Enjoying the Park

Hawkins Recreational Park is
located near Milton, Florida,
adjacent to Round Pen Bayou
on the Blackwater River. The Agency
for Persons with Disabilities (APD) has
renovated the park to provide persons with
disabilities and their families a place for
relaxation and recreation.

The park’s 23-acre landscape is filled
with assorted flowers, crape myrtle, and
magnolia trees. Its improvements provide
full accessibility to the park’s amenities,
providing people with disabilities the
opportunity to enjoy social activities with
their families. Three pavilions are available
for meetings and picnics. Grills are
located at each pavilion for cookouts. An
accessible bath house is available
for guests.

Round Pen Bayou
gives nature
lovers a place for
observing wildlife
in a serene setting.
Cypress, cedar,
and loblolly pine
trees abound. Families can stroll on nature
trails and a boardwalk trail as blue jays
and cardinals perch on branches nearby. A
fishing pier provides another enticing option
for recreation.

Using the Park

Florida residents with disabilities, their
families, and caregivers can enjoy Hawkins
Recreational Park at no charge. The park
is open year round. However, advance
registration is requested to ensure access
to the pavilions and grills.
