spend time with family and find new friends. Did we play? Not yet. We simply enjoyed BBQ at a shaded picnic table.
