Orlando

Winter Park

The undisputed crown jewel of Orlando playgrounds. A massive castle-inspired wooden play structure fully fenced and surrounded by shady oak trees in Winter Park. Kids can explore towers, tunnels, and slides for hours. The fenced perimeter is a lifesaver for parents of toddlers. This is the playground parents drive across town for.

Orange County

A massive community park with inclusive playground equipment, covered roller hockey rink, splash pad, skate park, basketball, volleyball, and a walking loop. One of the best all-in-one parks in Orange County. The splash pad is open seasonally and is one of the top picks for hot summer days.

Dr. Phillips Area · SW Orlando

Freshly renovated with sun sails, a fenced playground with slides, climbing structures, and sensory play equipment for all ages, plus the best-rated splash pad in the area. Shaded seating for parents all around. Located in the Dr. Phillips neighborhood, consistently well-maintained.

Downtown Orlando

Downtown Orlando's beloved landmark. The fenced playground is a favorite for toddlers, and the famous swan-shaped paddleboats are pure magic for kids. Walk the 0.9-mile path around the lake, grab food at the Sunday Farmers Market, or catch one of the many community events at the amphitheater.

Winter Park

Recently reimagined with thoughtfully designed modern wooden play structures. Separate equipment for toddlers and older kids. A big open field for running, a paved walking path, a seasonal splash pad (April–October), and well-kept restrooms. One of the most beautiful parks in Winter Park.

South Orlando

At 183 acres, one of Orlando's largest and most feature-packed parks. Two playgrounds, multiple walking trails with interactive activities, a fishing pier, sand volleyball, a drone flying zone, disc golf, and a swimming pool. Worth every cent of the $5 admission — easily an all-day destination.
