Radium Springs Gardens is stunning. I loved the markers and learning the history. Most definitely a must see.

The city is currently (2023) fighting an invasive plant in the water, which makes Radium Springs Gardens not quite as pretty, but still nice. Interesting fact: this is the entrance to an underwater cave system several hundred feet long.
Also, beware: the city closes the park if it is sprinkling rain or expecting rain.

Hard to believe there used to be a thriving tourist business at this almost forgotten piece of Americana. Wander for a while and imagine what it was like in its heyday.
[Cosmic_Adventurers, 07/23/2023]Pretty little park to stretch legs on a long trip. The handout map makes it hard to understand what the layout truly was. There is a better map on the wall between the clean restrooms. The water had algae so it was not so pretty.

Radium Springs flooded and is closed for repairs. The clean up crew allowed us to go in and take some pictures before their supervisor showed up and chased us out!
