Charlie Wheeler Park is located near Deerwood Elementary School and features playing fields for softball and Little League and Senior baseball, plus a children’s playground beneath huge oak trees. Used extensively by "kids of all ages'', the parks provide a real sense of community by allowing residents, both young and young at heart, to enjoy activities together and share common experiences.
One of the keys to planning Poinciana's successful community lifestyle was providing recreational facilities targeted at satisfying the activity needs of its growing family market.
The aim was to provide families with a centrally located complex and satellite support facilities throughout the community where residents could enjoy the benefits of communal recreation and exercise in a neighbor-hood setting.
