Lots of men still cruise this park. Remember, you have the right to enjoy this park, but you've got to be careful. Lots of families use this park as well as a few good men. This is a great place to meet other real men.

An undercover policeman arrested a man here November 30 for "lewd activity." The man had touched himself and "solicited" the cop. Subsequently the man was banned from local parks for ten years.

Undercover operations and arrests continue here at this park infamous for cruising and arrests. In the latest case, a man exposed himself to an undercover detective and asked for oral sex. He was charged with committing a lewd act and indecent exposure. His name and hometown were on local TV.

There is also additional information on the September arrests, which included four men and one women charged.

Repeated undercover police operations recur again and again in County Parks in Polk County, Florida.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office Undercover Vice Unit arrested three men Dec 21, two here at Saddle Creek Park and one at Gator Creek Reserve. All three were charged with soliciting to commit a lewd act and two with indecent exposure. One of the three was charged with trespass, having previously been arrested in a similar operation in 2010 and banned from County Parks. Another was charged with battery because he allegedly "grabbed the detective against the detective's will."

Names, photos, home towns or states, and marital status including number of years married were published. All three were banned from County Parks.

It sucks to read that they have been doing raids out there. In the late 90's when I was 14 to 17, I'd ride my bike out there, stash it on one of the trails, and just walk the trails looking for fun. And boy did I have a lot of it out there! I miss those good old days.

Two men were arrested here in an undercover sting charged with offering to engage in lewdness. One was also charged with indecent exposure. From a local news report including names, photos, and hometowns of the two men:

The Polk County Sheriff's vice unit was responding to complaints about lewd activity in Saddle Creek Park, Gator Creek Preserve, Fort Fraser Trail, Lake Fannie Boat Ramp, and Mosaic Peace River Park.

"We will continue to conduct operations like these, in an effort to keep our parks safe for families and children at play,” said Sheriff Grady Judd. “Our parks are not to be used for illegal activities. They are for others to enjoy, without fear of being victimized or witnessing illegal lewd acts."

There was a link up above on this page to the Polk County web site for this park. I just removed it. Clearly Polk County's authorities know what's happening in their parks, but it's probably wiser not to have incoming links from a gay cruising web site show up in their web site logs.

If y'all really need the link, I'll put it back using an anonymizing service. ~ Editor

Yes, this place is a great place to play if you're safe and do not make it obvious.

A great way to let cruisers know you're looking for sex is to tap your brake lights a couple times.
