Mother’s Day weekend is upon us and you want to plan a fun adventure. Are you interested in getting outdoors without getting too far off the beaten trail? Below we have highlighted some of Florence’s scenic strolls, local parks, and where to enjoy a local bite to eat after!

Florence outings that offer the best of the city + nature:

Stroll through a rustic paradise at one of Florence’s local parks

• Deibert Park in Florence, AL is a tranquil park with walking trails and a picturesque pond. So pack a blanket, stay awhile, enjoy the view and company. Either plan a picnic or afterwards take her to lunch at Sweet Basil Alabama for a tasty local bite.

*Mother’s Day gift pairing: The Hoka One One Women’s Clifton 7 is not your typical running shoe. These shoes feel like marshmallows, will give her support all day long and are as stylish +vibrant as her. She will adore you and them.

 

 

Plan a picnic at the park 

• Deibert Park listed above is also a fantastic park for a picnic! With plenty of green space to get comfortable and wonderful views of the pond, we can’t think of a more serene place to have a picnic.
  
  
• Wilson Park in downtown Florence is known to the locals as the site for “Music in the Park” and other events. This Mother’s Day, change it up and pack a picnic, sit at the park, and enjoy the flowing fountain!

*Mother’s Day gift pairing: The Yeti Roadie 24 is a perfect gift for Mom. Give her the cooler as a gift, once she opens it- tell her you have the day planned, pack the cooler with her favorite bites and have a picnic at the park! 

 

 

 Get some light exercise in at a popular Florence urban trail + park

• Wildwood Park is located just minutes from downtown Florence. While known for its mountain bike trails, the park also has good walking/hiking trails for all to enjoy its beauty. The park also runs alongside Cypress Creek which is perfect for canoeing and kayaking if that is more of Mom’s speed.

*Mother’s Day gift pairing: She will love Free Fly Women’s Breeze Shorts anywhere she goes this summer. With ultra-soft bamboo lining, these lightweight and moisture-wicking shorts are perfect for all-day adventures. They are also super flattering and cute!
