The Caroline Crossing Park situated along Hampton Crossing was deeded to the Lake Caroline Owner’s Association in 2007 for the purpose of natural drainage, a bird arboretum and walking trail.  It is comprised of an 11 acre wooded area containing a 1 mile walking path, a pollinator garden, a children’s Little Library and a playground. Benches are located along the walking path for rest or just to sit and enjoy watching the many species of birds that live in the park. 

 

The LCOA Park Committee focuses attention on the park consistent with the LCOA’s practice of continually upgrading its amenities. The natural environment will be maintained. The Committee is united in its resolve to be fiscally responsible by utilizing volunteers, seeking competitive bids on projects and using native plants. The objectives of the Park Committee’s plan are to:

 

1.     preserve the ecosystem of the park by providing a natural habitat for birds and butterflies encompassing native plantings to include a butterfly/pollinator garden

2.     provide educational opportunities for children and adults utilizing wildlife and horticultural speakers

3.     increase residents’ mental and physical well-being by providing locations which stimulate the senses of touch, smell, hearing, and sight

4.     promote enjoyment of the park’s walking path.
