Orange City spotlights Dickinson Park's gazebo, butterfly garden in parks series
Summary
A Parks and Recreation video segment highlighted Dickinson Park at 120 East Grace Avenue, describing its 0.9-acre footprint, gazebo, two fountains, life-sized butterfly wings and a butterfly garden installed in April 2024 by a local student.
In a July "Walk in the Park Wednesday" segment, Orange City Parks & Recreation highlighted Dickinson Park at 120 East Grace Avenue, next to Dickinson Memorial Library, describing the 0.9-acre site's gazebo, two fountains, butterfly garden and life-sized butterfly wings.
The feature explained why the park matters to neighborhood visitors and families: it offers shaded benches and a small gazebo suited to picnics or quiet reading, seasonal holiday lighting in December, and community-built attractions. A Parks and Recreation staff member (Presenter) said, "You'll find shady benches, a beautiful gazebo, and 2 relaxing fountains at the heart of it all."
The segment noted the butterfly garden was installed in April 2024 by Addison Zizzo, identified in the recording as a local middle schooler and Eagle Scout. It also said there are no restrooms or grills in the park. The recording described Dickinson Park as "full of charm, color, and community spirit," and indicated the "Walk in the Park" series ran through July, with viewers invited to "tune in next week for our final parks feature featuring our parks and recreation staff."
The segment was informational; it did not propose policy changes, solicit public comment, or announce capital projects or funding. It did not provide operating hours, contact information, or a maintenance schedule.
