Nature wise, this was a neat short visit and the pterocarpus trees are pretty cool. However, the rickety elevated boardwalk is in a state of disrepair and should be completely closed off from access. It is incredibly slippery, but more concerning is many weak spots in the planks - someone is going to send a foot straight through soon. If you do go, stick to the concrete pathway, that short walk was fine and safe.
A perfect place to see the beautiful kapok trees. So peaceful and utterly gorgeous. Very family friendly walks. Lots of varied wildlife too. We got to see an iquana that was about 3 feet long from tail to head. Highly recommend bringing kids here. If you desire a quiet place to walk in nature, this is it! Also has golfcart parking.
The Pterocarpus Forest has been abandoned. You are still able to enter at your own risk. There’s really nothing to see here… the “exhibits” are all gone. The cliff notes, it’s a rickety board walk through a swamp with trees.
A lovely preserve. Park to the right end of the lot (nearer the church) for close access to the trailhead. Part of the boardwalk was closed when we visited, but it still made a nice lollipop walk. It rained on both visits and the boardwalk metal can get slippery when wet. We saw 5 new bird species here (Gray Kingbird in the pictures)!
