Greetings from Leon County Parks and Recreation!

During COVID-19, many things have changed in our community. From schools transitioning to online learning to non-essential businesses closing, one thing that has remained constant is the beauty of our parks and greenways.

These rules are put in place to protect our natural beauty, other patrons and pets, and you. Learn more here.
