POSSUM CREEK PARK

Location and Hours

4009 NW 53rd Ave, Gainesville, Fl

Dawn to Dusk

Fees

Free, unsure if there is a fee to reserve covered patio.

This is a large park, 76 acres.  They have a large playground, covered patio with picnic tables and bbq grills, soccer fields, huge skateboard area, 2 fenced dog areas-1 for small dogs and 1 for large dogs, gazebo and nature trails.  At one end of a nature trail there is a huge over area ideal for kite flying and picnics. There are restrooms.
Warning-while in the woods on the nature trails there are roots, be careful where you walk.
And, mosquitos.
Downside is when you are walking on the trails, you hear all the traffic noise.

All in all, I was impressed with this park.  Awesome area for families and kids.
