Hello city of pinagorda, this is pinagorda's place to play and welcome to the 18th video update in this update. I will be talking to you about regional parks, but before we get started, what is a regional park?

A regional park can be a special park district covering a region crossing several jurisdiction boundaries or a park system of a single jurisdiction such as a province, county or city regional park. Amenities are provided by charlotte county community services for the city of punta gorda, an adjacent unincorporated community by the south county regional park. Let's check it out located in the heart of punta gorda between carmelita and cooper street lies the 84.3 acre south county regional park.
