This is a spacious, well-kept park with four athletic fields and a dedicated dog park. The grounds feel thoughtfully maintained, with neatly pruned trees throughout. Towering Southern live oaks and fragrant Southern magnolias provide generous shade on sunny afternoons, making it a pleasant place to linger. Near the entrance, a few longleaf pines stand out; perfect for anyone who enjoys collecting pinecones or simply admiring native trees. Separate men’s and women’s restrooms are available, which is a welcome convenience for longer visits. There are also multiple parking areas, so it’s a good idea to coordinate with friends ahead of time on where to meet up.

Big dog park, almost no shade. Lots of sports fields, tight parking near fields. Restrooms are cleaner (free feminine sanitary items, never seen that in a public park...it was empty) Park is right next to public sanitation, it is built on old garbage dump. Not one I would go to unless there was an event that pulled me there.

Awesome place to have hosted the Tallahassee Highland Games! What an amazing event, if you have never attended the Highland Games before, make sure you get tickets to go next year. Great culture, great food, great sporting events to watch, and great music!

It’s been 14 years since I’ve ran here and its truly came a long way.

The staff are incredibly rude and unreasonable. Some security guard (?) Kicked the head milesplit photographer off the course, causing parents of the kids running to be infuriated. The photographer showed the Visit Tally worker his credentials to be on the track, and after acknowledging the fact that he did, in fact, have credentials, the worker still kicked him out. She was clearly someone who was given temporary power and didn't know how to handle it. I unfortunately did not get her name. All I know is that she was driving a golf cart and that she was african american.
