About the Location
A Step Back in Time
Stretching along Park Avenue in downtown Tallahassee, McCarty Park is one of seven historic green spaces forming a green corridor through the city center. Nestled between Leon Park and Bloxham Park, this charming spot carries a bit of Florida's early story with it.
The park bears the name of William M. McCarty, who made his mark on Florida history as the territory's first Secretary back in the 19th century when Tallahassee was just finding its footing.
What You'll Find
Step into McCarty Park and you'll appreciate the thoughtful landscaping and those magnificent mature trees that offer a welcome respite from Florida's sunshine. It's a peaceful little urban oasis where you can take a break from the downtown bustle without actually leaving the city.
Winter Magic
If you visit during the holiday season, you're in for a special treat. The park undergoes a magical transformation into "Candy Cane Lane" as part of Tallahassee's annual Winter Festival. The space comes alive with twinkling lights and festive decorations, creating a whimsical winter wonderland that makes for a delightful evening stroll, even in Florida's mild December weather.
