I have lived in Gainesville since 2014. I’ve watched this city grow and grow and grow. It is completely different, and no matter what I do in life I always find myself back here. There’s so much to do and see!

love the skatepark & the dog park is nice to watch the puppies play. there’s a playground, soccer goals and a nice trail to walk on. Gazebo with tables. Lots of space for hanging out with family, friends or your pets!
