Reviews
"We love this park. It's excellent for kids and has a picnic area that's covered. You have to be careful with your belongings and lock up your bike as recently there has been thefts."
"This hasaways been my most favorite playground to take my 3 boys to. My 3year old had his party there just last week just like my other 2 boys 6 and 10 years ago and besides upgrading the playground it's still the same. We didn't rent a gazebo but we still had the party under one I would of giving thus place 5 stars but unfortunately the bathrooms (same ones as 10 yrs ago and still only 2 bathrooms when if im not mistsken multiple after school programs there i just love this park and so will your kids)"
"this is a little hidden gem in DeLand! the Butterfly Sanctuary is quite small and, unfortunately, i didn’t see any butterflies other than the large sculpture. the park itself take up a good bit of space with its large playground, 4 covered pavilions with picnic tables, and many benches. it’s a great place to come to for a little walk, breath of fresh air, or to host a picnic, cookout, gathering, or birthday party. there’s plenty of parking all around, nice public bathrooms, and water fountains. it’s also home of the DeLand Memorial Hospital and Veterans Museum."
"It's a nice park for children and adults. There's a Sensory Garden with flowers and butterflies. Small but pretty. A great playground with forts and other options for younger children. Picnic tables, grills and restrooms for the family. There's even a museum on the grounds, but you need to check the hours of operation."
"Hidden jewel, a massive playground in Deland. Bathrooms nearby. So much for children to do. Multiple swings, slides, ways to climb and explore. It's a wonderful fenced in playground with areas for younger and older children. Delightful themes and tree house with metal slides. Only lacks full coverage from the boiling summer heat. Addition of a splash pad and concession stand would bring family friendly joy all year."
