Samuel Butts Archeological Park

Beautiful walking park, a little sad to see how much trash buildup there is, and the cedar tree in half. You will see lots of cute ducks and ibis birds, just watch your step if you go in the grass; the trash is no joke lol. There are homeless people that frequent here, we did find a small 'campsite', but it's to be expected. Otherwise, beautiful park. Cute ducks. Would love to go again one day (((:

This little Park is right off of a main road. Beautiful little Park very flat even wheelchair accessible. Probably about a mile route around the lake. Tons of wildlife keep your eyes open as well as turtles in the water. If you're looking for a quiet peaceful place to walk this is it!

Fun place to stop and learn a little local history. Not much to see but the signs contained a fair amount of information. Grounds could be kept up a little better, trash was strewn about but the bathrooms were being cared for while we were there and in decent shape.

Beautiful area. Large lake with boardwalk over and pavilion on the water. Trails/paths around the water. Path is wide and concrete. Neat plants. Crape myrtles, palms, lantanas, air potatoes, cardboard cycad, American trumpet vines and more. Ibis, mottled duck, herons, egrets, rock pigeons, Muscovy, turtles and more. Even some ducklings ❤️ Restrooms but they were locked. Water fountain at restroom building but didn’t work. Fishing pier. Walk or bike. Dog friendly. Please pick up - bags provided. Plenty of birds and duck to see. Shade. Benches along the walk path. Not a lot of parking but it is free. It’s an amazing area with a few artifacts on display and some informational signs. However, on all the platforms was trash trash and more trash - even clothes. The parks department really need to get someone to keep the liter picked up since some people obviously do not know how to use a trash bin as plenty are provided in the park. OR, send in some volunteers!! I think it would be amazing for young and old to explore the area but it’s pretty grown up and filled with so much trash. People do better. I do not care if your homeless or not- it isn’t hard to NOT leave your trash!! At first glance it looks clean. Mr. Samuel Butts would be disappointed in the garbage.

This is a large park with a lengthy walking trail that encircles 2 ponds. There are public bathrooms that appear well maintained. Lots of birds including ducks and ibis. Use the parking lot on Bellevue Ave. The north parking lot is small, secluded and doesn't feel safe.
