It has 2 sections, one for smaller children pre-school/toddler age. The other section is for older children that require less supervision or guidance. There are only two swings and neither are the toddler seat style. It is also fenced in for added security. The ground is mostly sand so wear your old play shoes! You'll probably run into more of the local kids without parents with them so just be aware of that.

The playground is wheelchair accessible and they even have a swingset that accommodates a wheelchair. It also includes some climbing frames and slides, a merry-go-round. I spotted a zip line (closed for the season) and a splashpad (also closed for the season). Picnic tables and pavilions, charcoal barbecue grills, restrooms, parking. There was no litter and there are some fences to keep the little ones from the roadway. [Review 16811 overall - 1535 in Florida - 324 of 2022.]

Even though it was a super hot day, the mini line was a hit. Music could be played on a giant, brightly colored xylophone. We sat in the shade on one of eight porch like swings and enjoyed the scenery. We'll probably go back once the Splash pool is up and running. Kids of all ages could have fun too. Oh yeah, there are covered picnic areas for gatherings! Enjoy!

There's a section designed for toddlers and another area for bigger kids, which made it perfect for different ages. They have multiple slides and swings in different sizes, and they even have a tire swing that we both got to ride, which was such a fun moment. There are also short tunnels and climbing structures that made it feel like an adventure for little ones. I also appreciated the pavilion with benches where families can sit, relax, or enjoy a snack. The wooden design and shaded areas make it comfortable to stay for a good amount of time, even on warmer days. I'd definitely love to return the next time we're in the area!

(Um no that's car washes and storage units). Anyway, Walmart said they'd donate the back parcel for a park. It turned out pretty nice. The first park was destroyed by angry neighbors or neighbor but Walmart rebuilt. Lots of people use it. Dog walkers, sports teams, exercise clubs, families. It has a pavilion for parties and grills for picnics. Plenty of parking too. And we cannot forget CCSO who frequently keep an eye on what's going on there, just to keep the bad folk away.

We love stopping to play here if we are in the Deland area. Freedom Playground has plenty of parking, bathrooms, pavilions with picnic tables, and playground equipment that can be used by a wide range of ages and body abilities. I love that the park has one main entrance gate to keep kids contained and also has the little kid area separate from the big kid area. There are accessibility features like wheelchair accessible ramps for the playground equipment and a ground level merry-go-round. There's plenty of slides, climbing and obstacles, a zip line, pirate ships, pretend play houses, and all the features you would want in a playground. I love the nods to Florida with multiple gators throughout! Freedom Park is a Florida gem!

From what I've read online, DeLand faced the exact same issue that so many municipalities around…read morethe country have faced and continue to face regarding what to do with their playgrounds. At one point in time it was a thing to build these large destination playgrounds made out of wood. While a nice idea on paper, eventually the upkeep proves to be problematic and expensive. Eventually the municipality is faced with the hard choice of costly renovations that will need to be redone in the not too distant future, demolishing the structure or trying to replace it with something more modern/contemporary. Either way it equals a lot of money that usually is nowhere to be found. Thankfully a few years ago DeLand along with residents, area companies, school children and a newly formed non-profit committee figured out how to replace the original wooden structure. Amazingly over 300K in private donations were raised along with DeLand kicking in the rest and what you have today is an amazing structure/facility. In my own area there have a been a few success stories with places like this: www.savekidscastle.org/ But there have also been a few mismanaged disasters with places like this: articles.mcall.com/2004-11-19/news/3571642_1_playground-jungle-gym-time-capsule What works here: * Lots of parking * Solidly clean bathrooms * Lots of shaded areas * Super safe recycled rubber ground which means no tracking mulch into the car * A very needed water fountain * Lots of different structures/play areas/misters that offer a ton of diversity What doesn't work: * At least when we were here the zipline was in sad shape. It needs to be raised up or just gotten rid of it because it was way too low to be enjoyable. I don't want to lay on the hyperbole but honestly aside one other park (Kids Castle in Doylestown, PA) this place is the nicest that I've ever seen and even though my kids are arguably a bit on the too old side to be enjoying a place like this, they still did. Great job DeLand! What an awesome place for the community!
