The Piney-Z site, which gets its name from an abundance
of pine trees and z-shaped land configuration is located east
of Tallahassee about a mile off Apalachee Parkway. The property
was purchased by the city in 1995 and includes the 193-acre Piney-Z
Lake and 407-acres of surrounding property. The Piney-Z Lake is
one of the many lakes in the Lake Lafayette Chain and is currently
under restoration. After it's reconstruction, Piney-Z Lake will
be known as Piney-Z Fish Management Area. The area surrounding
the lake will be open to biking, picnicking, hiking and wildlife
viewing.
