Confirmed from SouthWood GreenSpace, Tallahassee, FL'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.
What runners say about SouthWood GreenSpace, Tallahassee, FL
“There's a beautiful pool, children's area, Paths throughout the park and around the pond.”
Great park for a quick hike around the lake. People are friendly and you can potentially see quite a bit of wildlife. It’s located very close to the historic southwood house so there is actually a lot more in this area than meets the eye.
This is absolutely one of the best open space parks in Tallahassee! There's a beautiful pool, children's area, Paths throughout the park and around the pond...this is a very well kept and thought out park!👐
Such a wonderful place! We didn't know such a nice place existed inside Tallahassee. The walking/running tracks and other facilities are really nice. Also the restaurants (El Jalisco, Canopy Road Cafe etc.) in the area are pretty good.
Peaceful and wide open spaces. Great running/walking/biking path. Close to a c ok hole of restaurants on Merchants Row. Large playground by the tennis courts.
