Things to see and do in South Florida, brought to you by people who live in South Florida! |
South Florida Accessible RecreationMany South Florida parks and activities have been designed to be accessible to everyone. Since there doesn't seem to be any good list as to exact which parks are and which aren't, we are now maintaining this new list of accessible parks in South Florida. Some parks may only have paved trails, others may have wheelchair-accessible playground equipment - we will make note of what offerings are available inside of each park's article. We hope that you enjoy this new list. |
Halpatiokee Park
Halpatiokee Park in Stuart is a park mostly dedicated to sports fields, but we visited specifically for the nature trails. As part of the Florida Trail, the nature trails at Halpatiokee follow the SW fork of the St Lucie River for almost eight miles through a hardwood hammock. With bridges and picnic spots along the way, as well as a canoe/kayak launch, this is one of the nicest trail segments in South Florida.
Halpatiokee Park has fields for soccer and baseball, as well as paved paths for skating and running. There are restrooms, and a childrens' playground. (Halpatiokee Park continued)
