"Every home faces 1 of the 8 great parks each with a distinctive character..."
|
In order to promote value we increase amenities, Morningside Development includes eight (8) unique parks. The parks have been expanded and differ from the usual community park as well as many features were added to the parks to encourage usage. Unlike most typical subdivisions where parks are merely undeveloped wetlands and retention ponds, we took highly valuable property and developed parks. Every home faces one of the eight great parks each with a distinctive character:

The Nature Conservancy
 Acting as a buffer from the world, this park lies along Highway 231 and north of the entrance. Approximately 16 acres, the park is natural woodland. Appropriate for hiking, camping and wildlife discovery.
Fiddler McGee
A protected preservation natural area buffer between Morningside and the outside world. The wood is 7 acres in size and is enhanced by walking trails and the spirit of the crazy 'ol gent who loved to play his fiddle to tell stories to the young kids, Fiddler McGee.
Gateway Park
As an arts park, transitions from the town homes and the uptown area to the peaceful fountain park, This park is laid back with relaxing areas and lush landscaping.
Jump Street Park
 Our activities park. With a large play area containing slides, swings and other play apparatus. This park will fill itself with kids laughter, parents and grandparents smiles. Picnic tables are close to the play area for the play lunch or for sitting perch for grandpa.
Lake Anne
This serene and quaint lake is about 8 acres large and is located in the center of the property. Lake Anne is naturally contoured with the entire east side lying next to the nature conservancy. You can  watch the morning sun rise over the tall pines bay magnolias of the woods and at sunset see the gleam of the setting sun on the bay trees. A sidewalk or walking path encircles the lake and is great for a casual stroll or a more strenuous jog. The lake is a great place to drown a worm, but it is catch and release.
Madison Square
 A more formal park where you can find friends, family and neighbors competing for fun, a game of chess. At this park, you will also find a group on the steps practicing for a play. It would not be surprising to find someone with a guitar entertaining a small group in the center stage area. This upscale park will sponsor art events throughout the year.
Remembrance Park
A place of quiet retreat. A reflective and contemplative place with special “private” areas for such endeavors. This is the second largest park within the property.
 Tower Park
The largest park inside the development. The view from the west end of the park features a complete panorama of spacious lawns and landscaping with the 65 foot Kitts Tower in the center. The Victorian bell tower, at night this tower is lit and also features back lit stained glass windows. Looking past the tower is Lake Anne. The park is about 5 acres, is relatively open and lends itself to strolling, playing ball, picnicking and festival gatherings.
