Ten acre botanical garden designed around three ponds with two attractive “Old Florida style buildings” as well as several nice gazebos. There is an enclosed picnic pavilion, a small playground for children and shelled walkways and bench areas. Despite not being an overly large park, it is a great place to walk along the paths running throughout the sculptured gardens that show off rare palm trees, fruit and flowering trees and a butterfly garden. You can relax with your lunch and a good book and enjoy nature while sitting beside one of the three sizable ponds.
