Lots of different types of birds and ducks to see. Sides of the ponds are pretty steep so you have to keep a close watch on your children not to fall in if you have children who like to dare see how close they can get to the edge of things like mine do. Its a pretty good park. Some groups arent following social distancing and gathering rules when Ive been so if you care about that or are concerned then you can still enjoy a trip there, I would just reccomend staying away from the playground end of the park because that is where parties and groups have been taking place.
The park or city did a great job . Beautiful lights. Park always clean. Grandkids love feeding ducks and turtles
Great park for people of all ages! Well kept, and the rangers even teach about the types of ducks there...and what not to feed them. No to bread and french fries! Yes to bird seed, broccoli, peas and corn.
The park is great have plenty of shade plenty of room different play equipment different swings and there is a museum right across the street
I love this park! It is a great place for all ages to go and visit. Theres a lot of art to look at, basketball court, tennis court, ducks, you can fish, they have activities at different times, and a very nice playground for the kids. The Discovery Center is across from it. The Reilly Arts Center is there. If you are a photographer there are plenty of places around the park to do photo sessions.
One of the best parks in ocala big playground for the kids also tennis and basketball courts with a nice trail for walking and jogging
Relaxing and clean place. Great for family.L
During my trip from Traverse City, Michigan to Florida, my friend had me come to this Park and we took a walk around the circular walking path and had a good conversation. During this time I took a few photos. I am amazed at how much of the animals, birds or otherwise werent afraid of us humans. I am very much not used to that haha. Anyway, beautiful place with cool art to boot!
Great view of a lake, and very well kept. Good place for community events or small minor ones. Tennis court, small baseball(?) field, if I recall correctly theres a basketball court, but that might be incorrect.
The playground in wonderful- the kids love it. It has a beautiful pond and lots of birds. The walking path isnt very long, but well maintained.
Wonderful large park to take a walk - a variety of ducks, plus swans and turtles. You can fish but you have to throw them back in. Countless steel art to admire as well. Very peaceful.
Awesome park! Playground, tennis courts, and art all around the park make for a nice place to take a stroll or exercise. The pond is also stocked with fish.
Great view of the animal life and great scenery at night. The lights on the water Is magical at night.
Even though it was sweltering the day we went, this park so much fun for all 6 grands! They range in age from 18mos to 6 years old and they all loved it. They have lots of baby swings and even a play place for 2-5 year olds. They also have handicapped swings so everyone can enjoy!
Been coming to tuscawilla since i was 5. Im 33 now and it definitely as changed but its still as fun now as then.
Interesting unique art installations.They truly did make a valiant effort to make a nice park in a not so nice neighborhood.The park itself could use a little TLC, paint is flaking, benches are rotting and gazebos are rusting.Its a nice mix of people fishing in ponds and drug dealing homeless people.Didnt see any families, but did get solicited by a woman belonging to the oldest profession.
Enjoyed the fact that you can ride bikes, kids can play, picnic and also scenic
Good to take the kids and walk around the lake! Pretty nice park.
I love this park it is very easy to find and you can see all kinds of different birds amazing
Tuscuwilla Park is a wonderful nice little Park in the heart of Ocala,Florida. Check it out when you can!
Beautiful park that me and my husband go to walk at.
To many problems to post. Between cleanlyness, to lack of dog area, to rude rangers, to pedofiles at this park. Lack of outlets to charge phones. To the main security leader stating he pays electric out of pocket, yet tax payers for the city pay the electric. I would never recommend this city park.
Really nice place. The kids love it. We like to end the play time with a walk around the lake
Nice pond with ducks and wood storks. Pretty setting, basketball court, skate park, museum and a pavilion available to rent. Located right in the heart of Ocala only a couple of blocks from Silver Springs Blvd.
Love the mommy & little man swing so much! I get to swing, looking at my baby instead of pushing him while he swings by himself! We both love this park, and they have plenty of slides, bridges & other playground equipment for toddlers to enjoy. My 19 month old can climb & slide all by himself now, which he loves of course!
Love love love this park!!#
Beautiful park. Cant wait until all the amenities open again in the post COVID19 world.
Nice park....has many different types of ducks....geese.... fish....turtles.....great place to play pokemon go and has a nice park and lake for the kids
Love feeding the ducks and squirrels, with hubby
Awesome place to feed the ducks, walk, and relax. Theres a huge playground for the kids to play as well as work out equipment for adults too.
We had an incredible event. As the Florida Carry Region 5 Lead we held a Open Carry event there. We had 250+ people legally carrying long guns and handguns. We had a bunch of families attending and families with kids in the park came to visit and also enjoyed the day with us. I highly recommend Tuscawila park.
Sunday afternoon in the park!Great walking paths, lots to enjoy while being outdoors. There are art sculptures, ducks, turtles, large shady oaks everywhere. Tennis court, fishing, kids playground.I would suggest bringing drinks and snacks as there isnt anything quick to grab.If its hot there is plenty of shade and green to enjoy!The new bridge is fantastic!You can spend an entire day here relaxing and enjoying yourself..alone, as a couple or with the entire family.Please use the trash cans around the park, too many people leave trash in the waters and on the grassy areas. No excuses!!
Alot of shady people around, very crowded, ponds need to be cleaned more often definetly
I love that park it help me relax
Love that this park has been fixed up and made more family friendly. Park is peaceful and walking is beautiful. The beauty of nature at this park is picturesque.
This park is a lot of fun. It is located very close to history downtown Ocala. The walk around the ponds is peaceful and pretty. They keep the park very clean. There are sculptures places all around the walkway around the park that are fun to look at and it seems that they are always adding more. On the far side of the park there is tennis courts, basketball courts and a large childrens playground. Throughout the year, Ocala hosts many festivals in Tuscawilla park and it has always been a blast. Take your family out for a fun day at the park! And dont forget to bring your four-legged friends as well!
I was really impressed by the selection of play ground equipment. My daughters absolutely loved the merry go round. The surrounding setting is very peaceful with plenty of trees, lots of ducks and other birds. We will definitely be back!
Beautiful, serene park with ducks & birds! We had our take out dinner sitting at a picnic table near the water! Nice breeze, few bugs, great alternative to eating inside a restaurant !
Its ok. We need more change like security and light
Funny stone faces all around the park, a great place to bring the kids!!
Beautiful park but limited shade, in fact the only shade provided contained at least 20 homeless people laid all in.
This park has come to be my woo- sah retreat after a long week! Ive caught several fish here as well!
The weather was perfect I enjoyed watching the children fish in the kids tournament with their parents the FWC did a great job as always
This park is beautiful. Nice play area. Lovely lake. Very shady. Perfect place for a walk, run, baskeball pick up game. I would watch for homeless
Great park with two play grounds for ages 2-9. WiFi throughout the play ground and surrounding areas. There is a lake with a walking path and bridge that is great for walking or running, dog friendly and dont forget the camera to take shots of the ducks. You can also fish in the lake. Only thing I would say is there is a lot of older people that sometimes gather around the pavilion that make the experience less relaxing and might or might not be up to no good :(
Always a blast @ the 95.5 Wind-FM tribute rock shows! We brought some friends from south fl who had never been to one. They had such a great time so they bought tickets to come and enjoy a few more shows with us! Looking forward to enjoying a few more shows! Thanks for all those who contribute to allow us to go to the Reilly & enjoy great shows!
Loved it Im from Alabama so the Big oaks with the Moss brought back memories of home enjoy the art the big fishing pole it was a nice day so we really enjoyed the park new to Florida so well be coming back ! Cant forget about the Beautiful ducks
I really like this park a lot its my most favorite one in the whole area. I have been coming here for quite a few years and its excellent for getting some excersize and to bring families, friends, and dates to. Its a very pretty place and they also offer a lot of activities. They have a playground for kids, a basketball court, a tennis court, and an area for baseball, but Im not a 100 percent if they have that one or not, but I think they do. The most thing that I love about this park is that they have so many kinds of cute ducks and other fowl and its hard not to get attached to the ducks. Hey what can I say theyre so cute️
This park has always been very nice. Its right near town and near most people. I also like that it has so much for the kids from the pond to the park area. They love the different obstacles to play on such as the jungle gym etc.
This park was very clean and comfortable to take the kids to let them play and enjoy themselves. The equipment is updated and well maintained. I especially liked the Take a Book, Leave a Book box that they have next to the jungle gym!
It has been a long while since I visited this park and it has turned into such a beautiful, safe family friendly and welcoming park. There is even a cool skate park where the additional parking is at and its just beautiful. I want to check out the discovery center that looks fascinating.
Clean and very quiet and peaceful setting saw. Baby ducks and theyre mom
We love Tuscawilla Park!!! Family and dog friendly (leashed and cleaned up after).
My kids have so much fun
We love this park. Every year they have a judged sculpture contest with sculptures come from all over, with about 20 large sculptures, placed around the pond, adding to the permanent collection.But just a simple stroll around the pond is delightful.
Clean fun and we enjoyednfeeding the ducks
Great to walk n relax
Really nice place to enjoy family time!!!
This park has a lot of potential. For the most part it is a beautiful place to hang out but it is under maintained. There is a lot of litter despite many available garbage cans and no signs advising people not to feed bread to the birds. One of the drainage ponds is absolutely rotten with the waste created by bread feeding. More signs need to be placed about this because apparently the locals dont realize that birds which thrive on a primarily fish diet cannot digest bread. No birds can. If people are going to feed birds, they need to be told what to feed them and this park needs to be cleaned badly and there needs to be enforcement of proper bird feeding or none at all because not only is this incredibly unsafe for the birds but it is making an otherwise beautiful park an unclean habitat for wildlife.
One of the best places Ive ever visited. All the memories and countless hours here. I highly suggest taking your kids here.
Beautiful park with art pieces scattered throughout the whole park nice playground and tennis court.
Very nice park lots of space
Beautiful, never miss a chance to visit when Im in town. They have made lots of improvements.
FANTASTIC!!! The Cattle Run was a nice event...
This is a nice park for everyone, clean,rooming and not over crowded . Beautiful playground with different sized equipment for all ages, walking trail,you can sit on blankets or benches and just relax .play tennis, basketball even fish.The homeless were minding their businesses so it didnt bother me, could be I picked a good time to go though. Anyways I loved it.
Tuscawilla is a beautiful park with lots of space and playgrounds. The Reilly center is on the grounds which hosts many concerts and symphonies And also is home to my beloved East Campus Meadowbrook Church!!! Come join us every Sunday at 10 or 11:30!
Beautiful that I could see. The different types of Ducks and birds were amazing to look at. I could stay all day and watch them. Nice playground for multiple ages. Basketball courts, nice walk areas, lots of shade. Glad I discovered it and will go back again.
Park is always clean and safe. A must to take your kids for a great time. Park is patroled by rangers who arent afraid to make your time there your best.
Very nice just needs the trash cleaned up!

Fun place to take the kids for a morning or afternoon. I think it would be great for a family picnic, too.
Awesome scenery and very clean park!
Go there atleast twice a week. The kids love it.
I find it useful to live because living is the ultimate it can both be a reward,and a challenge!
Beautiful area lots to do ..
Visited with my grandchildren and absolutely loved it. The park is clean and child friendly/safe all around. We had a great time. Thank you.
So many birds. Nice and easy, short stroll. Good for a quick dogwalk. Open feel along the water inspires head space and deeper breaths.
Quiet and serene...beautiful !
Great place to take the family and the art monuments are nice places to take pics.
It seems dangerous and not safe.
Liked the art around the park, but bathrooms and playground needed a cleaning at least the day I visited the park.
Peacefull and quite place. Exelent area to relax after a hard working day or to take your kids to play and stroll around the park.
This is down town Ocalas park and has a very nice trail that bends around water. You can fish here as well. The playground is big and there is basketball courts.
Really nice and relaxing park nice walking area around the lakes and alot of art to look at and plenty of recreation for kids and adults great for picnics as well
My grandson and I had a Great time there. The city has really cleaned up the park and its patrons.
Beautiful near water picnic trail to walk
I wish there was more shade there. My son got burned even with sunblock.
My Granddaughter was in labor but not close enough, the hospital sent us home. We went to Tuscawilla Park for an exersize instead. Then we went back to the hospital and had my Great Granddaughter.
Fun place for kids with a playground and the science center near by. Great for a day out with the children
This park has been around for Years. Several events happen at this park from time to time, my favorite are the annual Firework shows over the lake.. Parking can be a pain during events, but definitely worth going to take a walk and breathe..
Great playground for different ages kids. Seating available.
