TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – The popular Florida State Park is booked in the summer after a reservation system has been in place.
Earlier this month, Florida State Park announced that Wekiwa Springs State Park visitors will need to book if they plan to stop by the park from March 12th to September 1st.
The new system was introduced to prevent lines from forming just hours before the park opened.
