    Cute little urban park. It's quiet and pretty. Nice place to take a stroll when the weather cools down. Lots of mosquitos in the summer tho. I think this is where Tally ppl come see Christmas lights during the holidays. I've been once in the past, it was super packed. The park is free. Why not come check it out?!

    5 stars for a beautiful park with an impressive Christmas lights display, featuring over 250,000 lights and cheerful holiday music. Take a camera because it's gorgeous and magical. Best of all, the event is free and parking is free as well.

    Hate to admit it, but this was my first visit to this park. I know, I know. I will do better especially during the holiday season when they put up all their decorations and lights. What a charming and Zen-like park! We loved walking through all the paths finding little and big bridges, water features and beautiful plants. Our puppy enjoyed exploring and sniffing every corner of the park! Highly recommend for an afternoon stroll or a picnic lunch/dinner! Plenty of shaded tables to enjoy your goodies!

    I came here with a friend to see the Christmas lights during the Elf Night event. The parking wasn't that abundant, but we were able to park in the church lot right next door and walk over. The entry way was nice, very bright and decorated with blue lights. Obviously it was night, so getting an image of the park as a whole was a little difficult, but from what I could tell, it was a nice, quaint place. I enjoyed it, and if you have a family or a significant other that you would like to take out to do something, this would be a great choice to make! It's not too big of a place, and you'll finish up in about 30 minutes or so, but make a few laps around and enjoy yourself for the evening.

    Cute little park right by my apartment, great for a nice walk and for some change of scenery. Seams well kept and not too busy. I tend to walk around and enjoy the break from Tallahassee by myself. But it's also good for a nice walk with your better half and taking a few pictures with a loved one.

    This is a nice green space in Tallahassee. There are walking paths and garden features to look at, and it stays relatively quiet during the week. This isn't a kid-oriented park as there are no playgrounds or swings, but it's a lovely place to stroll on summer evenings when it's not so hot.

    Come this way and be delighted

    A hidden paradise. Delightful park with garden gems awaiting you around every corner. Many plants and features donated in memory of loved ones. I imagined the love that went into their work. A nearby hotel concierge suggested this park when I asked for a running route. She said she couldn't remember the name of the park but that it was off of Thomasville Road. Had I not searched for it on YELP I would never have found it. Entering this small park was like entering a different dimension. I was truly entranced. I so appreciate those who donate land and plants and put hard work, time and energy as well as funds into creating such beauty in memory of loved ones, for strangers to enjoy.

    Great place for a soulless, cheesy photoshoot that is one or two steps above Walmart Photo Studios.

    Tallahassee served as Florida's First Capitol because it was located midway between St. Augustine…read moreand Pensacola. Lawmakers needed a central location as the journey from east Florida to west Florida was treacherous during the early 1800s. On a mission to find a mutually agreeable location, two sets of explorers met midway at former abandoned Native American settlement known as Anhaica. This became early Tallahassee which means Old Town (Talia+Hasi) in Creek/Seminole. The first Florida Capitol was a log cabin built in 1824. One hundred years later, a temporary replica was built. Another temporary full sized replica was built in 1974 for the sesquicentennial celebration. My dad was on that committee which inspired him to advocate for building a permanent replica for the bicentennial celebration in 2024. It was so interesting to hear about the process of building this most recent First Florida Capitol replica. So many people donated their time and energy. From sifting through historical records, to creating authentic floor plans when few existed, to donations of logs, to getting permits, it was a challenging to bring this project, a dream for my dad, to life. Having grown up in Tallahassee, I have always loved Florida history. It is nice to see a piece of history being brought back to life and to have my family play a role in that legacy. Florida is so different from when my grandparents moved to south Florida a century ago in the 1920s. I am happy to see history preserved while the city and state continue to grow. #2900

    One of the best areas in Tallahassee right here! Cascades Park is a beautiful and sprawling park &…read moreleisure area close to downtown that's perfect for a walk, run, family outing or other activities in the fresh air. There are walking paths that loop around and through and must go for several miles. They have a small amphitheater in the middle where I'm sure there are performances and concerts here and there. A big splash pad is on one side, and I know the kiddos love that especially on a warmer day. They have a big playground on the other side, and there are some bathrooms as well just in case. Intertwined are some pond/ creek areas that add to the beauty of this park. It's a super lovely walk around, and my favorite part are the pillars towards one end that tell the history of Tallahassee- racial tensions, civil war and repair and more. It brings more light onto the capitol city and its roots.
