Genevieve Randolph Park

A Slice of Tallahassee History

Genevieve Randolph Park is one jewel in the historic chain of parks that grace Park Avenue, a legacy dating back to the late 1800s. Its namesake, Genevieve Randolph, was the driving force behind the Tallahassee Improvement Association that established and beautified these downtown havens in the 1890s.

The park sits in downtown Tallahassee's urban landscape and offers a tranquil green retreat with those deep historical roots still very much intact.

What You'll Find

Nestled between Gadsden and Meridian streets, this peaceful 0.6 acre sanctuary provides a welcome break from the capital city's energy.

It's a fantastic place to unpack a lunch or simply sit and breathe when the workday gets too hectic.

More than just a pretty spot, Genevieve Randolph Park continues its original mission of adding beauty to the urban environment while giving both locals and visitors a place to reconnect with nature in the heart of the city. The park remains true to its roots, showcasing how Tallahassee has preserved green spaces within its urban development.
