More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive through the iron gate at Markham Park and the city noise softens to a Florida hum: sawgrass brushing, an osprey circling a canal that dares you to look closer, and the scent of citrus from distant groves. A bell tent is assembled on level lawn; a low picnic table bears a charcuterie spread and flat sparkling water. Trails fan out from the site—packed dirt, grass, and boardwalks—easy underfoot and designed for slow exploration.
