Along the banks of Halifax River Rockefeller Gardens is a special place! The Casements and its history is really something and the Birthplace of Speed - Ormond Beach - is close by. Definitely worth a visit and at least a quick stop.

My family and I found this beautiful park by accident. We were driving around looking for places to visit. What a beautiful little park to walk around, there was a man doing yoga in one of the building a that had shade. Just a beautiful natural place to walk around. Also the homes in the area are gorgeous and such a nice walk all around.

I have been going here since I was a kid. It has been worked on so much since then and heavily improved upon. It is a great place to go for any workout session or stroll along.

Awesome place, I can stay there all day and just enjoy the serenity of the place.

Great food at good price with good service. Social distancing is not accomplished. Outside eating area.

Beautiful and quiet place. It has a killer view at night. Its definitely worth checking it out if youre in the area.

Beautiful. Serene. Peaceful. We grab a to go dinner at Hulls then go there for a picnic. Ducks and doves fly in. People skate and exercise along the banks of the Halifax. Perfect location across the street from Rockefellers historic winter home.

A wonderful hidden find away from the hustle and bustle of the beach. Free parking at the Casements Museum across the street. Stay a few minutes or bring a picnic and enjoy the boats along the water. Lots of ducks when we visited as well.

Beautiful local park. Very open and pretty gardens. Is a historical.site for Ormomd Beach and has the Rockefeller Estate house on it as well. Great place to take walks and enjoy nature.

So Serene. Beautiful. Walkable

Beautiful, quiet, great outdoors with breathtaking views on the Halifax River

Great place to watch the sunset! My brother and I visited Rockefeller Gardens on a Sunday evening in late January 2020. We are senior citizens and tourists. The sunset was magnificent on this night. The grounds are beautiful and there is a very nice view in all directions. And when you look east, away from the waterfront, you see The Casements historic building. We are so glad we found this lovely park.

Nicely landscaped area on the edge of the Halifax.

Beautiful clean and great place to walk with the family!

Great place to take the family & dogs! Beautifully landscaped with a riverside backdrop and immaculately maintained Casements building in front. Many events are hosted here; Native American festival, Celtic festival, King of the Grill, movie nights, etc. we like to come in the evenings when it’s quiet to catch a beautiful sunset. Can walk to Cassen Park on the other side of the bridge without crossing busy Granada Blvd. My dogs love playing in the river here. Also, great access for those who want to walk/run the bridge.

Well kept riverfront park with amenities for families and kids, restrooms, and views of the Halifax.

Just beautiful. Clean.Well groomed landscapesAlso Spacious.

Absolutely gorgeous scenery! People out running and walking around waiting for the sunset over the bridge and the Christmas tree to light up! Mr. Rockefeller sure had a thing for big trees and the legacy lives on! Stunning on a beautiful evening!

Would have been 5 stars but very little shade

A very interesting site. It would be an excellent activity for a history buff. Very well restored and maintained home.

Cultural center of ormond beach. See why john d. Loved it as his winter home

The food is what you expect from fine dining. Delicious! Our wait person, Olivias graciousness made me feel like a guest in her home. Her knowledge of food and the menu is incredible. Olivia made the experience really special.

Enjoy walking around the park or just sitting on a bench. Beautiful grounds.

Nice place for outdoor activitiesI wish the India day festival had more food options.Maybe next year

Great jewel of Ormond Beach. The Casements is a beautiful historic home available for tours and beautifully decorated for the holidays.The grounds of Rockefeller Gardens are meticulously maintained. The perfect place for outdoor weddings, concerts or cultural festivals. Located just a few minutes to the beach. Its a great place to sit and relax by the Halifax River to watch the sunset or enjoy a walk with your family and friends. There are many health enthusiasts who exercise across the Granada Bridge each day and Rockefeller Gardens is the ideal place to rest for a few minutes before heading back to the mainland. Enjoy!

A beautiful place to spend some time.

Its a beautiful place to go and walk or look at the water

Attended 4th of July celebration and fireworks at Rockefeller Gardens, grounds of former summer home of Nelson Rockefeller. Music and a great fireworks show provided by the city of Ormond Beach.

Beautiful park for walking and space to Social Distance.

This park is absolutely beautiful especially at Sunset. Great place for pics and bringing your dog to walk.

Ormandy Beach festival was fun. Lots of good food and activities. It was cold but people came. Great job!

A beautifull place the sunsets are just wounderfull.

Beautiful plants. Nice for taking a walk & meditating. Nice place in the middle of the city. Somewhere to go when you feel like getting away from it all. Very peaceful

If you are a historian or just love taking tours of museums and historical sites this is a MUST. Very interesting facts about Rockefeller and many others who lived or visited the Estate.

While it is right on the Halifax River, it is small with no real features, little parking and no public restrooms. If you walk under the bridge to Fortunato Park, it is much nicer.

This p look ace is beautiful. The Casements next door is rich with history about the Rockeffers.

This park is vastly improved from what it was a few years ago. The city and the casements guild have done wonders. The setting is perfect with a great View of the Halifax River. Its great for a walk from there under the Ormond Bridge to Fortunato Park.

Neat place not crowded at all. Just a note there are no restrooms there. Flown my drone a few times there with no problems.

Beautiful landscape that features a variety of great events throughout the year. Great to walk or bike through when nothings going on there.

Beautiful grounds and house. Decorated for Christmas is stunning!

Loved the Rockafeller Gardens. Great place for family photos.

I attended The King of the Grill event. Great food. Geat music.

Good place to hang out. Fishing, walking. Nice day on the water

Not a garden so much is a big empty lot of grass. But still nice.

Beautiful park

St James Episcopal hosted an Easter Sunrise Service

Love it over here my Autistic son loves the water n walking around here such a nice place to be n there is even lots of shade the dogs love it too seems like everyone else has their dogs with them

Very pretty, well maintained and I love that they have different events there.

Fantastic gardens, great place to take a stroll and enjoy nature.

Beautiful facility, great wedding location.

My daughter and I came to take a tour of the Casements. Afterward we walked across the street do the gardens and walked around for a bit. Lots of walking sidewalks and grass and places to sit and relax by the river. Very enjoyable!

Theres magic here in the winding walkways. Listen as the giant bamboo moves in the wind. Youll swear it talks to you. The waterfall will rescue your troubled mind and perhaps as you walk the labyrinth you will find inner peace. Namaste.

Celtic Festival 2019 tons of fun & great music & food! Casements in Ormond Beach, very beautiful venue for a festival. Right on the river.

Went here for the Celtic Festival with my Mom. The park is perfect for that kind of function. Next time I hope to be able to tour the mansion.

I love 2 walk here and watch my sunsets

Beautiful place to walk, relax, and take in the scenery.

We stumbled on it, beautiful place and we watched an amazing sunset

Its a pretty park and has beautiful water views and sunsets .. great place for a wedding or other celebratory event. Lots of festivals take plsce here. There are also movie in the park nights where people bring chairs, blankets and picnic baskets and watch a movie.

Nice family park. Good for walking with a mini playground. Historic as well and has many events randomly through the year. Well kept and clean

Great park to walk in or bring kids

Beautiful!

Very nice place. Great Riverside venue.

We arrived late for India Day so the food stalls had run out of most of the food; the available items did not interest us. The music was good and we had just settled down when the lightening started, so we left!

Great place

Nice little park and dock. Well maintained, and surprisingly nice bathrooms by park standards.

Beautiful, clean walking paths along the Halifax River.

Very nice place very clean good place to take the family and pets

Beautiful---wonderful for walking!

The docent was hurried. Interested but, bad hip, prevented me from really enjoying myself.

Nice location, the view is amazing

Beautiful space next to the river.

Beautiful place to come with your family during multiple events or just to enjoy the views of the river, bridge, garden and plants. This place is always clean and safe, fortunately never heard about any kind of crime or accidents there. Public transportation and parking lot available.

Beautiful place. Had a great time here with my family. I guarantee youll like it too.

Good place to go to get a piece of mind... An its a good place to watch the fireworks on the 4Th of July...

Very professional staff good

Great place for weddings and scenic views

I love the history that was shared by the guide. Free parking, free tours (self guided or with a tour guide) and a gift shop. Three floors of historic information and artifacts.

Great place to walk around

Definitely worth a walk thru. So relaxing, beautiful with lovely water view.

Rockefeller is a family friendly park great for walks or a festival. We truly enjoy our visits here year round and look forward to festivals hosted by the city. One of our favorite events is The King of The Grill. Of you ever get the opportunity, this event is worth the visit.

Loved the gardens. The flower displays were gorgeous.

Unfortunately we were told this was the best Dog Park. We latter found out this had no designated and gated area for Dogs to wonder without a leash. Lenox Park in Daytona is 10X Better for Dags.... Otherwise we love to jag this area!.... Thank you Ormond Beach!

Historic park with awsome view of river

John D. Rockefellers winter residence. The grounds are beautifully maintained, the views are amazing and all the festivals in Ormond are held there. A definite must stop. Park at Fortunato Park on the north side of the bridge and walk underneath to Rockefeller Gardens.

Great place to walk, love the beautiful view

A beautiful spot for a stroll .

Its beautiful and relaxing to walk the pathways and admire the vegetation. If you didnt hear the traffic on Granada youd think you were in a far off place.

Its a great place not over crowded and its a quite jewel.

Very beautiful little park

Ive nava visited yet.photos. I e.njk

A great local park that has different events throughout the year that are fun for all. There is a path that goes around the whole park, under the bridge and to the other side and continues a loop. Great walk for those with dogs and they are allowed on leash. Across from the park is The Casements (Rockefellers House) and you can tour the home. Great venue for a wedding also.

Beautiful place

Beautiful with lots of history. Even if you dont make it while the tours are open, the grounds are great and there are plenty of placards with stories and history to read. Without a tour, plan on about 30 minutes before you get bored.

Good

Park where live concerts and events are held. This day the On To It band performed before the fireworks began at 9:30. Food stands provided various foods and treats. Fun day along the Halifax River (Intercoastal Waterway) in the park.

Beautiful spot, great for events!

Wonderful place to walk and enjoy river park. Lots of social activity all year long

Fabulous 4th of July venue. The town hosts a terrific family friendly Independence Day celebration and fireworks display.

Beautiful relaxing spot for family fun

A breathtaking park
