Our Parks
Veterans
Park
Rendering by Sodi Griffin
Veterans
Park is located in front of the Flagler Beach City Hall.
Although there are no major structures, there are
several park benches, shuffle board courts, nighttime
lighting and a beautiful ocean view. Being in the
geographical center of the city, it is utilized for many
city special events.
Silver Lake Park
The City
of Flagler Beach purchased 46 acres of sensitive
wetlands lying east of the Intracoastal Waterway and
bordering North Daytona Avenue and North 17th
Street in order to ensure that the future of these
pristine lands was not compromised by future
development. The Park offers a jogging and exercise
trail complete with exercise stations and equipment
along the way. The trail is a mulch trail that winds
through the native vegetation already existent on the
northern portion of the park. There is also a bike and
pedestrian trail that winds through the southern portion
of the park with benches along side of it for a restful
stop to view nature and relax. This path is made of
shell.
In
addition to the paths, there is a small playground which
also has environmentally friendly mulch as a base
instead of other conventional wood bark or concrete.
This mulch is also safe for children and the waterways
as it is not toxic. There is a covered pavilion with
picnic tables available for those who wish to spend a
family day together and it is conveniently located next
to the canoe launch and the wooden fishing/lookout pier
that extends into the canals. There are benches along
the pier where one can sit and view the canals and
marshes along the Intracoastal Waterway and its
connectors. Many animals and birds have been spotted as
they naturally go about their daily activities.
Wickline Park
Wickline
Park is bordered on the east side by South Daytona
Avenue between South 7th Street and South 9th
Street. The western portion of the park borders on
Florida wetlands which continue into the Intercostal
waterway. Amenities include two tennis courts, a
basketball court, a beach volleyball court, two
pavilions, and a fenced in children’s playground. On the
north-east side of the park lies the entrance to a
boardwalk which meanders through the wetlands and
continues to The Flagship Harbor boat launch on the
Intercostal Waterway.
Wadsworth Park
The entrance to this beautiful
45 acre Flagler County Park is located at the western
foot of the Flagler Beach Bridge. Wadsworth
Park stays busy both day and night with its lighted
soccer fields, racquetball, tennis, volleyball and
basketball courts, two playground areas, a picnic
pavilion, an elevated boardwalk, and a canoe launch
site. Also included is a 60,000 square foot fenced Dog
Park where dogs can run unleashed and mingle with other
canines.
Wadsworth
Park has something for just about everyone including a
fenced Skate Board Park. The Skate Park is open from
dawn to 10:00p.m. All skaters
must register at Flagler Beach City Hall before using
the facility and proper protective gear including a
helmet must be worn at all times.
Special
