DEPOT PARK REVIEWS
Beautiful park! Lots of fantastic trails and sidewalks. A lovely area with a lot of cool places to hang out and catch shade. The amount of native plants was really cool to see. The sidewalks were nice and wide, no problem for my giant tricycle. Was here for the ride ataxia event. Thank you so much for hosting us!!
Beautiful park. Usually you can see an alligator and turtle in the pond. Loop is fun. Lots of flat space for skating or biking. Nice bathrooms on one side. Parking available also by the museum.
Great walking trails, clean restrooms, well maintained grounds, kids' playgrounds, and kids' water play area. Food and drinks on site.

POSSUM CREEK PARK REVIEWS
My 9 Year Old and I have been here multiple times now. Every time it's been clean, safe, and tons of fun. We make a 35 minute drive from Keystone Heights because it's totally worth it for such a great place to skate, practice, interact with others, etc.
Our first dog park together. My little Hera, 12 wks (now 10 mos). Now we review dog parks. This one has big and little dog runs with water spouts. Lots of nice small dogs in the morning. Well maintained. 5/5 stars
This is a great park. It has tons of amenities, skatepark, playground, fields, soccer goals, dog park, shaded areas, grills, covered tables, bathrooms, and more. Only problem is that the are no lights and it closes at sunset. You'll get run off by the cops if you stay later.

Alfred A. Ring Park is over a mile of winding trails through upland mixed and slope forest, following the course of Hogtown Creek. Visitors can enjoy a scenic overlook that offers views of the confluence of Glen Springs Run and Hogtown Creek, where the clear water from Glen Springs contrasts sharply with the tannic water of Hogtown Creek. The park is home to many birds, gray squirrels, and other urban wildlife. Visitors can walk or jog the trails, have a picnic under the pavilion, play in the playground, or rest on a quiet bench. Additionally, there is a hiking trail that runs through the widely forested park and includes a wildflower garden and play area. The park features accessible bicycle paths, picnic tables, restrooms, pavilions, walking trails, wildlife or bird watching, and dogs on leashes.

ALFRED A. RING PARK REVIEWS
I love coming to this park. I bring my dobie with me and he enjoys it as well (must be leashed). It’s all nature beautiful; lots of birds, plants, trees to admire. The trail is perfect for a stress relieving walk or getting a nice workout (it has some nice inclines). There are multiple entrances to the creek which my dobie loves to go in and get refreshed. There is a small playground next to a shelter which has some tables. It’s very peaceful and I highly recommend coming here if you’re looking for a relaxing time.
Today was the second time I was here, this park is beautiful, a lot bird ,flowers, insects and a dense forest , I planning to walk here every morning. PLEASE DON'T MAKE NOISE , if you do ,you not going to see the animals and you will scare them. Please keep the park clean don't throw garbage on the park.
This is a wonderful park with a small nature trail and playground. This is a pet friendly place with a really nice bridge from the parking lot to the trails. It's right next door to the Elk's Lodge.
