Tucked away in the heart of Babson Park, this longtime community favorite is has newer life for families to enjoy. Located at 5th Avenue, Babson Park, FL 33827, the park is one of Polk County’s older neighborhood parks — and now features an improved playground and basketball court.
Conveniently situated between Lake Wales and Frostproof, the park offers a welcoming space for children to play, teens to shoot hoops, and families to gather outdoors. The updated playground provides modern equipment for kids to climb, slide, and explore, while the refreshed basketball court offers a great spot for pickup games and community fun.
Babson Park Playground continues to serve as a central gathering place for residents, blending its long-standing history with new improvements that make it a great destination for outdoor recreation.
