Larimer Memorial Library is a historic library at 216 Reid Street in the city of Palatka, Putnam County, Florida, in the United States. Was occupied by the Arts Council of Greater Palatka in 1992 and renamed the Larimer Arts Center. On March 12, 2008, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. In 2025 the City of Palatka allowed the Larimer Arts Center to change management to the River City Players. It is currently the home of the River City Players community theater, the Arts Alliance of Putnam, and arts advocacy non-profit, and the Gathering Artists of Putnam LLC, a membership organization of visual artists.

A 59-acre Florida State Park, it was constructed by the Works Progress Administration, with cypress buildings, rock gardens and fieldstone terraces. Near the park entrance is The Court of States and a 64-foot obelisk dedicated to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Recreational activities include viewing the thousands of plants and shrubs, picnicking, jogging, hiking and biking. Amenities include interpretive exhibits, picnic areas, gardens, hiking trails, a 1.8-mile paved perimeter loop road, and a parcours trail. Visitors can rent a large covered pavilion, auditorium, and meeting rooms. The park is part of the annual Azalea Festival the first weekend in March, when the nearly 100,000 plants that the WPA planted decades ago bloom.
