Confirmed from Indigenous Park'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.
Park containing a Wildlife Rescue Center, wildlife trail & pond, picnic area, & 6 bocce courts.
What runners say about Indigenous Park
The park is part of the Key West Wildlife Center and has a walking trail through plants and trees indigenous to the Florida Keys. There is shade, flowers and a pond full of turtles! There are also public bocce courts.
Fantastic little park with a wildlife center, killer bocce courts, and a nice little trail where you can see local flowers, birds, and even some turtles if you're lucky. Just across the street from the pier and the beach, this is a great little part of Key West living.
A free garden a d bird sanctuary that is very pleasant to walk around. The garden is full of the local native species of plants. The sanctuary area is where they hold birds and other animals that are sick/injured or habe some other reason they were brought in.
Love this place, small because key west has been built up all around this beautiful place. The wildlife park inside, rehabilitates wild animals who are injured from boats, fireworks, fishing, etc. Amazing folks who run it.
Trail conditions & character
“The draw is easy, plentiful off street parking right next to Key West's main beach and a bocce court with 6 lanes.”
