    If this were any other day, I'm sure I'd rate this park higher, but please be aware that this…read morereview is based on my experience from Independence Day. That being said, we went for the holiday celebrations, and well, this was packed more than a can of sardines. We were only there the last hour of the festivities, but it felt like an eternity. Lines, lines everywhere, with lots of disorganization as there were minimal lights and a lot of staff that were directing people to park in places further when there was parking up front. Ugh. Definitely a place to come early for a special day because it's hard to get a decent spot otherwise. The lines, lines everywhere continued everywhere honestly. The food trucks, the finding a good spot, the entering and leaving the park. Sigh. At least the fireworks were pretty. Will have to return on a regular day to see if I can actually enjoy this park rather than just think of all the stress it brought us.

    New park discovery of a Tallahasee gem for running and hiking …read more This 255-acre park with 3 1 mile mountain bike trail was named in 1977 after a Leon High coach (1944 to 1946) Thomas Irwin Brown .Tom Brown was also a Babe Ruth League coach for 20 years and a Leon County Commisioner for 14 years. His love of sports was the blueprint for establishing these beautiful and well-kept trails and park. I love to find new places to run and hike while traveling and was surprised at how many baseball, softball fields, and tennis / pickle board courts this park offers. You can hear the peck of woodpeckers on trees and many different types of birds such as cardinals and swallow tailed kite as you hike on their asphalt paths or dirt trails. A nice change from the normal sounds of Houston traffic. Check out this park while in Tally .

    Lafayette Park is a small piece of what once was a 6 mile by 6 mile land grant given to the Marquis…read morede Lafayette in appreciation of his service during the American Revolution. What was probably a ravine with water flowing through it is now a small park with some up and down to it if you walk or run the exercise trail that winds through. Any running water has long ago been buried below with pipes. The Boy Scout meeting house in the park has been around since 1935. The Recreation Center building was opened in 1957. There is one ball field currently used for softball and some tennis courts. There is a small concrete track on the perimeter. Seems like I remember seeing a small picnic pavilion. I have lots of memories from my youth at this park. I practiced for peewee football here. I slid down the hill beyond the outfield fence on cardboard. The Boy Scouts had our carved racers events here (Pine Wood Derby?). I took a pottery class and an air rifle safety class at the Recreation Center. The Recreation Center was the site for high school teen dances on Saturdays. Many of the same activities I participated in here are still happening. The Recreation Center has a full calendar of art classes. Lots of people walk or run the exercise trail through the park. Sports are still played. Picnics are still done. Maybe the Boy Scouts still meet in their building. The earliest of Tallahasseeans walked through here and I suspect that will continue to happen for a long time to come.

    Beautiful park with lots of green and trees. Little bridge is cute. Unpaved trail to walk. Street…read moreparking only
