Confirmed from Maggy's Hammock 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.
Wooded park with picnic spots, playgrounds and a playground area.
What runners say about Maggy's Hammock Park
“There are also well maintained paths through the trees and brush if you enjoy exploring.”
“Beautiful, ideal to share with the family the very beautiful landscape takes you to a special level of peace so be sure to visit it”
“A nice shaded trail, but the park is in the sun.”
“Nice, quiet park with large oak trees overhanging the concrete path.”
You always hear about hidden gems, but rarely are they gems. This one is. Didn't have lofty expectations about this park, but was surprised to find a unique trail with four unique biomes and fun habitats on an easy walk. There's a little playground in the middle of the park.
Part of the Great Florida Birding Trail, ADA accessible paved walkway, limited parking for 5-7 vehicles, sections of oak, Scrub, and pine, the unpaved walking trails could be marked a little better.
Perfect park for a quick hike and then stop in the clearing for covered picnic table, playground and small field. Nice tight foot paths travel in a loop from oak hammock to pine/scrub land. One paved path goes across entire park with playground at halfway point. Flora, fauna and fun, a great park for a variety of uses.
It a great place to do natural hiking, take pictures with some trees, play with friends and families, do picnic, explore and more. There are some reading spots out of condiction, but is ok.
