This place was beautiful! Serene and peaceful. Very well maintained. I loved sitting on the swing and watching all of the butterflies. There are also several different butterfly gardens to view. The labyrinth was neat to walk through and think during. The walking path was well maintained. The gazebo and fire pits are a nice touch. There are signs for lots of local events happening here or in Safety Harbor and it is great to see that members of this community put their time and heart into this beautiful nature preserve; I also think the weekly plant sale is a nice touch. The kissing booth is very cute. It was great to be able to see so many different types of butterflies out flying around today and stopping on the flowers. Parking was ample and admission was free. There was a small playground for children and the area seems accessible. The community garden is neat and sunflowers were visible. What a beautiful piece of nature!

A very pleasant location. I visited the butterfly garden, the wind garden, a labyrinth and walking trails. There are picnic tables and restrooms. When I visited a family with young children enjoyed the playground.

This is a great park for so many reasons. Kids can run at the playground, hunt for fruit from various trees around the property, enjoy the walking trail and spot a turtle if you're lucky. There are restrooms available, plenty of shaded areas, picnic tables, a gazebo, and a community garden for viewing. It's pretty empty during the week. There are often free events on Saturdays which is when it is busiest. It's just a generally relaxing place to spend quality time with family and friends. Parking is in a gravel lot. Highly recommend as a safe place to let kids run around and be kids.

A true treasure and the best kept secret in Safety Harbor! I am taking myself on a picnic and will sip and swing on the red porch swing and commune with nature... so very close to civilization! The perfect balance. Grateful to those who had the foresight to protect this land!

Yes! Come on a Monday or Tuesday morning, when the volunteer crews are at work, and we'll help you find your place. Depending on when you arrive, you'll find us gathered in the northeast corner behind the green house or scattered through the garden working on our projects.
