Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park

Very glad I kept driving past all the park entrances to find Gate B. Well maintained trail that had a large number of branches making it very repeatable for future trips. Absolutely loved the tranquility and diversity here. Was pleasantly surprised with the bat house, awesome mixing of park and biodiversity maintinence

Eleanor Klapp-Phipps Park is absolutely beautiful — such a hidden gem! The first thing you notice are the huge oak trees draped in moss, creating this peaceful, almost magical atmosphere. The trails wind through the woods with plenty of shady paths, making it perfect for a relaxing stroll even on warmer days. It’s a wonderful spot for a family walk or a dog outing — lots of space to explore, with scenic views around every turn. You can really feel connected to nature out there. The park is clean, well-maintained, and has a calm, friendly vibe that makes it easy to spend a couple of hours just wandering and taking it all in. If you’re looking for a quiet, beautiful place to enjoy the outdoors, Eleanor Klapp-Phipps Park is definitely worth the visit. We’ll be coming back again soon!

Very clean. plenty of wildlife with scenery to admire and capture on camera must visit if possible!

This is a great place to be outdoors year round. Hiking, running, biking, birdwatching, photography and horse riding are some of the things you can do here. There are a lot of single track and multi use paths going all over the place. This is near Warner Soccer Complex, Forest Meadows, Maclay trails and the Meridian Park baseball fields. Red Hills Horse Trials are held here.

Beautiful park! There are lots of trails to walk or ride, and they cross each other in quite a few places, making the distance of each hike completely customizable (2 mile hike fitting for young kid's energy level, day hike with a picnic lunch, or even just open green space to play or fly a kite in). There are multiple trail heads. Some trails are wide for horses, some have banked curves and are designed for mountain bikes, and others best suited to walking with narrow bridges over low spots. Each trailhead I've visited has had printed maps available at the trailhead sign and map. Trails are of varying levels of difficulty and incline, and the maps give information about each loop of the trail in regards to accessibility. Some trailheads have restrooms or Porta potties. This particular trailhead didn't have either. The City of Tallahassee and Leon County maintain some excellent trails! Info and maps (for trails that have maps) can be found online on the city's website.

I’m a Coach of cross country and we go there every year for our first meet of the year. Very beautiful and serine. We look forward to seeing it every season
