A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Renee Paolini

As the weather gets warmer this year we invite you to visit Washington Oaks Gardens State Park where you will find plenty of shade in our oak hammock.  Live oaks tower over the 20 acres of formal gardens in the park, which creates the ideal scene to relax and enjoy Florida’s natural wonders.  You may also want to go fishing at the seawall, picnicking in the picnic area, walking on our nature trails, or visiting our Visitor’s Center and Friends Gift Shop.  We are in the final phases of an exciting restoration of a 1940’s historic greenhouse in the park and encourage you to visit the park and check out the progress.  Also, the beachside of our park offers visitors a great place to enjoy a unique coastal environment with one of the largest outcroppings of coquina rock on the eastern seaboard!  Come relax with us on the quiet side of Florida.
