Cascades Park is a 12-acre (49,000 m2) park along the stream known as the St. Augustine Branch in Tallahassee, Florida, south of the Florida State Capitol. It is a Nationally Registered Historic Place because it influenced the territorial government's choice of the capital city's location. As of 2006, most of the park is closed to the public because of soil and water contamination by coal tar released by a manufactured gas plant.(...) (from Wikipedia)
