If this were any other day, I'm sure I'd rate this park higher, but please be aware that this…read morereview is based on my experience from Independence Day. That being said, we went for the holiday celebrations, and well, this was packed more than a can of sardines. We were only there the last hour of the festivities, but it felt like an eternity. Lines, lines everywhere, with lots of disorganization as there were minimal lights and a lot of staff that were directing people to park in places further when there was parking up front. Ugh. Definitely a place to come early for a special day because it's hard to get a decent spot otherwise. The lines, lines everywhere continued everywhere honestly. The food trucks, the finding a good spot, the entering and leaving the park. Sigh. At least the fireworks were pretty. Will have to return on a regular day to see if I can actually enjoy this park rather than just think of all the stress it brought us.

New park discovery of a Tallahasee gem for running and hiking …read more This 255-acre park with 3 1 mile mountain bike trail was named in 1977 after a Leon High coach (1944 to 1946) Thomas Irwin Brown .Tom Brown was also a Babe Ruth League coach for 20 years and a Leon County Commisioner for 14 years. His love of sports was the blueprint for establishing these beautiful and well-kept trails and park. I love to find new places to run and hike while traveling and was surprised at how many baseball, softball fields, and tennis / pickle board courts this park offers. You can hear the peck of woodpeckers on trees and many different types of birds such as cardinals and swallow tailed kite as you hike on their asphalt paths or dirt trails. A nice change from the normal sounds of Houston traffic. Check out this park while in Tally .

We do not currently have a dog, but we both love dogs and enjoy petting them and watching them play. The parking lot was full so we parked across the street where some other cars were parked. Its quite a small parking lot. There is a very nice double gate so that dogs cannot escape easily. We got to pet a few dogs, but they were mostly running around and playing which is why they were there! We followed a path around the lake and were impressed with the size of the park. A few dogs were playing in the water as well. We saw some neighbors and stopped to chat a bit. Other people were getting to know each other because their dogs were playing together. What a great way for neighbors and their dogs to connect with each other! We really enjoyed ourselves and will return soon for sure.

DO NOT GET NEAR THE WATER! The pond water is filled with blue-green algae…read more If you, your child or your pet got sick after being near this pond, per the FL Dept of Health report it to Florida Poison Control Center 1-800-222-1222. Blue-green algae means it likely is TOXIC algae that sicken your dog within minutes and kill within hours. If the fountain is running, then the toxins are being disbursed into the air and you breathe it in and it can make you very sick - seberity of signs and symptoms depend on the type and amount of cyanobacteria present. You cannot tell 100% if it's toxic by look or smell, only by water testing. Keep pets and children away until you know if it's toxic. Ask the City of Tallahassee to perform cyanobacteria testing and be honest with you about the toxins. See: https://www.epa.gov/nutrientpollution/protect-your-pooch

And the small dog park would make a very nice large dog park in most cities. The large dog park it's actually a lot bigger than it looks from the entrance. It unfolds in the back and opens up into a very nice big area for your dogs to run amongst the trees. Did I mention there are a multitude of old groceries as well as places to sit and benches and picnic tables. There are multiple poop bag dispensers as well as trash cans placed all around the park. Dual gated entry areas for both the large and the small dog park. The only two questionable items are they have a place where the fence makes a v in the back which can sometimes trap dogs that are trying to escape being attacked and the only water is actually outside the delegated entry? Oh and you have to park about a half a block away.

There is street parking available to park visitors. The playground is laid on a rubbery, mud-free surface. The playground's equipment is modern and includes a supernova merry go round, saucer swing, a bank of traditional swings, a bank of toddler swings, teeter tooters, a spiral pole slide, a corkscrew climber, and a massive net climber. There is seating on low retaining walls for caregivers to watch their littles play and a little open space for littles to play catch. I really like this playground and would put it slightly in the category of being a destination playground. It is well maintained, has some modern equipment, and offers water and a restroom. I highly recommend checking this playground out if you are in the area.

The full trail goes a full 16 miles, taking advantage of a railroad corridor that formerly brought cotton to the coast for shipment to mills in the Northeast.

I'd recommend the coffee shop. https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-shack-a-coffee-boutique-saint-marks?hrid=S7aIc1834tASGsfQjqJR4A.

Through the early 1900s, this historic railroad corridor carried cotton from the plantation belt to the coast for shipment to textile mills in England and New England. Officially part of Florida's Greenways and Trails System, this state trail also has been designated as a National Recreation Trail. This was the first rail-trail in Florida's system of greenways and trails to be paved, providing a scenic experience for running, walking, bicycling and skating. Horseback riding is available on the adjacent unpaved trail. Here, outdoor enthusiasts can hike a portion of the Florida National Scenic Trail, which joins the trail at U.S. 98 and continues south. At the main trailhead, there is access to the Munson Hills/Twilight Mountain Bike Trails in the Apalachicola National Forest. At the southern terminus of the trail, the coastal city of St. Marks welcomes trail users to enjoy seafood dining, fishing and entertainment and to learn about the history of the area at San Marcos de Apalache Historical State Park. The Tallahassee-St. Marks State Trail is a completed section of the developing, 120-mile Capital City to the Sea Loop corridor and is a destination along the Big Bend Scenic Byway.
