Kiwanis Park
This is a public park with nature trails and public restroom. Once the hottest place in Port Charlotte to cruise, between the damage Hurricane Charlie caused and numerous arrests in the mid 2000s, this park became a ghost town for cruising. Over the years it's picked up again and has become somewhat cruisy.

Etiquette
There's 2 main cruising areas: the bathrooms and nature trails. The nature trail where the long wooden bridge in the woods by the gazebo seems to be where the cruising seems to happen. Also throughout the nature trails men meet up in the shrubs and bushes to have fun. The bathrooms can be cruisy too, with men waiting in their cars for others to enter the restroom. You can usually spot the cruisers vs. the exercise enthusiast.
