**Reel Review - Tom Petty Park - Gainesville**

*Reel Review - Tom Petty Park - Gainesville*
Located in Gainesville away from the university or downtown, this is rebranded park. This was formerly know as Northeast Park. As far as parks go, this is a very basic, average park. One shelter pavilion, couple baseball fields, couple tennis courts, couple racquetball courts (that you need to be able to duck down to get into), dog park, playground with some old school metal equipment, and a small paved trail.
Now as far as anything Tom Petty goes, this park falls way short except for the entrance and tennis court signs. Nothing in this park other than those items pay any homage to the great Tom Petty who hailed from Gainesville. Not a mural, not a sculpture, not even a tree (although there is one dedicated to someone else). Kind of a sad tribute in my opinion. Glad I was down the road eating and didn’t make a separate trip out of my way for this.
