Spinnaker compiled a list of UNF’s 10 Gyms and more than 70 Pokestops so you can properly plan your journey to class. Students who somehow aren’t fans of Pokemon can roll their eyes and get annoyed with students staring at their phones, but campus is a goldmine for trainers.
Receiving much love from game creators, perhaps in the effort to get people outside, UNF’s trail systems feature nearly 30 stops and three gyms. Many of the stops are located at plaques placed throughout the preserves, so lace-up those hiking shoes and hit the trails.
