Arcadia Park is a small park in Odesa, Ukraine, located up to 2014 in the historical quarter Arcadia, at the end of the Genuezska Street, down from the 10th of April Square, on the coast of the Gulf of Odesa.

The park is known for its numerous restaurants, bars and nightclubs. The famous beach Arcadia Beach is located here. The best known place in the park is its Central Avenue, which threads down from the Genuezska Street to the sea coast, where the beach is located.

Extensive reconstruction of the park, mostly on its Central Avenue, was started in January 2014. Nearly all the plants and greenery were demolished, the central avenue was covered with granite pavement tiles. Also, massive marble fountains and planters were constructed. The fountains are covered by plywood in the winter time. A little trees, mainly pines and palms, transported from Italy, were planted.

The Seaboard–All Florida Railway was a subsidiary of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad that oversaw two major extensions of the system in the early 1920s to southern Florida on each coast during the land boom. One line extended the Seaboard's tracks on the east coast from West Palm Beach down to Fort Lauderdale and Miami, while the other extension on the west coast extended the tracks from Fort Ogden south to Fort Myers and Naples, with branches from Fort Myers to LaBelle and Punta Rassa. These two extensions were heavily championed by Seaboard president S. Davies Warfield, and were constructed by Foley Brothers railroad contractors. Both extensions also allowed the Seaboard to better compete with the Florida East Coast Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, who already served the lower east and west coasts of Florida respectively.
