Respondents on a survey by A Mission for Michael ranked Perry Lakes Park in Marion #2 for go-to spots for natural therapy.
Perry Lakes Park was noted for its use of boardwalks that wind through a cypress swamp. Respondents chose it for having a sense of silence and calmness.
Places such as these are said to have mental health benefits in reducing stress.
“For many people, spending time in quiet, grounding places can be an incredibly powerful way to manage everyday stress,” says Anand Mehta (LMFT), Executive Director at A Mission for Michael. “Of course, not everyone needs clinical support - but for those who do, we’re here. And for those who don’t, places like these can still offer meaningful relief.”
