- a walking trail with fitness stations
- Basketball Court
- Racquetball Court
- Tennis Court
- Volleyball Court
- Dog Park
- Skate Park
- Splash Park
- new playground
- new restroom
- pavilion
- green space for future events
The city was also awarded a $400,000 grant from the County of Volusia ECHO program which helped further develop the park.Â
The transformation of Whistle Stop Park will be celebrated at the Grand Opening/Ribbon cutting event which will begin at 9:00 AM.Â
Immediately following the ribbon cutting the first ever EdgeFest Health Hootenanny will kick off and go until 1:00 PM. There will be fitness demonstrations, music, vendors and lots of healthy fun!Â
