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

There is metered street parking along the sides of the park and also within a reasonable walking distance. This park is home to one of Tallahassee's largest dog parks. The p[arks namesake was the person charged with doing the landscaping on the chain of parks that this park is located. It has a long history, being around for over 85 years. The park is not very well maintained and seemed to be a hangout for for local urban campers. The park has a brick paved walkway that goes down the center of it. You will also find a few metal square picnic tables and a pavilion with nothing under it. Just off of the dog park, is a paved circular area with benches along its outside perimeter. This is a nice hang out spot, if you are in the area and have no other place to go. I do not see much value outside of that and it is definitely not a destination spot.

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

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.
