What to expect on Uncommon Friends Sculpture – The Cat Fountain loop from Fort Myers

Planning your visit
Centennial Park is located in downtown Fort Myers, making it easily accessible. Parking is generally available around the park, though it can get busy during community events. The park is open year-round, and while there are no permits or fees required, visiting during cooler parts of the day, especially in summer, is advisable to avoid the Florida heat. Sunsets over the Caloosahatchee River from the park are particularly beautiful, offering a great time for an evening walk.
