[2] Green Springs Park is located near the north shore of Lake Monroe, approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of Interstate 4 in Enterprise, Florida.

[5] The park's ecosystem is primarily a hardwood hammock, host to several rare species of plant life, including Epidendrum magnoliae, or Green-fly orchid.

[6] Green Springs was once an important site for Native Americans such as the Mayaca and the Seminole, who favored for the supposed healing properties of its sulfur water.

[7] In December 1984, Bill Canty, who owned an adjacent five acre parcel, introduced a proposal to the Volusia County Council seeking to rezone the Green Springs site for a 250 unit condominium complex.

[9] In 1985, U.S. Representative Bill Chappell attempted to secure federal funds to purchase the spring and 29 acres (12 ha; 0.045 sq mi) of surrounding land from its private owner, Inga Friend, who had owned the property since 1954.
