The City of Florence is committed to preserving green space for parks and recreation.  This is the best legacy we can leave to future generations.  Whether parks are designed for active recreation with ball fields and tennis courts, or passive recreation with walking trails and benches, they are necessary components for a community's quality of life.  Take the time to visit each of our City's parks - even the new ones under development.  You'll be pleasantly surprised at how our parks system has grown.
