Take a walk on the trail to see the stunning views of the river. They have boat rides, kayak rentals, camping here and quite a few hiking trails.

Recently visited Ormond beach after a long time away. My…read morelast complaint was about the park, but they luckily have taken it out and put a splash pad there for kids to enjoy, which is so wonderful. I feel like more and more people are starting to realize Ormond Beach is better than Daytona so the parking lot is more packed. Overall, we still had a great trip. I love the sand on this coast. It's coarse and darker in color. And for being so close to New Smyrna I can never find shark teeth.

4 reasons to come to this park. ***NEW INFORMATION***…read more There isn't any fee for everything I'm mentioning EXCEPT the front part of the off beach parking area ****** 1st is MY reason: I go here because it has 2 fenced in HUGH dog play areas. My girls go into the small dog play area while yes, big dogs go in the other one. Each play area has benches, water and poop bags in different areas of the park. (Some people leave balls there also otherwise, you bring your own) I walk the perimeter while the girls run after me and the other dogs. My 2 rescues "mother/daughter" duo are still puppies, full of muscle and need to run for their exercise. (for me to rest because they are a handful) 2nd: There is A children's play area. I know they have swings slides picnic benches but I'm not sure what else because I don't have a child to go there. I hear all of the children laughing, having fun so I'm sure it's pretty nice. 3rd: They also have back to back courts for... I know one is basketball, the other one may be pickleball? Not quite sure but again I see lots of people playing on the courts even if I'm not paying attention to them 4th: Which is most likely you wanted 1st is the large parking area across from the beach As you first drive into the park, there is a huge off beach parking area where You can (of course) park and walk right across to the beach. * BE AWARE, It is no longer "free" parking (just like ALL the parking areas in Volusia county) **The parking areas are free for local residents as long as you register with your car license plate and proof that you are indeed a resident here. ***I don't know what the policy is, you will have to look it up in The Volusia County rules I do know it's $20 a day parking (and all the parking areas now) BUT, I do know it is a great park with something to do for all AS for pictures, I will put them up when I go again BUT, here is a shot of my cute ladies and something strange that someone put up. Stick figures that I don't know their meaning

The park also has a long fishing pier as well as a playground, grills for cooking, benches, picnic tables, and clean bathrooms. Even has a short hiking trail and lots of free parking. The main attraction of course is the river and the nice views. A cool little park for anyone that likes to spend some time on or around a river.

This exhibit started November 2024 through April 2025 We missed 3 more sculptures because we were so tired after running around and running in and out of The car. We will continue to show you the last 3 asap. This is A must for locals and tourists also. In the brochure is a map where you can find them. We live in Ormond by the Sea so we started at the corner of A1A and and East Granada boulevard and worked our way down to the bridge. I can continue more when I update this review. I picked up my brochure and map at the post office. You would have to look on the map or scan the ??? I forgot what it's called) below scanner?) Anyway, I don't know where other brochures are so you can Google it. I will update this post as soon as I do the last 3 statues. Oh the window washer at the Granada? Shopping center, When we took pictures of the window washer) I couldn't find the photo of the window washer. A book that reads the movie rear window with James and Grace. Kelly. ( Love that movie you have to watch it) Furthermore, if any of these sponsors read my reviews, in my review(s) there are too many to list) Thank you for this amazing exhibit for The locals and tourists. Oh, The clothing on these statues look so real, I had to get up close to feel them

I was in heaven taking pictures. With plenty of benches to sit and admire the view. Some of those benches have funny sayings. Towards the back of the park, there is a walking long bridge. A good place to walk. It has a nice view of the water. In the middle of the park, there is a Historic building that now is a church. It's a cute, old fashion looking house. It has a plaque that tells the history of the place. It was the first place for a Christian marriage in north America once upon a time. . This little park has its own parking lot. Is not too big.

This is more or less a ruin of what it once was but the history is totally here as you can see just how much work it was having this facility in the swamp as it's literally in the heart of it! The area is fenced off but for good reason as I'm sure if you were to get closer to the structure it might not be that safe. We spent a little bit here as it was quite fascinating to just enjoy the structure and the atmosphere. Overall a super cool part of Florida's history that you should totally check out if your in the area as who doesn't love sugar and rum!

The roads obviously flood and often. They had the road closed sign off to the side when we entered the scenic drive and several signs about roads may flood~ obviously- the water is right there! If fact- you should be careful driving or you could easily find yourself taking a corner too fast and ending up in the water! I wouldn't want to drive this at night. Lucky for me- we drove it in bright beautiful daylight and I hung out the window taking snapshots as we drove by. Plenty of people were fishing! Just a good day to be outdoors. I know there is some hiking trails too~ we obviously didn't do that part.
