It took 8 years of hard work, funding, meetings, planning, and construction to bring the Cascades Trail Skateable Art Park & Coal Chute Pond to the public. It was a $2.8 million investment that officially opened in June 2022. The park is located at 810 FAMU Way.
At 225-feet long, the park has Florida’s longest snake run. The snake was designed to honor FAMU and features the school’s colors. Additionally, the trail offers a paved walking trail around the pond, lighting, shaded seating, water fountains, interactive musical instruments, and cell phone charging stations.
