    Green Springs Park is a 36-acre public park in Volusia County with a remarkable history. The park features a playground, trails, and the famous Green Springs sulphur spring. Native people lived in the area at least 6,000 years ago, drawn to local food and springs. The park has long been a popular destination, first for native peoples, then Seminole War soldiers, settlers and innkeepers in the 1840s, tourists after the Civil War, and 20th century visitors relaxing at the private swimming hole. The scenic springs and land were considered some of the most picturesque in Florida.
