We're always looking for new parks to take my son to play on the weekends and we recently visited Delaney Park for the first time. It's nestled in a little historic neighborhood just south of downtown, and we really enjoyed it. I appreciate that they have a dedicated smaller playground for younger kids ages 2-5 as well as one for older kids ages 5-12. The gated playground area was very toddler friendly and not too crowded on a Sunday afternoon. My son loves the swings and the slides. The park was clean and well-kept with plenty of shade from the oak trees. Parking was easy and free along the street. This park also has restrooms, picnic tables, tennis courts, and a baseball field. Adding this one into our regular park rotation! read more

Orlando is home to many local parks throughout the city. Every city should provide as many recreational opportunities like Orlando for its residents. We visited Delaney Park recently with our grandchildren. They had a great time. The playground is enormous and kept the children busy and active for a long time. The baseball fields, tennis courts, playground, fountain, and rest rooms all appeared to be well maintained. Lots of trees for shade as well as some picnic tables are scattered around the park. read more

They have baseball fields, tennis courts, a children's park and plenty of space to walk around. The courts are usually free for use though we've only had to wait a few minutes for one to open up before. The park is usually clean and there are restrooms and water fountains as well. read more

Stumbled upon this park as I was visiting my grandmother's house. Had a great reviews on yelp so I gave it a try. Highly recommend this park. It has an older kids playground as well as little kids. There's swings lots to do. And it's gated. Very clean. Definitely recommend this place. We went twice and loved it. read more

After a long car ride my kids were ready to get out and play. We found Delaney Park through a Yelp search and decide that was our park of choice. Delaney Park has been in existence for a long time. You wouldn't know it by looking at it. The equipment, the fields, the lawn, the trees were all in great shape. Delaney Park has a couple baseball fields (which were being used for kickball at the time of our visit), tennis courts, a large grassy area (which was being used to teach girls lacrosse during our visit), trees for climbing, and, the highlight of it all, a playground. The playground was loaded with climbing apparatus, swings, rocking items and monkey bars. Kids of all ages were playing together. My elementary school student and preschooler were both at home here in Delaney Park. They had equipment designed for all age groups. We definitely were pleased with our visit to Delaney Park. If you are in the area, give it a try. read more

Delaney Park is a very old and active park. It has been serving the local community since I was a young child. Now I bring my grandson here to play. The park has multiple baseball fields, tennis courts and a playground. There is also a very large grassy area for infant play groups, yoga and other outdoor classes. It's over seven acres of multipurpose use that is well maintained The playground is almost always bustling with all age groups. In the morning it seems to be the place for young moms to come and socialize while watching their kids play. Although I am almost always one of several grandparents representing as well. The bathrooms are in desperate need of an upgrade but everything else is perfect. read more

Playground located in the center of a nice family neighborhood, usually busy and filled with kids. Great for a birthday party, nice shade created by trees and gated all around. No parking lot only parallel park around the playground. read more

Delaney park is our favorite playground in the area! It was updated last summer with new equipment - smaller play area for toddlers and larger play area for the older kids. They have 2 baby swings and two larger swings to buckle your child in. One of the reasons this is my favorite playground is 1) they have a public bathroom. It is older but always clean, 2) it's mostly shaded, 3) it's fenced in! Inside the playground there are benches throughout and there are also several picnic tables right outside the playground, perfect for bringing a packed lunch. read more

This park is pretty much nothing but sports fields. I guess it helps out the neighborhood, but I would not recommend here if you are looking for a more traditional park experience. read more

A great park near some awesome lakes and fun activities. My wife and I take our dog for a walk around Delaney Park almost every day. Located in between Sodo and Downtown Orlando, Delaney Park is a beautiful area that is close to everything while staying relatively secluded. The park itself contains many great park amenities (softball fields, tennis courts, etc.). The lakes around Delaney Park (Lake Cherokee and Lake Davis) have great walking areas and lots of fun birds walking around (seeing a goose and duck interact often produces cute and funny results). 903 Mills is also a hop, skip, and jump away from Lake Davis, so it is very easy to grab a bite on your walk around the lakes. While there isn't a designated parking area, there is plenty of public street parking around the park. All of the people walking and living around the area have been very friendly, so you don't have to worry about getting judged for taking anyone's parking spot. In addition to the park, there are often weekly events taking place in each of the green space areas, such as a dog training class each week and a group of people engaged in intense workouts each evening. These small events helps add to the close community feeling in the area. Overall, Delaney Park's combination of a nice atmosphere and close proximity to downtown makes this one of the best parks, as well as one of the best living areas, in Orlando. read more

Originally called Duckworth Park, this medium sized Orlando park is considered one of our oldest and as such, has been well preserved. In 1959 the city decided to change its name and it has since been known as Delaney Park. And although the name represented an actual area, it also defines the surrounding neighborhood. Approximately 7.25 acres, the park plays home to baseball diamonds, tennis courts, bathrooms, benches, a lovely statue and a glorious playground. The playground is fenced in and nicer than others around town. It's colorful and great for younger children. While I was there a young girl and her Dad were having a grand old time. If you bring your dog though he isn't allowed in the fenced area--kids and parents only. Next door you'll find the extensive grassy area that is Al Coith Park so if your pooch needs tons of running room, you can just cross the street. My favorite aspect of this park is the moss trees that are spread throughout. They add such a wonderful dynamic and make it feel very calm and peaceful. I'm sure when the little leaguers are playing it seems a bit more exciting and energetic. But when there are no games occurring, it's a great place to gather your thoughts. read more

I liked the feeling of this park. It has a nice old city feel to it, with beautiful old trees and surrounded by big old gorgeous houses. It's spacious, enclosed with gates, and is very safe/friendly for younger toddlers, it might be a little boring for older kids. The only thing I got a little trouble with was finding it on the map/navigation system (but I guess that's the map's fault). You have to circle it around to park because it's kinda hidden behind the courts, I parked by the fountain which was turned off; I wish it was working though. read more

Delaney Park! This park is fantastic. It is where the tennis battles of Dicky and B usually go down. The tennis courts are very well kept. They actually just fixed the net on the west court. There has been a ton of new construction and renovation to the baseball field and the field house. Two new water fountains were installed and a new sidewalk. There is plenty of tree cover with nice homes all around. Great neighborhood park. With only two tennis courts it is sometimes tough to get in there and play, I would say 6/10 times we can pull right up and play. read more

I used to live right across the street from Delaney Park. I LOVE the neighborhood, and still go to the Park often to play tennis...the one thing I can speak of. I like going to Delaney Park to play tennis because the courts are good, solid. It's also nice to enjoy the "neighborhood" atmosphere while playing. There are, however, a couple of drawbacks: 1. There are only two (2) courts, so it can sometimes be a challenge to grab a court. Particularly during the pleasant times of the year. If both courts are taken you may have to wait around for awhile. 2. There are no lights. Therefore, once the sun goes down you're outta luck! Despite these drawbacks, I still always try to head over to the Delaney Park tennis courts if I don't feel like spending money to play on public ones. read more

The one thing I love about the Orlando Area are the carefully planned out communities and towns. This area is no different. With that being said, I stumbled across this park looking for inexpensive things to do. Neighborhood Parks are free admission, so why not go? Delaney Park was very picturesque and had a fair amount to offer. There were some bikes near the park, so some family members decided to give it a try. There were also some fields and a playground for kids to play around. If I lived in this neighborhood, I would gladly enjoy this area and send the kids to play. I would recommend this place! read more

I love this little park! My boyfriend and I come here often because there are two free tennis courts. We've met a few people/families, and I've run in to a few friends here. It's right in the beautiful Delaney Park neighborhood and there are lots of old trees to look at while running around. There are also several fields for sports teams and bathrooms. The only thing I would like to see changed in for lights to be installed on the tennis courts so more people could play. Overall, an excellent park and fantastic location. read more

Delaney Park - Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is a lovely little park! It has tennis courts, beautiful oak trees, and is in a gorgeous neighborhood. The park also provides bags to pick-up after your dog, and the park itself looks very clean. I walk my dog by here often, and we routinely see tennis players, other dog walkers, and families. I don't think there's actually parking, but it looks like you can park on the streets by the park without much of a problem. read more

Delaney Park is a very nice little facility that is right off of Orange ave, and is very close to the center of the city. It's very nice, and has plenty of ballfields and areas to sit. However this place does get quite busy, especially during little league season, so I isn't exactly my first coice for a day out at the park. The Good: Plenty of space to run: Between the many ballfields and the playgrounds, there is plenty of space in this park to run. It definitely not the biggest park in Orlando, but there's plenty of room for kids to get that energy out. Keep an eye on the kids: There are plenty of places to sit at Delaney Park that are right next to the different play facilites, so parents can feel free to take a load off while keeping an eye on the kids. The Bad: Lots of People: There's alsmost always some little league or sports club occupying most ogf the feilds at Delaney park, and if it is a game day this place will be flooded with people. And while this is where I would normally say get there early or go on a monday, this place is almost ALWAYS busy. Overall 4.2/10= Busy busy Delaney read more

This is a great park and neighborhood. The park is very well utilized by residents. On weekends there are usually many sports activities taking place. One of my favorite areas of our town. read more

Delaney Park is a great recreational facility just a bit south of downtown right off of Orange Avenue. I never even knew it existed until my kickball league held a BBQ here one Sunday this fall. I was surprised at the several ball fields it housed. The park is fit snugly inside a well to do neighborhood who's sprawling McMansion's streets are your parking lot and a fountain at its entrance. The park wasn't crowded this particular day and we were able to cook up a storm at a picnic site consisting of a couple grills and picnic tables on a cement area. Then we headed off to one of the softball fields for a game. The fields were kept up nicely and the dugouts were standard. I even used the bathroom facility, which could have been a lot worse- it even had t.p.! The park is divided into two areas, both containing some ball fields, tennis courts, as well as grassy areas for other activities and mature trees. There's also a nice playground for the kiddies. I'm guessing the residents around Delaney are the reason its kept in such good shape. Wouldn't want that seven figure home's value decreasing due to a shabby park being across the street. So grab a bat and a ball and check out this suburban park that's actually downtown. read more

I've lived in the Delaney Park area for 4 years, and this park is everything you could expect from a neighborhood park. It's spacious without being too large, and has two baseball fields, two tennis courts, a playground, and plenty of space for kids to just hang out. There isn't enough free space for say flying a kite or playing football/soccer, but the adjacent Al Coith park (literally right across the street) has that taken care of. There are no parking lots, but street parking is plentiful. read more

Nice park, well lit, clean and versatile. Good for dogs, tennis, and playground for kids. Bathrooms are very clean. Sometimes a few homeless people are under the pavilion near the concession stand charging their phone, or cleaning up. Don't usually bother anyone but is something to be aware of. Playground is appropriate for 3-10, is on the smaller side as far as playground go. There is a large open area for tag or other group games. read more

Great park close to home so I may be a bit bias, two tennis courts, bathroom facilities with some work done recently, I believe to update, one fantastic ball field, always games going on on the weekends, if you are in the area and you are frustrated with traffic or that slow driver in front of you is making you go postal just stop by and relax, then get back in your car and go home, don't over crowd my park. Just kidding is not my park. read more

Great neighborhood park.. I appreciate all of the dog stations with bags readily available being a responsible dog owner this is a big plus no matter how many bags you bring you always get caught short! read more

Great playground, lots of shade to make the Florida summer a little more bearable. Sometimes the hinges to keep the gates are broken, but just keep calling the City of Orlando Parks Division until they get them fixed. read more
