Belle Terre Park

Location and Overview

Tucked behind Wadsworth Elementary and Buddy Taylor Middle Schools in Palm Coast, Florida, Belle Terre Park is a 10-acre recreational area that sits right next to the Palm Coast Aquatics Center. What makes this park stand out is its impeccably clean grounds and gorgeous landscaping. There's something deeply satisfying about relaxing under the canopy of mature trees that dot the property, offering natural shade when the Florida sun gets a bit too enthusiastic.

Sports Facilities

If you're into team sports, the multi-purpose athletic field has you covered. Whether you're organizing a casual soccer match, lacrosse game, or flag football showdown, the field features Bermuda Tiffway 419 grass - a detail that might seem small but makes a difference in play quality. The fields here are noticeably better maintained than many others in the area.

Racquet sports more your thing? The park features three lighted tennis courts that double as pickleball courts - though you'll need to make do with tennis nets for now. Night owls will appreciate that these courts, along with the two handball/racquetball courts, are illuminated for evening play. Fair warning: dedicated pickleball enthusiasts might wish for proper nets and designated courts.

Family-Friendly Amenities

Kids from toddling age to pre-teens will find plenty to do at the playground, which offers age-appropriate equipment including swings, slides, and climbing structures. Thoughtfully designed sun shades cover parts of the play area, but their effectiveness varies with the sun's position. When snack time rolls around, the nearby gazebo provides a shaded spot to recharge.

Need a bathroom break? Public restrooms are conveniently located near the aquatics center. While there is some seating around the playground for parents and guardians keeping watch, you might find yourself wishing for a few more benches scattered across the park.

Trails and Open Spaces

For those days when you just need to clear your head, the park's walking trails and green spaces offer an excellent backdrop. The extra-wide paved sidewalks are a thoughtful touch, giving plenty of room for both walkers and cyclists to share the path without the usual awkward sidesteps.

No matter if you're looking to join a pickup game, give the kids some outdoor time, or simply find a peaceful spot to read, Belle Terre Park has options for you. Its convenient location next to local schools and the aquatics center makes it a popular spot for the community.
