Daniel B. Chaires Community Park

Sports Facilities

This park offers a good variety of athletic options. You'll come across two Little League baseball fields with lights for those evening games when the Florida heat has finally subsided, plus a T-ball field (though this one doesn't have lighting). The baseball outfields pull double-duty, as practice space for other sports too.

Tennis, anyone? Four lighted tennis courts await your best serves and volleys. In recent years, the park has also embraced the pickleball craze, offering dedicated courts complete with lights and nets for this increasingly popular sport.

If basketball is more your style, two basketball courts are ready for your next pickup game or practice session.

Recreation Amenities

Beyond organized sports, Daniel B. Chaires Community Park offers plenty of ways to unwind. Kids can burn off energy at the playground area, however it might show signs of loving use over the years.

Picnic areas scattered throughout provide perfect spots for family lunches or catching up with friends under the Florida sun. The overall cleanliness and maintenance make for a pleasant experience when you need some outdoor time.

When nature calls, you'll appreciate the clean restroom facilities. During events or longer visits, there's a concession building available if you need refreshments.

Community Center

At the heart of this park sits a welcoming community center that hosts various local events during the year. It hosts various neighborhood gatherings, adding to the small-town atmosphere just outside Tallahassee.

Park Management

Leon County's Parks and Recreation Department keeps things running smoothly here, handling everything from maintenance to activity scheduling. While modest in amenities, it's a reliable, well-maintained space - a bit of a hidden green just a short drive from the city.
