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 a large number of tennis courts with league play and instruction run by the City of Tallahassee Parks and Recreation program. You will find activity on the courts throughout the year, seven days a week. Youth, adult and senior players have strengthened their skills on Winthrop Park's courts since the 1960's.
Running and cycling groups often gather at Winthrop Park to begin their training programs that wind through the nearby communities. With grand oak trees shading much of this city park, visitors can rely on a much needed break from the Florida sun during the steamy hot 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.
