Want to see giant gators? UPCLOSE? This is the place! Be aware that they can get right on the walking path so if you want to see them from a further distance, try Sweetwater Wetlands Park instead.

Did you know that Gainesville has the 2nd largest bat population in the Southeast? On warm nights you can watch them pour out and swoop around the sky above the food field and Lake Alice. They come out at dusk, but get there early for good parking and beautiful sunsets.
