Based on my past 5 years experience of running 18-22 miles a week here in TV, there are no areas of grass to walk south of 466 that are not private yards except for a few short, detached sections next to some Villa walls, golf courses and along multi-modal paths. I have not done many runs north of 466. I have done a couple of runs from Fenney back to Fernandina but those also require running road birms and multi-modal paths.
Lake Okahumpka Park, on SR44 between Morse and Buena Vista does have about 1 mile of improved dirt trails.
Our sidewalks and multi-modal trails do provide many choices to vary walking routes but the surfaces will be concrete (very hard) and asphalt (somewhat softer).
Keep walking,
Don
