As the Florida sun stretches across long summer afternoons, there’s a place where time slows and peace flows like a breeze through the trees – welcome to summer at Sholom Park.
Just north of On Top of the World, Sholom Park isn’t a destination for loud crowds or flashy attractions. It’s a place for something rarer: stillness. Here, the noise of modern life fades beneath the whisper of wind through live oaks, hickories, and pines.
This summer, the park feels especially peaceful. Whether you’re walking shaded trails, pausing by the labyrinth, or sitting beneath a tree with nothing but birdsong for company, every visit offers a gentle reminder: nature doesn’t rush – and neither should we.
Locals and visitors alike are rediscovering the simple joy of doing less. Morning walkers greet each other with quiet nods. Children explore the park in wide-eyed wonder. The yoga group gathers in the soft Saturday morning light, their feet grounded, their faces lifted to the sky. Even the turtles seem to bask in the sun a little longer.
“Sholom” means peace, and this park wears the name like a promise. In a world that often feels too fast, too loud, too connected, Sholom Park invites us to disconnect in the best way – and reconnect with ourselves and nature.
As summer moves gently forward, there’s no better time to visit. Bring a book, a journal, or just your open heart. Let the trees do the talking. Let the quiet teach you something new.
After all, peace isn’t a destination – it’s a practice. And at Sholom Park, it begins the moment you step inside.
