Best Place To While Away An Afternoon With A Toddler

Mayfield Park & Preserve

With peacocks, fish, water flowers, and a maze of lush little pathways, Mayfield Park & Preserve is a paradise for wee ones. And given its ample shade and beautifully soaring palm trees, it's a peaceful park for parents too, a welcome change from the plastic playscapes found elsewhere around town. Take a picnic and admire the handiwork in the tiny community garden plots that add to the atmosphere.
