In the heart of urbanized west Gainesville, Cofrin Nature Park features a half-mile long hiking trail the legacy of Mrs. Gladys Cofrin, an active environmentalist who had a horse farm and family homestead on this site. Large hardwood trees are found in the forest along picturesque Beville Heights Creek, and seepage wetlands on the slopes above the creek support lush growths of ferns and wildflowers.

The park entrance is controlled by gates and The park is open from 8 to 6, Nov-Apr, and 8 to 8, May-Oct. There are picnic tables and a portable toilet at the trailhead, plus a bike rack for passing bicyclists to park and take a walk on the nature trail. Parking spaces are limited.
