Merrill Park is a cool enough park in Altamonte Springs, Florida (basically, a part of Orlando's greater metropolitan area). Merrill Park seems to be set around baseball and softball fields and the fields are well-kept, as is the whole park. Italso had a pavilion (were I enjoyed my lunch), a children's playground and more.

Merrill Park is a lovely little gem of a park that is nestled in the heart of Altamonte Springs, FL near the Altamonte Mall. I found out about this park because I came with my wife, our son, and our granddaughter for a playdate. The park is home to the Altamonte Fast Pitch Academy and Babe Ruth Softball. They have three full size softball fields that are used for the softball academy, for Babe Ruth Softball, and you can also use them to practice on as well. Located between the three fields is a concession stand and the restrooms. What I really lived about this park is the three playground areas they have, each playground has their own set of things for kids to play on and a different theme for each area. They also have a swing-set area which includes a swing that you can sit in with your child and be able to swing together. There are also to pavilion areas for you to choose from one is called Oak Pavilion and the other is the Beach Pavilion which has two beach volleyball courts for you to play volleyball on which is a nice touch. Lastly I love the scenery of the park it has lots of great looking trees around the park. So if you are ever in the Altamonte, FL area and you want a nice secluded park to take your family to then I would recommend Merrill Park. read more

Merrill Park is a nice little park that is known as the "Official USA Softball National Team Training Center - East Coast" by the National Governing Body of USA Softball. Located in Altamonte Springs near Jamestown and 434, Merrill Park has three softball fields and three beach volleyball courts. Overlooking the softball fields from atop a hill is a nice shaded playground, picnic pavilions and swings for kids. There are concessions and restrooms. Although the restroom aren't the best at least they are real working bathrooms! The park was well maintained and clean and this Saturday we went, quite busy. There is ample parking nearby and a fitness trail leading from the entrance into the park. Overall a great find and so close to Altamonte and I-4! I've driven around the area many times and never knew this quiet park was tucked away amongst the trees! read more

As someone who typically spends 2-4 nights a week out on the deep sand courts of Merrill I suppose I have to be a big fan. I love Merrill primarily for the fact that they have 3 fairly well maintained sand volleyball courts and they host sand leagues. Love it! My only complaint is those pesky softball tournaments they like to hold. When those are in town you've got to hike it from your car to the sand courts because you'll be parking all the way out by Publix. The park rangers are really nice and definitely make us gals feel safe when we're leaving late at night. If you like sand volleyball and can play, this place is awesome. Make sure you're up for the challenge though because this sand will swallow you alive. read more

Love their volleyball league! Everyone that runs it is friendly and very communicative. Love the courts especially because they have lights.

Randomly found this park while we were in the area waiting to go somewhere else. Nice big park, well kept. My son is 9 months and it was his first time in a swing. He loved it, and we tried to put him down a slide, that didn't work so well haha. If we are in the area again, I'd love to go back read more
