(WTXL) â With it's beautiful design and numerous amenities, one local park has been a hub in our community for the past seven years. Cascades Park extends across 24 acres near downtown Tallahassee. The park is known for it's beauty, but designed with an important function. "It's a storm water management facility, designed as a water class park," Tallahassee Assistant City Manager Wayne Tedder said. "While it looks incredible for everyone that comes here, it serves a major purpose to address not only storm water flooding, but also storm water treatment that is necessary to protect our lakes down stream of this facility."
