Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park combines historic ornamental gardens with lakeside scenery and outdoor recreation in Tallahassee.

Brick walks, a reflection pool, and enclosed garden spaces give the formal area a distinct character, with camellias and azaleas contributing seasonal interest. Other parts of the park offer a different, more expansive landscape.
Check current garden and park access arrangements before visiting, especially if you are coming for seasonal blooms. Formal-garden rules differ from the wider recreation areas, including restrictions on pets, food, and drinks. Choose the area you want to explore and allow for outdoor weather and walking distances.
