Good News for Florida State Parks

Governor Rick Scott says no to closing many Florida State Parks, proposing to cut spending by water management districts instead.

I am so glad that my family will still get to enjoy these resources!

We went to Devil's Millhopper this weekend.  It's such an amazing place, and it's surprising how many local residents don't even know this beautiful place exists.

Our parks are treasures and should be treated as such!

Potential State Park Closings

Recently, the state of Florida announced that they may be closing up to 53 State Parks.
You can find a listing of the parks that may close here.

Devil's Millhopper State Park, Gainesville, Florida

Two of the parks that are closest to the Gainesville area are the Dudley Farms State Park in Jonesville, and Devil's Millhopper in Gainesville.



It's such a shame that they're even thinking of closing these parks.  They are one of the least expensive ways to get out and about with your family, and enjoy the natural beauty that this beautiful state has to offer.
They're a great way to have technology-free times with your family.
