Fun park parts of it are shutdown for Covid19 but you can still go on walks. Great place to get outside if you need to get out of the house.

Lafayette is peaceful. Its a great place to do calisthenics, yoga, and play Pokemon Go. There is a small take a book, leave a book library at the community art center. ️

Best park in Tallahassee, is hidden away off a one way street but it really has everything, shaded play ground, walking trails, basketball, basketball, and tennis, and a community center that has a lot of interesting classes.

Such a nice local park. My daughter and granddaughter enjoy the trails and fitness items along the walk. There is also pretty nature and birds in the trees.

Now I really love this park! Great childrens playground, trails, tennis court, & baseball field. The playground is far enough from the road (& downhill) that Im more at ease compared to other parks. It can get crowded depending the time of day because there is a daycare/school next door. My kids love having other kids to play with so it just depends what you want that day. Again its not always crowded, so just be mindful of the school days & times.

The tennis courts are nice. There are 2.the playground is for all ages. There are 2 of those also. They have a cemented area for basketball which is nice. They have a softball field but the clay is hard. Its actually pretty nice though. The outfield has very plush grass. Good for Frisbee, corn hole, whatever you like to do in the grass.

This is a great little park for running a trail in the middle of town. Its shaded with features like wooden foot bridges and exercise stations. The park is well maintained as they add more clay and sand to keep the trail in tact. There are restroom facilities by the childrens playground and sports complex.

A quaint park tucked away in midtown that features walking paths, a mid-sized park, and a community center. It is nice to come down here and escape for a bit by taking a walk around the park. There are some huge trees, busy squirrels, and pretty birds around the park.

There are two sets of playground equipment. One for 2-3 year olds and one for 4-6 year olds. The park is pretty and arboreal but the shade for the playground is artificial and inadequate.

Neat place, good tree cover, exercise stations along jogging trail, little creek I think, community center with restrooms and water fountain nearby, sports fields and playground around the corner. My and my girlfriends favorite park in Tallahassee, go there often to hammock

Very nice old park in Midtown with lots of trees, azaleas, and room to run around.There is a stream that runs through it and walking/running trails as well. It is a short walk from central Midtown. You can park inside or curbside for easy access.The local neighborhood sets it off for Halloween as well.

We miss Lafayette park! It was our favorite when we lived in Tallahassee! The kids loves the playground and freedom it allowed, and I loved the shade. There was almost always somewhere I could sit, be in shade, and still see all or most of the playground

Theres no place in or around Tallahassee that you could go for Halloween that is any better than Beard Street. Props to all the residents that put together such an amazing Street full of fun Halloween adventures at every trick or treat spot.

My wife and I enjoy jogging in the park and using the exercise stations. Its way more enjoyable than the gym. Also, the trees keep the whole park shaded so its a comfortable temperature even on hot days.There are also a couple of tennis courts, a playground, a baseball field, a basketball hoop, and a community center with indoor courts and bathrooms -- although the community center is not always open.This a major highlight of living midtown, IMHO.The only downside is that there are no lights at the park at night and the walking/jogging trail (very) occasionally has tripping hazards (which are usually removed or covered in a matter of days).
