McFarland Park is not on my bucket list because I have spent countless hours there, as I am sure many of you have. On the Florence city website it says that the park has been used by citizens for 10,000 years dating back to 8,000 B.C. You can read more on it's history at http://fpard.com/Parks/McFarland_Park/index.html. It is definitely one of my favorite Florence spots. You can bring a blanket or your hammock and take a nap or read a book. Located right on the river, it is the perfect place for relaxation.
You can plan a cookout or picnic with friends and family. There is plenty of space to play recreational games. More of McFarland's features include: sixty campsites, driving range for golfers, soccer field, picnic shelters with fireplaces, playgrounds, boat ramps, fishing piers, individual picnic tables, baseball fields, paved and lighted jogging trail around the harbor, restaurant and marine store, and boat slips. I have ran there at sunrise and it is breathtaking.
Sunset at McFarland is beautiful also! Really anytime (weather permitting) is a good time to get outside at the park! Spring Break is over but sometimes you still need a break from school, work, or other responsibilities. So slip away for some fun if you can!
