Probably one of Tallahassee's best city spots, Winthrop Park is located at the corner of Betton Road and Mitchell Avenue. Just a stone's throw off Thomasville Road, one of Tallahassee's main arteries, this park is a community favorite.
With a delightfully historic-oak shaded playground sure to keep the kids busy, this Tallahassee neighborhood park is within walking distance to the surrounding Betton Hills and Lafayette Park Communities. A brand new pavilion was recently constructed offering a terrific place to hold your child's birthday party or picnic lunch with your friends. Shopping and restaurants are nearby to offer a full afternoon with the family.
Winthrop Park also offers numerous tennis courts featuring league play and instruction by the City of Tallahassee Parks and Recreation Department. You can find activity on the courts all year round, seven days a week. Youth, adult and senior players have been found on the Winthrop Park tennis courts since the 1960's.
Running and cycling groups often begin their treks at Winthrop Park as a central meeting spot before they enjoy their journeys through the nearby communities. With stately oak trees shading much of this city park, visitors can rely on a much needed break from the Florida sun during the summers.
Further into the park, the City of Tallahassee hosts seasonal youth flag football and soccer leagues on an open stretch of field. On evenings and Saturdays you will find excited parents and eager children enjoying their sports. In the center of the park, the baseball fields are always a hub of activity. With a larger field for older youth play, Winthrop Park offers an elevated announcers booth and concession stand. During Fall and Spring Baseball, there are nightly games with stands full of spectators.
Winthrop Park offers an abundance of opportunities for children of all ages. From playground time to picnics, fitness training to team play, it's hard to ignore the deep sense of community that is felt at Winthrop Park.
