👍👍 This is a beautiful changing environment. From turtles to ducks to lily pads to huge toads, there’s always something fascinating to experience. There are 2 paths around Hines lake, one close to the water and another deeper into the trees that leads back to the lake’s edge. Both are a must any time i...

Harvest green park
Park
😐 There is a lot to do here for small children! My kids love this park, but I didn’t give it a 5 star because of the graffiti inside of the Children’s slide area is all over the walls. Also, every time I come to visit the trash cans are full and trash is on the lawn. Prepare to park off the street an...

👍👍 Love this new park. I hope they will build the restroom there soon. The park has a lot of shade for the kids to play in nature. It's best to come before 10-10:30am, some areas still nice and shaded to play till noon, not the slides. Gym equipment is always in shade. Nice park to read book and quiet...

👍 Great walking trail. Very peaceful when it's not busy. I took 3 pictures of an object in the water near the bridge. These photos were taken on 3 separate occasions. You be the judge. I took a new photo with my telephoto lense. Definitely an alligator. Right by the water outlet. The parks department...

👍👍 Walking distance to the trails through beautiful trees. The air smells so fresh. My favorite part of the park I’ve adventured in thus far. If you’re into biking there are great bike trails as well. Lovely for a fun run or walk. Not terribly crowded. Helpful trial markers. Wonderful time getting lost...
