The Landing & Community Garden at Wellen Park

The Landing on Grand Lake 

Situated on Grand Lake in Wellen Park, The Landing is a can’t-miss spot across the lake from Downtown Wellen’s restaurant and business attractions. A stunning structure right on the water, The Landing is great for fishing, launching and docking kayaks, or getting some shade on a hot Southwest Florida day. 

The shade structure has a built-in bench for those fishing, running, walking, or biking, so it serves a great practical purpose. The Landing was also designed with aesthetics in mind with it being stunning by day and by night.

One of its main uses is, of course, fishing. Wellen Park’s Grand Lake is filled with fish from the largemouth bass to the threadfin shad and is one of a few perfect fishing spots centrally located on the lake. 

Bait and tackle can be found close by at the local Kind Vibes Outfitters for purchase. Visitors can also rent bikes at Kind Vibes to take you from one side of Grand Lake — along a 3-mile loop trail encircling the lake — to the other side where this fishing pier is located. 

The magic of technology also allows anglers to map out their strategy in the time-honored quest of not letting the big fish get away. A QR code at the red marker near downtown’s floating dock provides a smartphone link to preview and animate the lake’s variety of fish species.

The Harvest Community Garden

The Harvest Community Garden in Wellen Park will offer 97 raised irrigated garden plots for residents to garden in. The community garden also offers an event lawn, covered picnic area, composting area, restrooms, and parking. 

With the hopes of making the harvest garden an experience for educational purposes, this project has been thoroughly and thoughtfully designed. The goal is to also use it as an out-of-classroom workshop to help foster excitement in our youth and continue the tradition of this community space for generations. 

From hosting farm-to-table dinners to bringing the Wellen Park community together, this garden is a place that residents love and thrive in.
