We have been going to this park for a couple decades and it still ranks as one of their favorite ones. We call it Rainbow Park, as you enter under the arched rainbow. The play ground is under a canopy of oak trees (although the hurricanes the past couple of years have affected the amount of shade left from them). The playground has a large multi-level, multi-section wooden playset with turrets, wooden bridge, fireman's pole, rope wall, multiple monkey bars, balance beam, teeter-totter, disk swing, and much more. There is a small area within the fenced playground for younger children and a handicap accessible swing. Parents can sit on one of the park benches or seating areas within the wooden playset. There is also a covered Pavillion with picnic tables. Outside the fenced play area are workout stations, a larger swing set, basketball courts, and racketball courts. Public restrooms are within an easy walking distance behind the park in the rear parking area. Other covered pavillions are nearby, as well. Enjoy a short time here between errands, after school, or make it longer and meet friends there.

We stumbled across Ormond Beach in 2017 simply looking for a place to stay on our way to Orlando on the beach that was inexpensive. We found a hotel right on the beach that was extremely affordable and fell in love with the community very quickly. Our family enjoy the laid back beach community outside the hustle and bustle of Daytona tourism. You can be a vacationer but feel like a local there. Beach is clean, and people are friendly.

We found this place to be interesting. I liked that we could drive around most of the park, even though we did prefer to walk. We're hikers from Pennsylvania and discovered this state park while on vacation, we didn't exactly plan on hiking while in FL, but could resist the opportunity either, so we really weren't prepared with clothing/footwear and bug spray. We had a great experience until we attempted to hike the nature trail. We took just a few steps onto the trail and were swarmed by mosquitoes. We retreated. That was the only place we had an issue with mosquitoes, all other areas of the park were fine. We saw gator tracks, belly and tail drag marks but no actual gators. The park store was not open due to current COVID situations, so kayak and canoe rentals were off the table. But all in all, we went to spend the day with nature and that's what we did. We'd visit again... next time we'll bring bug spray!

This world-famous 23-mile long stretch of white sandy beach allows vehicle driving during daylight hours, and offers nearly every water sport imaginable as well as a lively boardwalk.

Our condo is less than two miles north of ISB and well within walking distance of the shops on the boardwalk. Except a really high tide, the beach is wide with well marked drive lanes.
9. Ormond Memorial Art Museum & Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 109 reviews
We are located on the beachside in Ormond just steps from the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy the surrounding community and grab a bite at more than eight restaurants. Our art exhibitions change frequently and there is always something new to discover in our lush gardens. If you have more than an hour, sign up for one of our art classes, garden talks or children’s programs! As of October 1st, the Museum building is temporarily CLOSED to the public. The Gardens will remain open and accessible daily, and we will continue to offer art programming and outreach activities virtually and at alternative locations! Our project includes a renovation of our original 1915 and 1946 buildings to retain their exterior charm, and the construction of a two-story building to replace the 1998 addition and create much-needed new square footage. Built on almost the same existing museum footprint, we’ll soon have bigger classrooms, more exhibition space, dedicated meeting and office areas, rooftop terrace & MORE!!

We visited this museum in Ormond Beach with friends. It is small but has plenty of parking. They were having a guest speaker talking about the importance of Bees. Really good and wonderful to hear this topic being covered. The gardens are really pleasant to walk thru with dedication to the Veterans. The art work is only a few rooms but nicely displayed. There was an additional room with crafts from the Elementary school. They were awesome to see each age development. I highly recommend going here.

We drove down from St. Augustine to visit Bulow Creek State Park. The Fairchild Oak is impressive and awe-inspiring. The images online don't really do the tree justice! It is huge! Overall, the park is nice and well-maintained. We hiked a few of the trails and they were in good shape. We visited in late November so the weather was cool. I would think mosquitoes would be terrible on the trails in warmer weather - would probably need insect repellent. A great place to see the natural beauty of Florida and have a picnic.
