Price’s Scrub State Park is a 962-acre Florida state park located in Marion County, Florida.[1] The park has relatively high biodiversity with several natural communities, including its scrub, and is important in the proposed regional connection of conservation lands.[1] The park is a part of the proposed Northwest Marion Greenway.[2][3] This corridor would connect Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park to Goethe State Forest and could be used for recreational activities, particularly horseback riding.[4][5]
