Bonnet Springs Park

Bonnet Springs Park offers a collection of bookable venues within a 168-acre park in Lakeland, Florida. Event planners can choose from spaces suited to weddings, receptions, corporate gatherings, meetings, family celebrations and smaller social occasions, with the natural landscape providing a distinctive setting for each event.

The Kirby Center features a spacious ballroom with large windows, a foyer and built-in presentation screens. Its adaptable layout can be divided into sections, and the venue can accommodate groups of around 50 to 400, depending on the arrangement. Greenrooms, an outdoor lawn and bar area, and a kitchen for approved catering providers add useful options for event planning. The park also offers the Ann and Ward Edwards Boathouse, a waterfront setting with screened areas and a dock. It is suited to intimate celebrations and wedding ceremonies, with capacity for up to 100 guests.

For smaller bookings, the Hollis Family Welcome Center has an air-conditioned room with tables, chairs and a large screen, making it a practical choice for meetings, showers and family gatherings. The Kiwanis Cares for Kids Treehouse offers a more informal, open-air setting for children’s celebrations and small gatherings.

The venue team provides support with room layouts, venue operations and the set-up and breakdown of its supplied tables and chairs. Bonnet Springs Park does not provide in-house catering, but event organisers can use its preferred caterers or request approval for another provider. Bar service is arranged through the park. With indoor and outdoor options, accessible facilities and complimentary guest parking, the park can accommodate a wide range of event styles and sizes.
