We were in Brooksville to get our second Covid shot and wanted to get a little exercise before lunch and the shot. I found this park on Tripadvisor and thought we would give it a shot There is a nice paved trail that meanders around a pond and a nice tree lined area. We extended our walk by going to the end of the trail and walking on an old golf course that had a paved loop of about one mile. It was hilly but very nice. This was perfect for a short walk.

Tom Varn Park...what's not to say? I spent countless hours at this park as a grade school kid in the 90's. They've gotten rid of some safety hazards to save tears while adding another pavillion and some type of Simon like memory game consisting of lights and patterns. I had friends over from Denmark and they complimented the architecture of it saying it is a better designed park than the best park in Copenhagen. Tom Varn Park has everlasting appeal despite ones age.

It was somewhat of a let down. First time we went there since the new equipment went up. My son is 12 and has mobility issues. He was unable to get on to use slide. He can manuveer stairs but not the climbing and balancing apparatus to utilize. Maybe add stairs to access slides.

Bathrooms are disgusting to the point of getting sick of my stomach. There is no toilet paper and definitely not a place for my kids.

The greatest and the staff are wonderful. Lots of activities and shady walking trails. There's always something going on and more activities are planned.

We've taken our grandson there several times. He has a ball! The playground has many things to climb, play chase and hide. Of course there are the traditional swings both for small and older kids. The park also has a baseball diamond and picnic pavilions.

Various events are held in the park year round. It is a nice park with shaded walk paths. It is kept clean by workers, especially after ball games and events. Pavilions and a nearby children's play area make it a good family/birthday gathering spot.

Can you walk a leashed dog on the walking trail?
Written 11 October 2019
I do not think pets are allowed at Tom Varn park less a service animal. The only park I know pets are allowed in is the Rotary Dog Park in Spring Hill. I work for Hernando County Parks so I get these questions often.
Written 26 February 2020

Written 3 August 2018
There is a fee to book a pavillion. go to Hernando County parks website for the phone number.
Written 3 August 2018
Contact Parks and Recreation for that answer. The pavilions must be reserved in advance with specification of what pavilion you want.
