Oyster Creek Regional Park encompasses over 250 acres of environmental lands, as well as a 50-acre active use area. The environmental lands at Oyster Creek Regional Park are a sanctuary of old growth pines, scrub habitat, and mature pine flatwoods with mangrove fringe along Oyster Creek. The pine flatwoods are overgrown with a 50-70% canopy of healthy, mature South Florida Slash Pine. In the open areas of the pine flatwoods broomstraw, wiregrass, blueberry, runner oak, St. John’s wort, blackroot, pine braken fern, and dwarf wax myrtle are the most common ground cover species.
