Magic Forest Playground aka. Rainbow Park — Attraction in Ormond Beach

I’ve always loved going here for many years. Safe area for kids and kept clean (for the most part) I have seen needle there and drinking bottles before. Everyone cleans up after themselves most of the time and loved seeing the people walking their dogs. There was something for everyone. The community would even pitch in to help after hurricanes and things that needed to be fixed. Recently noticed the no dogs allowed was very upsetting. Outdoor areas should not be allowed to do this especially with walking paths around “the trails.” This this being apart of “the trails,” seem strange that it has come this this.

There are few areas where a child could get...

Somehow through creativity and brilliant planning, they have managed to build the entire playground among old oak trees that provide shade that covers every part of the park. As I walked through with my daughter, I could not find any areas that required maintenance. There are also plenty of benches and picnic areas within the playground for parents to relax as...
