Silver Springs To Become Florida State Park

[MermanJesse]

I used to work at Silver Springs. I performed in the animal shows. I did them all: alligators & other reptiles, bird of prey, exotic birds, creature features, alligator feedings.

I worked there before all the exotic animals were removed from the park, now they are removing the Carousel and the Lighthouse.

Keep in mind that there is already a Silver River State Park right next door. I wouldn't be surprised if they just expand the boundaries.

That's wonderful! Silver Springs is such a pretty place!

Hi Merman,
That's very nice news... I am very happy to hear about it... The Florida State Parks encompass the majority of the lands that fall under the authority of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection... There are 161 such entities, including nature reserves, recreation areas, and historic sites, which can be found in every corner of the state... New park lands are added from time to time, as landowners make gifts of property to the state, and when municipalities choose to turn over control of their historical sites to the state...
Yeah... we really like this type of park in Silver Spring. Locksmith Silver Springs MD
