Tallahassee City Parks

As of June 5, 2022, this is the list of parks on the official Talgov.com/parks PDF. Some of them, like the Animal Services Center, may not be “parks” per se, and there are a few which are in planning and not yet open (marked as “future”). I’ll leave these on the list and make notes as we encounter them. (Note: They have 87 line items on their PDF, but there are only 86, as #72 is skipped. I took me a few times trying to find my error before I saw their numbering error.)
