About the Business
Located in urbanized west Gainesville, Florida, Cofrin Nature Park is a serene escape from the city life. The park features a half-mile hiking trail, tennis court, playground, and pavilion, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers and families alike. Once a horse farm, the park is now returning to its natural state, with lush forests and picturesque Beville Heights Creek running through it. Visitors can admire the large hardwood trees, ferns, and wildflowers that thrive in the seepage wetlands along the creek. Whether you're looking to take a leisurely stroll, play a game of tennis, or simply relax in nature, Cofrin Nature Park is the perfect place to unwind. Visit during the park's operating hours of 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily from March 15th to September 30th, and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily from October 1st to March 14th. Don't miss out on this hidden gem in Gainesville!
Reviews
"Beautiful park, we hung up two natural ornaments in suicide awareness for our family member and a family friend."
"What should be a bare bones park is anything but. Very small, but still has a well paced nature trail, a decent playground, a tennis court, and a memorial garden. The property used to be an upscale residence with a horse pasture and tennis court. While the tennis court remains, the pasture has returned to nature and is a very nice educational resource to demonstrate how urban spaces can be re-natured very quickly"
"Beautiful place! Just wish it was more friendly for baby strollers."
"The nature trail was shorter than I expected but still an enjoyable, and thankfully shaded walk. Although, I wish I had seen more of the creek since the entry to the nature trail appears to be the only place to do so. The memorial garden for suicide survivors was also a thoughtful touch."
"Perfect trail for pets, kids, and anyone looking for a relaxed stroll. The playground is covered (at least mostly) and great for preschoolers and up. PLUS, the water fountain is cold. Big plus."
