A housing community is currently under development to the east of the Park along Del Prado. The future site for the Academic Village, a planned development for educational and recreational facilities, is opposite Del Prado Boulevard to the southwest of the Park. Most of the surrounding lands are proposed for intensive urban development. The Preserve consists of forested uplands, pine flatwoods and freshwater herbaceous wetlands. Melaleuca and other invasive plants are found in many areas throughout the Park. Portions of the headwaters of Yellow Fever Creek are found on the property. |
