About the Venue

Floral Park Inclusive Playground is part of Opelika's renovated Floral Park and was reopened in 2025 as a large family-focused destination. Official city materials describe five pods of inclusive playground equipment, three separate swing pods, a splash pad at the center, four covered pavilions, restroom facilities, and extensive parking. This is a strong pick for families planning a longer outing, especially in warm weather when the splash features are running.
