Victoria Commons Kiddie Playground

If you live in this part of DeLand, you already know about this little spot — and you’re probably keeping it semi-secret. The pond view is genuinely pretty, and the shade trees actually do their job, which in Florida is everything. It’s a small park, no question, but that’s kind of the point — toddlers and younger kids can run around without getting lost in the chaos of a bigger facility. Everything’s clean and well looked after, which you don’t always get with neighborhood parks this size. Bring a snack, grab a bench near the water, and let the little ones do their thing.
