San Luis Mission Park

Great park. Has fenced dog park; pond with boardwalk. Miles of great trails, some steep. New playground is being installed. Cover picnic shelters. Restrooms and adjacent covered picnic shelter.

I was visiting Tallahassee and decided to check this park out. I had high hopes. This park is nestled inside a residential area. A nearby resident was blasting their music and it was easily heard for about 1/4 mile. The trails were great but if you're allergic to poison ivy, be aware there is a lot of it around. The dog park would be a hit for your dogs. However, I did not see an area for smaller dogs. There did seem to be a large area for the dogs to run and play. There were restrooms on-site with a small playground as well. It was great to get some fresh air.

I brought my son here yesterday morning, and we played till about noon. When I first arrived, a guy and girl walked out of the women's bathroom. Then, they walked off as we came up. The overall park is beautiful. There was trash in the playground area, but not a lot, and a worker came by and picked it up while we were there. The playground needs to be revamped. The slide literally has holes in it, the zip line is missing its handle, and they have steps blocked off. I think the should completelt redo this playground. I saw two other cars come up and a girl got in the car with a guy in the other, I could smell cannabis coming from the car from the playground as they were parked close. And even when leaving, I passed a car with someone who was standing outside it and smoking a joint (you could see the roach) with the driver.

Great piece of history right here in the Panhandle of Florida (Tallahassee). Beautifully maintained. There is a sort film you can watch before exploring the grounds. Live "actors" roam the grounds in full character costume with very insightful information.

Needs a bit of mantainance..great place to walk around and enjoy nature within the city
