OFFICIAL INFO:
1) What It's LikeIt's a 31 acre park filled with sidewalks and boardwalks. Mostly seems like it goes through cypress forests and some natural looking botanical gardens mixed. It seems the gardens have merged into just natural plants to a degree. But I'm not a botanist - maybe every inch of this place is precious rare plants. I'm unclear as to whether there are really springs here now - I know some of what was flowing here have stopped. The little creek might be spring fed but it's not blue water or anything dramatic like that. 2) Kinds of BirdsPeacocks outside the park wandering around. We didn't see a ton of birds - it's not much wilderness and not connected to much more wilderness. 3) WildlifeSquirrels. 4) AmenitiesBathrooms, nice walkways. 5) Time RequirementsMight want to give it an hour. ExperienceIn the 1930s a botanist/traveler created a park of tropical plants and a fish farm and in the 1960s he gave it to the county who have this park now. It's nice but it seems like it's slowly converting back to mostly non-tended plants. There's a boardwalk that to my eye was just cypress but apparently there are tupello and maple in there. There are no springs visible in any impressive way. The neighborhood around here has wandering peacocks. So it's pleasant but don't expect a theme park. |
