Lee County Parks & Recreation invites the community to attend the second annual Touch-a-Truck event at the Mike Greenwell Regional Park (formerly the Lee County Civic Center Complex) on Bayshore Road in North Fort Myers. The free, family-friendly event will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026.
The event’s first hour, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., will be sensory-friendly, offering a quieter and less crowded experience for individuals with sensory sensitivities.
Touch-a-Truck provides children and adults with an opportunity to explore a variety of vehicles up close, including fire trucks, heavy equipment and more. This interactive event offers an inside look at the vehicles that serve Lee County; it’s well suited for families and individuals looking to connect with their community in an engaging and educational setting.
Vehicles from Lee County departments that will be represented include Parks & Recreation, Public Safety, DOT, Utilities, Solid Waste, Library System and Domestic Animal Services.
If you represent an organization that has heavy equipment and would like to participate, it’s not too late to reserve a space. Contact Jessy Zukaitis at 239-371-1137 or email Jzukaitis@leegov.com.
I loved the one last year, it was a great experience. The Sheriff also brought one of their tricked out helicopters with night vision, infrared imaging and all sorts of other cool toys. (No 50 cal though. 😎) There were a number of related vendors there as well and it is definitely worth the drive for a hands on adventure.
