What Should a Group Know Before Visiting Dickson Azalea Park?

Dickson Azalea Park is a City of Orlando park at 100 Rosearden Drive, open sunrise to sunset, with picnic tables, a paved walking path and bike and jogging trails; any event on city property with more than 100 people needs a City of Orlando Special Events Permit filed at least 60 days ahead.

What is the park's history?

The land was originally a watering hole for cattle herders. It became a City of Orlando park in 1924 and is named for Col. H. H. Dickson, and its Washington Street Bridge dates to 1926, which is why the bridge appears in so many group photos. Source: orlando.gov.

Can a group reserve space in the park?

The city rents pavilions, picnic tables and open spaces in its parks. Call 407.246.2283 to check availability, then submit the online request; staff reply within two business days and full payment secures the date. Rentals are for family events such as birthdays and reunions, bounce houses are not allowed, a 50 dollar insurance fee may apply, and areas you have not rented stay first-come, first-served.

Where does the bus drop off?

The city does not publish parking or a bus loading zone for this small neighborhood park, and the streets around it in Thornton Park are residential. Plan a quick curbside drop-off on Rosearden Drive or a nearby street, then have the coach stage elsewhere and return at a set pickup time rather than idling on a neighborhood street.
