Z.L. Riley Park

Z.L. Riley Park is a gem in the heart of Parramore. This exceptional park honors Mr. Zellie L. Riley, a significant Parramore businessman who in the 1950’s founded the Negro Chamber of Commerce (now known as the African-American Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida). This beautiful park features mosaic artwork reflecting Z.L. Riley’s contributions to the community and African themes made by Parramore Kidz Zone youth.

This park was made possible as a joint project between the City of Orlando, the Orange County Expressway Authority and a grant from the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program.

Children can enjoy the colorful playground while their families relax in the open green spaces or prepare picnics with the grills. Z.L. Riley Park can accommodate special events with its unique large pavilion which can be used as a stage, wide sidewalk, and spaces and utility hookups for vendor areas. Limited parking on side streets is available.
