The Palmetto Leaves Park has two entrances. One is on Greenland Road and is called the North Entrance and has a kids playground, picnic tables, paved walking trails and baseball diamonds. We will get more pictures and video of that park very soon. Today we went to the South entrance on St Augustine Road that only has one picnic table with Bar B Q grill, a bathroom and small floating dock to put in your canoes or kayaks. We took some pictures of the park about a year and a half ago and today we took some video of the park for you to enjoy. You can fish from the dock and my nephew says there are some bream and catfish to catch.

Here is a video of the park we took today around 5:00pm. The movie is a little shaky and the video shots are kind of streaky as I don’t have a filter on my little digital camera but the sun is shining. There is a slight breeze and the place is peaceful. There is only one other car there in the park at that time of day. It is a very small park but is an oasis in the middle of the suburbs well worth a little trip.
