South Tallahassee is home to numerous parks
Golfing, hiking, birding, and lots of ball fields for the kid—South Tallahassee appeals to those who enjoy the great outdoors. But this Tallahassee suburb also offers easy access to downtown and area universities. “South Tallahassee is a great location to be close to things. It’s not way out of the city, so it’s still a convenient commute to work or school,” says Liz Kuntz, a Realtor with Keller Williams Town & Country and a 24-year-resident of Tallahassee. “Plus it’s got great parks, the golf course is right there, and it’s near FAMU [Florida A&M].” With Florida A&M and other Tallahassee colleges and universities nearby, townhouses, condos and apartments cater to the student population present in the community.
The Robert White Williams Birding Trail was purchased by the city as a preservation effort.

Capital Park has playgrounds and baseball fields
Named after the first female African American Leon County commissioner, the Anita L. Davis Preserve at Lake Henrietta Park is a pleasant place for a nature stroll. Anglers and birdwatchers converge on Silver Lake Park, where the sharp-eyed might see bald eagles, turtles, armadillos and alligators. More than 150 species of birds have been identified along the Robert White Williams Birding Trail, which begins off Orange Avenue just north. Families stay busy at Capital Park, which has two playgrounds as well as two baseball diamonds outfitted for league play. On the National Register of Historic Places, the nine-hole Jake Gaither Golf Course opened in 1956 and provided African American residents a place to golf during a time when they were restricted from playing elsewhere.
Ball fields at Capital Park host little league games in South Tallahassee.

The Classic Hobbit Burger comes with cheese, mayo and spicy mustard
Part of a Tallahassee mini-chain, the Hobbit American Grill serves wings, Philly cheese steaks and burgers. Beyond the Hobbit Burger and Hobbit Toast, the Lord of the Rings references are kept to a minimum and no second breakfasts are served. Fast-food joints line Orange Avenue to the north, and residents can stop for groceries at Publix just south in Forest Village Shopping Center. Woodville Highway and Crawfordville Road funnel through South Tallahassee, becoming Monroe Street and Adams Street. “People can quickly hop into downtown for work or if they want to eat,” says Kuntz, “making South Tallahassee a great and convenient location.”
