Spring training facility for the NY Mets. Older facility. Could use some more hand rails on the stairs. Park on grass $10. Lots of friendly and helpful volunteers. Local police help with traffic control. Bath rooms are small. Tiki bar. Berm behind fence on 1st base side, with sun deck behind. There is an adjacent practise field. Main field has no dugouts. Nathans hot dogs but no Nathans mustard. The announcer got the name of the visiting team wrong (!). Too many commercials, too loud, on the announcement system.
Left after 2nd inning....life long Mets fan, very disappointed. Was always a dream to visit here, big let down. Just moved to the area so this was on the top of the bucket list. Most annoying was Q-tip old timers in section 205 refusing to let people sit in the seats they purchased. Its reserved seating, not first come first served. What are you supposed to do with a bunch of geriatrics on their last legs though? Heard the argument over seating for the 4th time and just took the family and went home before things got ugly. No usher presence didn't help matters. Plus half the stadium was closed off for renovations compounding issues. Food options were decent, that was about the highlight. Wish this night ended differently, will probably be going to Rays, or Tortugas games moving forward.
Great stadium but they need to be more prepared for an abundance of fans they ran out of Nathan’s fries on the second game of spring training. But all and all great too bring the family

It's so pretty and relaxing here. I became a member and now I've taken the yoga and Tai chi classes as well. Great place! Only a $5 recommended donation to get in. There are picnic tables, and they sell plants here. All-around great place to visit.
So beautiful 😍 I love it here. Its a great walk and they keep it very nice and clean. They have a gift shop and very nice staff. Great parking and its handicap accessible.
Beautiful place, super friendly people! Thank you for being dog friendly!!!! We travel with our pups and it's hard to find pet friendly places. I loved the entire place. So many different plants, trees and cacti. Just a wonderful place and again the people when you walk in are so friendly and welcoming!
This is a nice peaceful place to visit. Not too small, not too big. I will definitely be back. The entrance fee is a suggested $5 donation. There is a nice park adjacent with a cool play area for the kiddos and a long boardwalk along the river.
Absolutely gorgeous and stunning grounds! Breathtaking beauty. I loved the garden center, such nice volunteers, thank you Shelia!
The Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens is hands down one of the most peaceful and underrated spots in the city. I came here with my daughter after a quick errand day and we ended up staying way longer than planned. The walking paths are beautifully maintained, the variety of plants and flowers is stunning, and there’s this calming, tropical vibe that makes you feel like you’ve escaped without ever leaving town. It’s a perfect spot to relax, take photos, or just breathe for a while. Before we came to the gardens, we stopped for lunch across the street at a place called Berry Forkin’ Good — and wow, it lives up to the name. We shared a smoothie bowl loaded with fresh fruit and granola, and tried one of their signature pink crepes (made from beetroot and totally gluten-free). The café has a super fun retro-Miami vibe, and the food was not only Instagram-worthy but genuinely delicious. Highly recommend if you’re looking for healthy food in Port St. Lucie that still brings the flavor. We had originally just gone to City Hall to sort out a quick utility issue, but somehow the day turned into a full-on Port St. Lucie adventure — from city services to an amazing lunch to a walk through one of the city’s most beautiful spots. Truly grateful for everything this area has to offer.
It’s such a beautiful place. The women who work and volunteer there were all so friendly and kind—they even spoiled my grandson! He loved exploring the plants and flowers. My daughter and I couldn’t resist and ended up purchasing a few plants ourselves. We didn’t get the chance to finish walking around this time, but we’ll definitely be back.
Nice, small, vibrant place where you can have a peaceful walk and buy some plants for your garden. Well maintained.

Savannas Preserve is my go-to place for hiking and reconnecting with nature. The trails are serene, and I love the view of the wetlands it’s a fantastic spot to kayak or bird-watch.
Good ride, parts of it are still at a construction even though it was rumored to be fully open. Lots of hog damage to the off-road trails
I spent a few hours exploring Savannas Preserve State Park. I hiked on 5 named trails and went as far as I could on each towards reaching the end unless water prevented me from continuing. The trails are well marked and clean. Very few people were around when I hiked on a Saturday morning. I heard, rather than saw, many birds. I did, however, watch a woodpecker at work from about 10 feet away. The Ranger at the park entrance was very helpful and knowledgeable about the conditions of the trails. The Education/Visitor’s Center was closed for renovations (and has been closed since 2021). With the Center closure, your restroom option is a porta-pottie. Savannas Preserve State Park entry fee is $3.
It was nice as it always is. But they probably don't know is the showers we not cleaned one time during my visit. By the time I left it looked like Auschwitz in the shower. Same blobs of soap and crud in the same spot for for 7 days. Someone isn't doing their job. The staff is great but the showers were horrible and never once cleaned. They advertise that they are cleaned everyday. Maybe they meant their own showers, but not these camp showers.... There's kids there.
We stayed on the main road for a nice walk no snake
Pretty place to put a kayak in but the trails are all under water so we weren’t able to bike past the second bridge which was just a couple miles in. The canoe launch is just .75 of a mile from the education center which is closed for renovations. There is a pit toilet and picnic tables at the launch area.
I happened to come across these trails on my way to West Palm Beach. I was looking for a place to get out and stretch my legs. The walking paths were beautiful and the scenery was very nice. There was only one other car there so it wasn't crowded at all and I seemed to be the only person there.
Great trails... some I was able to take the stroller on... others were too tight to do so but overall beautiful hiking spot.

Memorial park
Nature & Parks
Established in 1984, this park features a number of military memorials & a ceremonial pentagon.
Slide 1 of 8
This is one of several parks located along Veterans Memorial Pkwy in Port St. Lucie. This lovely 2.5 acre park was dedicated to veterans in April 23, 1995. It is laid out in the shape of a pentagon with 12 benches. Each of the five tips represent a different branch of the military recognized with a flag and emblems. Memorials in the park go back to the Revolutionary War and include a Vietnam Veterans wall, World War II memorial, Korean memorial, and Purple Heart memorial. On September 25, 2016, the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument was dedicated honoring the family members of those who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. On April, 2024, the newest memorial in the park was dedicated to the 349 Florida servicemembers killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It was created from 19,000 pounds of black granite from Chamarjnagar, India. The memorial was inspired by the National Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. and it was the the first memorial in Florida to honor the individual military personnel lost in these wars. This quiet and inclusive park provides a reflective environment for those who want to pay their respects to military service members. The area is lit at night to accommodate visitors who may wish to visit in the evening. There is also plenty of parking including handicapped spaces. This park is an important and poignant reminder of the sacrifices of our military personal through multiple conflicts across the years. The memorials are thoughtfully designed providing a deep sense of respect and remembrance. This park is a pleasure to visit for historical education and personal reflection.
It is a peaceful place to visit and reflect on those who gave their all to defend our way of life. Memorial Day is the most special day of the year for this Memorial park. With stories and music from a full orchestra and representation from all branches of military service.
We came there to meet for a ride and support ROMAN KNIGHTS MC. a beautiful park with a deep humble meaning and soul rooted in its ground
Very nice, great view of the water, peaceful, quiet, beautiful place to honor our soldiers
Very nice to see the memorial's. Very meaningful and appreciate dedications to our great military. It's a nice walk as well and kept clean. It's my understanding that in the future the 2 "boardwalks" will be connected so the botanical gardens will be reachable which is a great idea. There are bathrooms, picnic tables, grills as well as public boat launches. Apparently you need a permit to have alcohol there if you have a get together in the pavilion area. I definitely recommend a visit if your looking for a nice day out. Right next door there are also restaurants in which one is hurricanes which is good food and not too expensive. I didn't post pictures of the memorial because it's better if you see them in person.
Very special place. A must visit when in Port St. Lucie. Very heartfelt and an incredible reminder of what our men and women in the armed forces do to protect our country. God bless them all. What an incredible sacrifice they all have to protect the land they loved.
Among the many things I appreciate about Port St Lucie is the abundance of park areas. The city doesn't mind spending money to provide residents with safety, recreation & comfort!
A very nice place for a walk with the family. Lots of shade and grassy areas. There are a couple of gazebos with grills.

Slide 1 of 8
This charming park features a dock, walking trail, small playground, and a cozy gazebo area. It offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of daily life. Though slightly off the beaten path, it's a lovely spot to visit.
It's a nice place for a walk along the water, a picnic or to sit and enjoy the sunset. The devil's tree story is a bit creepy.
A hidden gem in PSL with very nice trails and very mature (I estimate 100-plus year old) palmettos, live oaks, Spanish moss and other native Florida flora and fauna.
Beautiful piece of nature in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. I love that there's a path that takes you through the wooded area. I appreciate the green space. Ample shade and no bugs! We enjoyed our time here and will definitely frequent the park often.
Nice area with two easy walking trails. There are picnic areas. Beautiful oaks.
Beautiful park with trails and lots of wildlife. Met some very nice people there as well. Highly recommend!
You can definitely get a view of wildlife here from Gators, frogs, birds, etc. Beautiful hidden trail, nice area for bbq, and great for a quick stop in nature.
Nice little park. You can park your car near the main bldg (with clean restrooms) and the boat dock. Walk along the canal or walk in the short trails in the wood (shade trails) behind the main bldg. We walked for about 2 miles, we enjoyed it and took a few pictures of The Devil Tree.

Island park featuring a boat ramp, fishing, trails, picnic pavilions, grills & a playground.
Slide 1 of 8
This beautiful twelve acre island park is located on the north fork of the St. Lucie River. In the early 1960's the Kintz family, established a small fishing camp here. The marina has undergone several expansions and renovations over the years. Today it includes a boat launch and a small dockside store that carries bait and fishing supplies for people who want to fish off the platforms and piers throughout the park. River Park Marina is not just a fishing destination. The park also has restrooms, pavilions with picnic tables and grills, and a large playground. There is canoe and kayak launch and this is a great park for bird watching, both from land and from the river. There is also a hiking trail through the park. River Park Marina is the home of River Lily Cruises on a trident pontoon boat with a covered canopy. It is the longest continuously operating tour in St Lucie County. They offer an hour and a half eco tours that departs at 11 AM, October through July. They also have an Evening Relaxation Cruise on a different part of the river. Check their website for times, reservations, and prices.
I love this place! It has a nice little nature walk in the back down a path. It leads to water always pretty for a picture. They also have a nice-size newer playground for the kids they love it🛝, also it is not very far from one of the many docks where you can fish, or soak in the sun! Also the park does offer loading docks for boating🚤, as well as pavilion’s great for a birthday party, or to sit and have lunch ! Not very often is it crowded, always lots of space for parking, and bathrooms on-site as well! I don’t live far so I go as often as I can ⚓️♥️🌴!! I definitely recommend you do the same! 😊 Great with family and friends to relax, play, fish, also that take a nature walk as you can see in my pics! Or just a quick recharge for yourself 🌞🧘‍♀️! I most definitely recommend checking it out for yourself 😊👍 Okay, I wanted to share this in hopes that I was able to help with some questions or with any curiosity about the atmosphere in general. 🫶 It’s great.
Went by on a ride and decided to stop in this small yet very cute marina park. Great for walking of you can take the heat, or take a cruise on the Boat Cruise offered onsite. Support local while the Snowbirds are away
I find this park to be so beautiful and peaceful ❤️. Always has visitors; both young and old. The boat boat ramp gets used frequently. This park is not a waste of tax payers money and gets treated with respect by most. No matter how many or few people are at the park at the same time; it's never a loud crowd, the bathrooms and park are almost always clean.
This park is a great place for a day with the family & friends. I recently went there on a beautiful Florida afternoon. Has a boat launch, clean playground, picnic tables, clean restaurants, and it's located on the river right at the over pass on Prima Vista. Nice for myself to take a walk, and get some fresh air, with sunny weather & a cool breeze, on this day.
Great atmosphere to just get away and relax, fish, boat or taking the kids to the playground
Nice clean park with view of the water on both sides. There’s sidewalks and a large playground. Obviously, if you bring kids, you need to be hyper vigilant of water safety because it’s very close to the playground and it would be easy for a toddler to wander off if a parent looked away for a minute or two.
While searching for a walking trail in the area we landed this park. It’s a great place for many outdoor activities. Family friendly. There are picnic tables, playground area for the kiddos, boat launch and kayaks area but we didn’t get to use any of those services. It’s pretty chill and there are trails for a nice walk. The views of the river is so relaxing. There are some wildlife as well. All around beautiful scenery. If you like nature and/or want a quiet space to clear your mind or else, you’ll like it there.
