History : Okeeheelee is the Seminole word for pretty waters and you will find two gorgeous lakes here for all kinds of recreation. The land the park sits on was used for strip mining in the 1950's and 60's. The first 90 acres for the park was purchased in 1973 and a dedication ceremony was held on June 15, 1974. The first phase of the park was completed in March of 1982 and the park was completed in 1996. Today this is a massive 1,702 acre park, making it one of the largest in South Florida. Okeeheelee Park has both a north and south entrance divided by Forest Hill Blvd. The south side of the park is the home of the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center.
