Rollins Savannah was my next destination and the one I was most excited for to check out. I spent near three hours here and took plenty of pictures. If I had more time in Illinois, I would have spent multiple days checking out this park. Rollins Savannah is a series of trails and parks and even with all the images
For my next adventure in Illinois, I visited Greystone Park. The weather took a cold and windy turn so I found a smaller park to explore. Greystone Park is set up quite similar to the last park I visited. A single path at the entrance leads to a small playground. The rest of the park is a large open field
I traveled to Chicago Illinois to visit family. But that doesn’t mean I can’t explore some parks near where I’m staying. My first stop on a cold day was Oak Tree Park. I’m actually staying in a suburb of Chicago called Round Lake. Its far to the north of the city. I’m actually closer to Milwaukee, Wisconsin than Chicago. Anyway,
I am all settled in in Longwood, Florida. There are plenty of parks nearby and a specific one caught my eye. Let’s see what I found at Reiter Park.

Northbank Riverwalk many of the things I
I took a night stroll to Friendship Park. Its the one spot of the Southbank Riverwalk I had not documented yet. After traveling the trail at sunset, I knew the best way to explore this park was at night. Friendship Park normally would have a lot more to show. But as you can see in a couple of the pictures
After my amazing adventure at the riverfront, I realized I missed a park. So I went to check out St. John’s Park. Let’s see what this quiet space had to offer. While much smaller in size than my last adventure, this peaceful corner right near downtown has its own appeal. St. John’s Park is an interesting name for this place
At long last I reached Southbank Riverwalk in downtown Jacksonville. Since the day I moved here I have wanted to explore this area for my travel blog. Let’s dive right in. This was an amazing adventure. I started with the Southbank Riverwalk. It is the shorter of the two trails and has far fewer parks. In fact, there is only
After leaving San Marco, I moved towards the Jacksonville Riverfront. First up I traveled to Jessie Ball DuPont Park. It used to be called Treaty Oak Park. Jessie Ball DuPont Park is a large circular park with a major landmark right in the center. I’ll get to that in a moment. Let’s talk about the rest of the park. This
