Get Active at Cypress Park: A New Fitness Hub for Daytona Beach Residents
Looking for a fun and engaging way to get active? Cypress Park in Daytona Beach has just what you need! Recently opened with a vibrant playground and an outdoor fitness area, this community gem encourages residents of all ages to move, play, and enjoy the great outdoors.
An Exciting New Playground
On April 24, Daytona Beach celebrated the unveiling of its latest recreational addition, featuring both a state-of-the-art playground and an outdoor fitness area. The project, costing $433,745, integrates eight major pieces of equipment designed to promote active play and fitness for everyone—kids and adults alike.
The playground boasts a unique geometric climbing dome, a multi-activity play structure, a spinning bowl, and a three-bay swing set with six seats, including options for infants. These features not only stimulate creativity and imagination but also encourage climbing, swinging, and balancing—all important components of physical fitness. Plus, the playground is equipped with a colorful cushioned fall zone to ensure safety while your little ones explore.
Outdoor Fitness Opportunities
Right next to the playground, the outdoor fitness area offers four dedicated exercise stations tailored for strength training and cardiovascular workout. It includes a flex wheel, leg lift, two step platforms of different heights, and a sit-up bench. These stations are perfect for teens and adults looking to enhance their fitness routines in a refreshing outdoor setting.
Park Amenities and Accessibility
Cypress Park is open every day from dawn until dusk, making it a convenient location for recreational activities. Alongside the playground and fitness area, there’s a walking trail ideal for leisurely strolls or brisk walks. This park is part of the Midtown Recreation Complex, which includes the Cypress Aquatic Center—a premier public swimming pool—and the Julia T. and Charles W. Cherry Sr. Cultural & Educational Center. The center offers a gymnasium, dance and music studios, a computer room, and kitchen facilities, serving as a hub for community programs throughout the year.
