Palm Coast by Golf Cart: European Village, Parks and Town Center

European Village

European Village, at 101 Palm Harbor Parkway, is a gathering spot near Palm Coast Parkway and the Intracoastal Waterway. Restaurants and shops surround its courtyard, and it hosts markets and festivals through the year. It makes an easy stop for lunch, dinner or a night out, and a six-seat cart rolls up with the whole group at once. Check the event calendar before you go, since markets and festivals can make it busy.

Linear Park and the trail network

Linear Park runs between the eastbound and westbound lanes of Palm Coast Parkway, and its trail connects to the Intracoastal Waterway Trail. From there, the St. Joe Walkway heads toward Waterfront Park. The trails are for walking and biking, so park the cart and stretch your legs. It is an easy way to add a walk or a bike ride to a cart day.

Waterfront Park on the Intracoastal

Waterfront Park, at 150 Waterfront Park Road, covers 20 acres along the Intracoastal Waterway and is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day. Inside you will find:

• Three picnic pavilions and a covered patio
• A playground
• A fishing pier and a floating dock
• Restrooms and a bike maintenance station

Visitors often spot manatees and dolphins in the Intracoastal. Pack a lunch, claim a pavilion and give the kids some time on the playground before you roll on.

Central Park in Town Center

Central Park, at 975 Central Avenue, sits in Palm Coast's Town Center, north of State Road 100. A half-mile brick path circles the central fountain, and the park has an amphitheater and hosts city events like Food Truck Tuesday. It is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, with restrooms and trail access. Walk the loop around the fountain, then find a bench and watch the town go by.

Plan your route before you roll

Palm Coast is spread out. European Village and Linear Park are near Palm Coast Parkway, Waterfront Park sits on the Intracoastal, and Town Center is its own area north of State Road 100. Getting between them can mean using the city's main roads, so plan ahead:

• Check the posted limit on every stretch. A street-legal cart can drive where the limit is 35 mph or less and cross faster roads at intersections, but it cannot travel along them.
• If the only way to a stop is a road posted above 35 mph, take the car for that leg or make it a separate outing.
• Keep the cart off trails, sidewalks and bike paths.
• Expect more traffic around events at European Village and Central Park.
• Bring your driver license, which Florida requires to drive a low-speed vehicle.
