NPS Photo This small park is named for Homer P. Williams, an engineer who was in charge of the construction of the Tamiami Trail (Highway 41) in the 1920s. Designated in 1965 by the Florida Legislature, this park is older than the Preserve and a great stop for wildlife viewing and experiencing your public lands. |
