Action Plan 1-1, 2-5, and 2-8 Recreational: Recreational opportunities abound along the Corridor.

There are also numerous Volusia County and City of Ormond Beach facilities of various sizes. Activities such as swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, jogging, rollerblading, motorcycle riding, camping, boating, canoeing/kayaking, bird-watching, and sightseeing are available within the Corridor limits. Locations of the Recreational Resources are depicted on Maps 9 and 10. Fortunato Park A. North Peninsula State Park Beginning at the Flagler/Volusia County line on SR A1A, the North Peninsula State Park is a 522.26 acre nature preserve and refuge that spans the width of the peninsula. The park area west of Ocean Shore Boulevard is maintained as a natural preserve for Florida scrub jays, gopher tortoises and other wildlife. On the east side, SR A1A offers travelers a magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean while showcasing 2 ½ miles of natural dunes and pristine shorelines. Public parking and a handicapped accessible dune walkover are provided for the public at the intersection of SR A1A and Highbridge Road. Along part of the west side, John Anderson Drive takes travelers along the banks of the Halifax River (Intracoastal Waterway) along a hammock of twisted palms, oaks, and pines, which form a canopy over the roadway. Areas of prehistoric activity are located along the banks of the Halifax River at the southern edge of the North Peninsula State Park. The park is intersected by Highbridge Road, which connects SR A1A with John Anderson Drive and serves as a gateway to an uninterrupted green Corridor of more than 10,000 acres.

Items of historical interest include the Fairchild Oak and coquina ruins of a land title office. The Fairchild Oak was dedicated by the Leigh Portland Cement Company in the memory of Drive David Fairchild. Drive Fairchild was an American botanist who introduced the soybean and many other valuable forms of plant life to the United States. Additionally, the park offers a picnic shelter and an interpretive kiosk at the Dummett Sugar Mill Ruins. A wildlife observation deck is available north of Walter Boardman Lane near the existing trail crossing and existing pull off. Fairchild Oak at Bulow Creek State Park C.

It is located approximately three quarters of a mile west of North Beach Street and is currently isolated by private property. There is a small interpretive sign and the site can be accessed by canoe. Tomoka River near Ormond and Daytona D. Tomoka State Park Tomoka State Park is one of the oldest designated parks in the State of Florida and additional parcels have been added over the years. The park offers numerous locations for picnics with barbeques, nature trails, and an historic marker identifying the Tomokie sculpture and providing information about the Chief Indian that inspired it. Additional amenities include a marina with a ramp and dock, a canoe launch, concessions, campsites, bathhouses, fishing docks, the gravestone for James Ormond II, and a museum. In addition to housing works of the artist it is named after, the Fred Dana Marsh Museum has exhibits on the ecology and history of the Park. On the second Saturday of each month, living history interpreters discuss their time period and crafts with visitors. The Action Plan includes the addition of interpretive panels throughout the Corridor. Several panels describing the natural, cultural, historical and archeological resources should be constructed in Tomoka State Park as a part of this program.
