Review:
Conveniently located in Downtown Gainesville, Depot Park is a popular recreation area which was once a rail yard. After an extensive transformation, which included removal of contaminated soil and water, the Depot Park opened to the public in 2016. This enviable city green space now boasts fields of indigenous and wild flowers and several recreational facilities for families to enjoy. Children can spend many summer hours enjoying the children’s play area which encompasses the Blue Grotto splash pad and fun waterfalls. There is a wide paved promenade around the main pool for walking, several picnic shelters, a conservation area and lots of open lawn for lounging and relaxing.
Depot Park, 874 S E 4th Street, Gainesville, FL 32601, 352 393 8510
