One of the great things about all of the parks in the Village of Pinecrest is that you can enjoy each and every one of them every hour they are open for FREE! Yes, I said “FREE.” Children can enjoy the playgrounds; you can walk around and enjoy the beautiful grounds; you can shoot some basketballs through the hoops; you can enjoy your picnic lunch in a gazebo while using your computer at a WI-FI Spot; you can use the restrooms; you can ride your bike along a canal; you can feed ducks and do many more things. All for FREE while they are open.

In the mean time, use the parks often – for FREE. They are a wonderful respite for busy, hectic lives!
And don’t forget – the 
Patch will be coming to Pinecrest October 18 – very close to Flagler Grove Park.
My next topic will be about upcoming events in the Pinecrest parks.
