A Peaceful and Engaging Escape
Alpine Groves Park, a family and pet-friendly destination, is nestled in Switzerland, Florida, and maintained by the town's Garden Club. The park blends beauty, historical charm, and recreational opportunities, offering visitors a peaceful escape. Surrounded by lush oak trees, the park provides a backdrop for relaxation and exploration.
A Rich History and Culture Blended with Natural Beauty
The history of Alpine Groves Park is as rich as its landscape. In the 19th century, the land was part of an orange grove during the height of the citrus industry. Remnants of that era remain through three preserved historic structures: the Bennett House, the horse stables, and a citrus sorting shed. These buildings offer visitors a window into life in the 1800s and add cultural depth to the park's natural appeal.
A stroll down the pier reveals breathtaking views of the St. Johns River, making it a perfect spot to catch a sunset.

Amenities at Alpine Groves Park cater to various interests. Guests can enjoy self-guided tours, a boat and dock marina, a playground for children, and well-maintained nature trails. Picnic facilities provide an inviting setting for gatherings, while a fishing pier and dedicated wildlife viewing areas, including a butterfly garden, offer activities for nature lovers. The park also has clean restroom facilities, and leashed dogs are welcome, making it an ideal outing for pet owners.
