Just trying to mix up my cardio and hitting up parks lately. When it comes to any park, it's tough not to be a fan. This park is quiet during the day. But once 5 PM hits, it gets pretty busy. This park is off Aliante Parkway in between Nature Park & Deer Springs. You can chose to off Deer Springs or Nature Park. Both will get busy, but the Nature Park side fills up quickly. \n\nThere's plenty to do here;\n-Huge grass fields, both flat and hills\n-Picnic Area\n-Duck ponds (just watch, no feeding and definitely no swimming)\n-Outdoor tennis courts\n-Outdoor sand volleyball\n-Playground\n\nI need to comment on the playground. It's fenced in for children's safety and it gets packed. This is where everyone goes. You got kids running around enjoying while their parents sit in the middle benches either talking with each other or messing with their phones. Tons for kids to do at this park and if I still had a little one, we'd go here for sure. Sorry, didn't take pictures this time around. \n\nThe main reason for hitting up this park was simple. I needed to hit the ATM, get gas, and wanted to throw a quick 3 mile run in. Aliante Nature Discovery Park was perfect for my needs since there is a gas station across the street and my bank. I circled the park, which is exactly .75 miles if you stay on the path. After one orbit, I took my running to the streets. Overall, not a bad park and I'm sure I'll be back if I ever need gas, money, and a quick run again.
