Editor’s note (May 2026)
An earlier version of this page placed Ralph Russell Park at 2300 SW 19th Avenue Road and described it as a City of Ocala park with soccer fields, walking trails, and picnic pavilions. That information was incorrect. The actual park is at 1690 Pine Road, Ocala, FL 34472 and is a Marion County park. Verified amenities (baseball field, softball field, basketball, playground, restrooms, concessions) and history (1978 donation; home to Right Way Little League) come from Marion County Parks & Recreation.
