Confirmed from Ungarelli Preserve'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.
Nature preserve with kid-friendly hikes, picnic tables, and wildlife sightings.
What runners say about Ungarelli Preserve
“Beautiful weather for a sweet short stretch here with my family.”
Nice place to free your mind of stress good hike used to come here all the time with my girlfriend and my dogs this is first time ive been back since she committed suicide.... Enjoy your life and the ones in it...
Lots of walking trails. Picnic benches under the gazebo. Handicap parking. Some shaded parking..
This is a newly developed Park area for just relaxing and taking in The View. It's not very large but it is very beautiful. it is located on the west side of the road about a quarter of a mile from Cortez Road. There's a gazebo with a couple of benches for sitting and viewing nature.
This is a very small trail but very nice. Southern part of Palma Sola Bay. Many people like to bird watch and enjoy the day. Really close to Anna Maria Island and also close to where you can see manatees. North on Palma Sola Boulevard. A nice place to stop and take a breather if you are bicycling or jogging or walking.
