    Climbing the net

    Took my son to a different park and he really enjoyed it! He's only 2 years old and I wanted to go somewhere different to explore. Google led me here and it's a little gem in the Lake Mary just nestled in a suburban neighborhood near Lake Mary Prep area. The park itself has a few softball fields, a splash pad and updated play area. It's actually perfect for preschool or school age kids because many of the steps were too far apart for little ones, such as my son. He did enjoy it while he was there, but I recommend a playground area for the little ones. To the very least, offer a small slide. I really like the blue tarp that gave a shaded area above the tables. It makes a great place to have a picnic. I love the fence that surrounds the area. It brings ease to any parent to allow their kid to freely roam. All in all, I plan to visit again to take advantage of the splash pad and maybe bring a few friends. An awesome private and small place to enjoy.

    If you're looking to get the kids out of the house on spring break then I'd recommend checking this splash pad out. Came by today with a few friends and their children for a quick lunch and fun! To enter the water area the cost is $2 per person. Pretty good for hours of random fun for the kiddies. There is also a play area with swings. Not the most safest play area but with supervision I had no problem with it. Overall, pack a picnic basket and enjoy the sun and splash pad. Will be return in the future with my littles.

    Trailblazer park is a small little park tucked near Timacuan Country Club in Lake Mary. I sought out this park because it has a splash park, one of several in the area. The park looks like it has an older part with a skate park, tiny playground, ball courts and fields. The newer splash park costs $2 per person to get in and is open from 9am-8pm. The splash pad isn't super big but does have a good mix of jets, misters, and buckets and things to dump water on you. There is a nearby shelter with plenty of tables and behind that a playground. There is a big web-like climbing structure and a small rock formation to climb on. The playground is mostly for bigger kids, in fact the equipment says 5 and up. They actually have a slide that is only about 6 inches wide and was totally useless for my toddler. They have these spinning chairs but one little girl of about 7 got on, started spinning and couldn't get her legs down to stop. She was bawling before her Mom could stop her. I'm looking for a splash pad to host my son's birthday party but this park doesn't rent pavilions: thumbs down. Thumbs down for the playground too. The facility was clean and the splash pad was fun: thumbs up.

    There are a few trees for shade near the playground but the splash pad is mostly in the sun.

    This playground has a lot of great features. It is fenced in. It has nice artificial turf…read more(excellent for crawling babies). It has a fair amount of shade and a lot of picnic tables. It has two regular swings and two baby swings. It has a "little kid" and a "big kid" playground. It has bathrooms on site. The cons are that it can be difficult to keep an eye on all your children if one wants to be on the big playground and one on the little. Worse than that is that the big kid playground is a little TOO big. It has a lot of openings a child could fall out of that are quite high. Thankfully the third story doesn't have an opening, but I have seen older kids climb up the outside of the large enclosed slides all the way to the top. It was extremely scary! There are warnings for bees but I am yet to see any.

    This is an updated review from me. I used to bring my nieces and nephews to Friendship Park, now…read moreI'm bringing my own kids. The park has toddler swings as well as regular swings, making it great for children of all ages. Since my last review, everything has been repainted and cleaned, and the improvements are noticeable. There are restrooms on-site and plenty of shaded areas. The entire playground is fenced in. It does get pretty busy during the day time on the weekends, as many birthdays occur here. Also, the church across the street uses the parking area on Sundays so parking can be limited during that time.

    Our friends have their Rock Super Bowl at this park each year, they have been holding this event…read moreannually so it's their Rock Super Bowl IX. We had a blast! Basically, a battle of the local rock and roll bands - a variety of different members from different bands come together on two teams for one day with a purpose to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Tickets are only $5, bring a foldup chair, 10x10 tent, a cooler and it's a great time watching all of our friends compete with one another on the field. Torcaso Cove Park is a great place to hold this event. There is a spacious field with plenty of space on the sidelines for fans. There are several parking areas available making parking easy for large events. There was plenty of space for a half-time show with live music right by the field. There were also a BBQ vendor and several other vendors on site selling food, jewelry, and other items. The park has a public restroom, a playground, splash park, sand pits, plenty of paved walking areas, a picnic area with tables, large pavilion, a beautiful bridge that crosses the heart shaped cove, the park has a bunch of Muscovy ducks waddling around and is dog friendly, what else can you ask for. Nancy and I really enjoyed our time at the park, we will definitely be back to bring our dog and take a nice walk. I just have to mention that it was a bit muddy on the field, even on a hot sunny day. So be sure to wear something you don't care about getting dirty.

    This park is picturesque! I love using it as the starting point for my 4 mile walk/run. It has a…read morebeautiful, still lake. Full of ducks and turtles, and I always make sure to bring oatmeal and frozen peas so I can spend a little time with them. You can feed them from the bridge, or the beach. They will surround you LOL. There are 3 play areas: 2 for the big kids, and a pirate themed area for the little kids. There is also a splash pad, and I will openly admit to running through recently, as I chose to go on my run when it was over 95 degrees. The park is very clean, and well cared for, and it's right next to the Winter Springs Police Department, and on this day they had an event bringing awareness to autism; I was offered a popsicle and gladly grabbed it. I sat on a bench to watch a soccer match, while I finished my cold treat, stretched a bit, put on my weighted vest, waved to the ducks, and took off. Perfect park on a perfect day :)

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!
