    Quiet Area

    I've been to Holloway Park twice. There's a hiking trail, a couple of lakes and a long strip of mowed grass that has wheel stops to delineate parking spaces. It's an underused park which makes it great for sitting down in your lawn chair in...More

    Unusual terrain that's great for hikers, runners and geocachers.

    Went there with a group of geocachers. This is an old former phosphate mine that was minimally reclaimed by the owners. Has very interesting rolling terrain with lots of trees and nice vistas. Has enough shady areas, so not always in the blazing sun. Many...More

    We ran a half marithon in the park

    The park in not far off of 98, just a ton of room for any out door activity. There is over 400 acres of land with all kind of trails great place for dogs and kids.

    Quiet & peaceful - great for walking!

    park is new-well maintained. Did not see any bathroom facilities-could use a few more benches to enjoy the wildlife. Otherwise, paths well marked, shady areas & a few picnic tables- mks for a nice peaceful walking experience. Not much wildlife yet but I can see...More

    Hidden gem

    Live very close and had no idea this was here. Very neat place with fun trails. It is old mining area so lots of hills and other unexpected features. Would rate a 5 if bikes were allowed but I understand why they are not.

    The course is marked well and well maintained. At times the grass is a little high (I have not seen it unmanageably high), and if run in the morning you will take in a good bit of water in the socks and shoes for the...More

    Great Trails

    Great running trails. Bikes not allowed. It's wooded and hilly and not at all like Florida. Bring bug spray and a camera.
