The grounds were quite pleasant, but I was surprised that many of the water features were not running or seemed not well maintained and rather sludgy. The place is named as a set of gardens, but I didn't see a ton of interesting plant life either. Nonetheless, it was a nice area, and it is free.

A gently sloping lawn flattens out by the river where you can have a picnic, wading in the river, or just enjoy the beautiful scene around you. The views of the river are unbeatable since the clearing forms a small promontory. While it is currently overgrown, the river nature trail head starts at the north side of the clearing. Although it is relatively remote, they still have bathrooms here which are sort of glorified outhouses.

Several ellipticals; lots of bikes, one stairmaster, and some rowers in basement. They got some new weight machines and a small selection of dumbbells that go up to 50 lb. So no lunks here. The indoor track is big plus too, but the Greeneway is right there so why not just run outside? Also several basketball courts, racquetball, and activity rooms. Even craft room. But just $50/year. Can't beat that :)

The paths are open to mountain bikes and hikers, and sharing was reasonably easy.

And that is what lead us to FATS. Florida has some great MTB parks and trails, but one can admit that Florida is flat state, not much elevation to give. So in search of the next big thing, especially with a little elevation, FATS became our go-to first option, and it did not disappoint. Me and a group of guys traveled 4.5 hours from Jacksonville to have our first MTB date with FATS. VERDICT: What a fantastic set of trails. Trails were well marked, well maintained, and nicely laid out. Fast and flowy trails. The Fall colors were an added bonus. Nothing overly challenging for the most part. The Brown Wave trail became our favorite trail of all. All in all, we LOVED this place. We're already making plans on coming back for another MTB date, FATS Part 2.
