Cascades Park

Cascades Park in Tallahassee is a lively destination filled with music, history, nature, and community spaces. At its center is the Adderley Amphitheater, a state-of-the-art venue named after jazz legends Cannonball and Nat Adderley, offering performances for all to enjoy. Families can cool off at Imagination Fountain by day and watch its colorful light and music shows at night. The Discovery playscape offers nature-inspired fun for children.

Visitors can walk, jog, or bike along 2.3 miles of paved trails that wind past peaceful ponds, open lawns, and pet-friendly areas. Historical features include the Prime Meridian Marker, Korean War Memorial, and the Smokey Hollow Commemoration, which honors a once-vibrant African American neighborhood. Cascades Park also serves as a stormwater management system that protects the city from flooding. With rental spaces at Parkview and the unique Voice of Trees sound walk, the park blends education, recreation, and culture in a beautiful outdoor setting.
