The park is named for the late Frank Rendon, a long-time community leader. In 2003, the park…read morecelebrated the completion of a three-acre addition and in 2016 the playground was replaced. Volusia County provided the land and paid most of the $850,000 in expansion project costs. The project was funded in part with grants from the Volusia ECHO program and the Daytona Beach Racing and Recreational Facilities District. The park and beach area are ADA accessible. There are sheltered picnic areas, grills, children's playground with padded ground, disability-accessible restrooms, water fountain, outdoor showers, 134 off-beach parking spaces, handicapped parking and a wooden observation deck. The Shores Hotel and the covered walkway across Atlantic Avenue is just north of the park and a nice place for food and drinks as well.

Reed Canal Park is a nice addition to the community around it. It is not a huge park by any means,…read morehowever it is a pleasant enough place and it is kind of cool to watch the kids feeding the turtles. Apparently, feeding the turtles is a pretty commonplace things here, because the turtles knew the minute they seen human beings to swim towards the bridge and wait for the inevitable downpour of food offerings. There are two entrances to the park. One has swings and all that and the other one really just focuses on the little water there. I would definitely recommend that if you were in the area to stop by. Make sure you bring some kind of food offering for the turtles. There are also plenty of ducks and other birds around and while there are signs asking you not to feed the birds bread, they do say that they like rice and other things.

There is a Sugar Mill Ruins located here as well as some gorgeous flowers to fully enjoy! Unbelievably, it's FREE to enjoy and accepts Donations! Be sure to check the mailbox at the entrance area for a map of the grounds! The kids enjoyed walking around and seeing the historic ruins of the Sugar Mill. It was very relaxing and shaded! I'm totally into the flowers because it reminds me so much of my daddy! I love Google image search because you can locate on the internet information about the flowers and plants including their names! Definitely if you are in the area, check it out! Highly recommend

Bones spears and…read moremastodons Samuel Butts is an interesting fellow. An amateur archaeologist with an almost magical ability to find things. The type of guy that tells people what he is going to find before he actually finds it. He's been prowling this area for several decades and has found all kinds of bones, spears and arrow heads, pottery and even the remains of a 10,000 year old mastodon. He just doesn't talk about archeology, he's the type that goes out and finds the stuff so others can talk about it. Samuel also happens to play a mean lead electric guitar. Quite a character, sort of a cross between Indiana Jones and B.B. King. He was instrumental in getting this park developed into an archaeological teaching area, especially for the purpose of getting kids interested in archeology and the past. The park was named in his honor in 2004 and is quite lovely. The center of the park has a nice lake with a fountain that has a long boardwalk heading out toward the center. Lots of benches and picnic areas as well as walking and jogging paths. Not all that large at about 30 acres but certainly a nice place to stretch you legs. A great place that anyone can enjoy. You can take a stroll around the park and read about the cool history of the place. There is even one display were you can hear Samuel himself speak. Cool stuff. A wonderful park that will stimulate the new generation of archaeologists.

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.
