City of Port Orange

Port Orange is a mid-sized city in East Central Florida, a part of the Greater Daytona Beach Area. Port Orange is a progressive city with a population of 61,000 people and 150 years of rich history. A leader in community spirit and design, it boasts an award-winning municipal complex and well-planned residential development. For 34 consecutive years, the city has received the Tree City USA award by the National Arbor Day Foundation. Residents and visitors enjoy diverse opportunities for waterfront relaxation, including fishing, boating, gold and other sports. The eastern area of Port Orange, now known as The River District, is a refreshing place to be with the grand opening of the new Riverwalk Park in 2017, which includes a playground, splash park, picnic facilities, pavilions, shade structures, additional restrooms, a concession building, a portion of the boardwalk, event lawn, parking and the southern portion of the trailway. The north side of the park opened in 2016 with a kayak/canoe launch, trail and over-water boardwalk and trailhead.
