Jackson View Park

None of this was here when I was a boy. We played here in what was a pasture mixed with wood thickets. There was a massive live oak, hundreds of years old; it had grown from the ground and divided just a few feet above the soil and the two trunks, each four feet or so in diameter splayed out away from each other symmetrically, like the hull of a ship. The canopy above was full of vines and we could swing across the whole like pirates. It is gone now and the county has turned the area into this pretty park. I return and walk with my mother on visits back to Tallahassee.

Great County park with limited but quality views to lake via boardwalk. Nice gentle trails, some with oak canopies. Nicely equipped children's park.

Nice park. It's not huge, but it's pretty. Popular place for dog walkers. My dogs were a fan of all the smells and the overlook to Lake Jackson.

When you are moving parallel to the Lake Jackson in the north of Tallahassee along the Monroe Street passed the intersection of Capital Circle NW a bend comes to capture your view where the Clara Kee Blvd starts right there your views will be captured and captivated with shades of magical green hues and you know you are in the Jackson View Park. Just stop and watch its natural beauty it will serve you eternal sunshine.

Located on Lake Jackson, this 45-acre passive park provides a mile long trail, playground, picnic tables, and observation pier. The park opened to the public in April 2008.
