| Description: |
- A whimsical equatorial dial set on a pole. The solid dial face has a drawing of canoeists opposite an alligator with its mouth open and.above them is a smiling sun wearing sunglasses. Time on the summer side is from 6:30am to 7:30pm while on the winter side, time is delineated from 7am to 7pm.(but still using daylight saving time). Both sides have mean solar time adjusted for longitude, about 24 minutes..

| - "Collier-Seminole State Park
Only count your sunny hours"
The spring-fall side has "summer solstice" at the gnomon while the fall-spring side has "winter solstice". A misnomer, but gets the idea across that each side only works for half the year.
