Nice short little trail. Perfect for little kids that cant walk very far on their own. It is a little rooty so watch your step. There is even a little bridge to watch the stream.

Beautifully equipped playground with lots of shade from the sails over it. Fantastic park for families with kids.

Nice place to have fun with kids. Parking space is limited but have not seen that many people visiting at a time.

Little nature park in the middle of town. Bathrooms, tennis, playground, picnic tables and pavilion. Small nature trail with educational signs. Not a lot of parking, but clean and well maintained.

Small, secluded green jewel in the city. Nice kids park with BBQ area. Nice short trail

Peaceful labyrinth with a beautiful memorial that increases suicide awareness.

Trail smaller then I thought but lovely park for a breath of fresh air or picnic.

Very nice and peaceful to walk through the trail.

Great little park- has a few parking spots, a bathroom, a playground and seating area. Also has a half mile trail loop that is well kept. Dog (on leash) friendly!

Beautiful place, dog friendly, kid friendly, great scenery

Beautiful park perfect for an outdoor adventure/hike. Kid and dog friendly

Beautiful little park. Play area for kids is well maintained and there is a little trail as well. Nice memorial area for suicide victims as well.

Nice clean. quiet park. The memorial garden is somber but great reflection on those who chose to leave on their own terms.

Great small playground for your little ones. I have never gone where it has been over crowded. Has a great nature trail too.

My husband and I took our boys and dogs. They both enjoyed our visit. My husband and I enjoyed the trail.

Great walk but short

Nice walking trail and a little play park.

Convenient if not overwhelming slice of nature.

Nice secluded park thats still in a convenient location. Well shaded playground and rebuilt bridge over the creek offers a relaxing view. Peaceful and informative nature trail thats not too long for our kids.

Nice park. Nice playground. Nice trails. Restrooms are good too!

Great place to get away from the grind. Great for families and those that need a quiet area to walk and enjoy nature. Perfect for walking dog or taking kids on a short hike and then some playground activity. Beautiful area to enjoy. Definitely my new regular place to enjoy.

Cofrin Nature Park is a little park off of NW 8th avenue just before it merges with Newberry road.. The entrance is easy to miss. The park is well maintained and has a playground for young children. It has a nature walk where you can find surprisingly many animals inside the city limits. It has a seepage creek and upland forest habitat. Cofrin is a little known gem of a place and worth the visit. It also has a reflection garden.

Sanctuary. Lovely

Beautiful Memorial Garden

Clean, trail short and sweet. Suicide garden needs some tending to, overall a good park.

Need more parkjng

Its a nice park, beautiful gardens, and has a cute little trail

Love this little park. Has a nice nature trail.

Small park with a nice 1/2 mile loop trsil.

This is a very small, but pretty nature park with one easy trail making a loop.

Nice quiet park. Plenty of tables, nice nature walk, and nice memorial. Great place to take your kids to play.

Great playground with nice shade structure. Well maintained park. Really, its too bad that the sign says it closes at 6 pm. Makes it tough to visit after work.

Was a great hike for my grandson and me. He has mild CP and the roots were a good challenge for him. I am 76 and the whole thing was good for me. I used my walking stick and he held my hand. We enjoyed it very much.

Great park! Short but nice trail

Beautiful little park and playground, nice for a stroll.

I took my dogs and we loved it. I wish the trail was a bit longer though

Great child play area, bathrooms, fountains, court for tennis and such, and a very uplifting trail with a stream as well. Its a good spot to visit to escape from all the noise of Gainesville

Labyrinth for great meditation

Shaded play structure, well defined walking trail, easily accessible restroom and cold water in the water fountain.

Great nature park for a quick walk or an easily accessible photoshoot spot.

Do you want to feel like the one and only Howard Carter, famous archaeologist? Then go to Egypt. However, if you want to feel like the underappreciated marine archaeologist E. Lee Spence, you have come to the right place. There are shark teeth in the creek. Enough said. Why arent you here yet? You heard me right, the teeth of aquatic killing machines are there for the taking, and here you are reading my review. Please stop. Go get those teeth. Honor E. Lee Spence. His legacy will live on. Long live E. Lee Spence. The park is also pretty nice. -1 Star for the bugs.

Very quiet and serene. Limited parking and difficult to access though.

Very nice park. Good facilities, generally not crowded. Clean bathrooms. Could use some more play features and invasive species control along the trail.

Great hideaway park for families.

Great place for a quick stroll in the woods.

Cool place. Just make sure you are gone by 6pm because they will lock you in without telling you. Learned that one when i arrived at my vehicle at 6:05 and had to call the police to get my children and i out.

Very nice mulched playground and nature walk area. The kids loved it. There are slides, swings, a rock wall to climb, a balance beam, a fort with regular slides and a firemans pole. There are restrooms on site, and plenty of places to sit while the kids play, like benches and picnic tables. There is also a pavillion for parties or cookouts.

Suicide memorial, though most of the totems were taken down

Great smaller park with memorial and a nice little trail walk. Overall a nice play to kill some time and enjoy the outdoors. They do have bathrooms and a tennis court here as well.

I really enjoy hiking this trail. Shaded playground for the littles, tennis court, and a labyrinth (in the Survivors of Suicide garden. Lovely little bridge over a seepage stream too.

Shady trail, playground with picnic pavilion, restrooms, pokestops and two EX poke-gyms, well maintained

A great park hidden in the middle of Gainesville. The walk around is nice and not usually too busy.

It was well kept. My dog liked it a lot. The trail was shaded. It wasnt crowded

A rather small, but beautiful and wild park in the city

No phones, no technology just come and enjoy the quiet over a pic nic with the one you love.

Playground closed, no free mulch

Quiet and pleasant. Bathrooms and cold tap water available. Beautiful memorial to suicide victims. Short trail through the woods, but bring the insect repellent

Love walking the path, and if youre feeling adventurous, go down into the creek and look for sharks teeth!

Overall: Good for a public park for kids, not for hiking enthusiastsHalf a mile loop trail is wide and accessible, a comfortable walk. Would not call it moderate though!Theres also a suicide survivor garden, a cute playground, and a tennis court, all of which were well maintained.

Silent and fresh place. Good for kids.

Very pleasant.

Really family friend. Perfect place for kids birthday

Great small local park. Nice play ground and swings for the kids, a peaceful garden to sit in, and a nice short walking loop.

Beautiful neighborhood nature parks, nature trail, tennis court, playground, picnic area, memory garden and a wonderful bridge over the clear creek. A must for families, nature breaks and quiet moments

Very nice but small nature walk.

Beautiful. Quiet. Fun for kids with the playground. Or, as an adult if you need quiet time the walk is short enough to do on a quick break. Great Ingress location too.

Near the highway, but nice

Very peaceful but take the kids before 1pm if you want to swing. Shade structure doesnt cover them in the afternoon.

This is a great local place. There is a nature trail loop which is quite short. We went here to walk our dog as wed never been to this park and wanted to try somewhere besides our neighborhood. The dog loved it and was reluctant to get in the car. Once in the car, she would try to inch her way out. So, we will be back. Only wish the trail was longer.

Some neat areas.

This Park lets you see a little bit of what Florida was like prior to everyone moving in and cutting down all the trees. While hiking the trails Ive come across deer as well as numerous other Wildlife Critters. If you get a chance to come out and enjoy nature as its meant to be

Nice, clean great play area

So peaceful!

Shaded. Nice playground. Nearby trail and labyrinth. My young kids love it here!

Another nice spot for a walk in the woods. Parking spots available.

Kids loved going!

Amazing park, very peaceful

Nice park. Theres a jungle gym, and some tables so you can bring a picnic.

An amazing little trail in the middle of gainesville. Small meditation maze in a garden. Tennis court, kids playground. Great place for a small outing with family or friends. Also usually a Pokémon nest in Pokémon go!!

Nice little park in the heart of Gainesville.

This is a very nice place to get a away, but yet still be in town. Very convenient to NW area of Gainesville, and just a few minutes from I-75. The parking is nice, and there is a nice covered place to have a meal. There are hiking trails here as weil adjacent to a small creek. There is a nice place for children to play with nice park benches for parents to onlook. There are restrooms here. The park is kept tidy and clean along with the restrooms. This park closes promptly at 6pm. We will definitely be returning for a future visits as this is a nice urban/rural park.

Good nature! Good for picnic and little hiking! It is not far from the city.

Cute little park. Amenities are pretty new but they lack enough shade for most benches.

This is a beautiful small park with a small stream, themed gardens and lots of birds.

Nice short hike, the memorials are nice, and theres a Pokémon Go nest here too.

Best kept secret for Playgrounds. Its never crowded and the kids love walking the trail.

Amazing park with recent upgrades including covered pavilion, nature trails, butterfly garden, and playground. Also gas a tennis court

Great walk and well maintained. Park is new and they just revamped it!

Been going here for over 10 years, love it!

Nice updated playground, tennis courts, and a short walking trail.

Very small park with a little memorial garden and nature trail (not that much to see). Benches, playground area and tennis courts are available. There are rest room facilities.

Great place for pics

It is a great park for childrens birthday parties .... Loved it!

A little hidden gem with a playground, picnic area, restrooms, a little art area and hiking trail.

Great nap!

Quiet park. Play area for kids, reflection area for the adults.

My girl loved and so did I.

The trail is back open. Watch your step. A few trees are still down.

Great trail in the heart of Gainesville.

Good for a quick lunch ti.e hike
