Confirmed from Indian Hills Recreation Area's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Laid-back preserve featuring walking trails, picnic areas, a fishing dock and wildlife, including alligators.

“The city has really made this A beautiful place!”
“Handicap accessible trails for wheelchair users, and dog friendly (remember Ft Pierce has leash laws, so be considerate).”
Very nice walking trail. Some shaded areas. Covered area with picnic tables. Wildlife (alligators, birds, fish, and lizards.
Nice park for evening walks, or just to get out and get some fresh air. For the most park is pretty taken care of area but I guess some people just throw garbage everywhere (so sad) either way is a nice spot.
Nice park for walks with nature. Handicap accessible trails for wheelchair users, and dog friendly (remember Ft Pierce has leash laws, so be considerate). Watch your little ones and your pets, as there are alligators present.
Great place, from Frisbee Golf to live Gators this place has about everything you want to enjoy some time outside. There is two different spots here to enjoy the great outdoors.
