Optimist Park is a lovely spot to take a break. Have a picnic, kick a ball around or just lie on the grass and close your eyes for a while.

This recreation and green space is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Tallahassee. But Optimist Park isn't the area's only drawcard. Florida State University, The Centre of Tallahassee, and Governor's Square Mall are some other interesting sights close by.
