    I've driven by this beautiful park sooo many times, and I cannot believe I never visited. Once you drive through the gates, the first thing you notice is that it doesn't seem like you're in Florida anymore. It's almost as if you're in gorgeous park in Savannah GA. There are thousands of cypress trees covered in Spanish moss, ample bike and walking trails, intricate bridges, areas for children to play (and adults), as well as a horse riding area, volleyball courts and gazebos. The view of the winter park chain of lakes is absolutely stunning, with several docks that you can walk out onto and enjoy the view. You'd be hard pressed to find a single palm tree, and it feels that you've traveled to another world. I spent at least three hours walking, sunbathing, and half asleep on benches. Best.day.ever.

    Cypress Grove Park is a great park located on Holden Avenue. It is a large park that foe whatever reason, reminds me of a large golf course without any actual holes. I do not mean this in a disparaging way, but everything that I am in the park I half expect to see a golfing group strolling by with caddies in tow. Cypress Grove Park also contains the Grove House and the Estate House, both great places for venues. There are also places to picnic or walk and Cypress Grove Park is a great place to unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle of living in a city. All in all, this is a cool place to head towards if you want to take a break from the stress of modern Orlando living. This park is in the Holden Heights section of Orlando, Florida, a bit south of the SODO district and also south of the downtown area. I will give Cypress Grove Park five stars and I would definitely recommend this park.

    Nice quiet little stop on our trip to the Disney area. Pretty views with trees with tons of Spanish moss give it a real "Southern feel". Also nice area near the water for picnics and pleasant views. When we visited they were having an annual pioneer festival which was really cool. I even bought a t shirt. If you want a low key way to slow things down during your trip to Disney I suggest this park.

    I've always loved this park...Im surprised I haven't written a review as yet. It's a great place for a romantic picnic. We used to picnic here all the time when we lived in Orlando. There are many private places to set up a blanket and a basket of goodies. There are several grills located all over the park as well for family/friends' barbecue. The kids loved the playground area, equipped with swings and seesaws, and slides galore. And the view of the lake no matter where you're standing or sitting is a beautiful site to see. Sunsets over the water are the best. This is a perfect park for taking pictures and doing photoshoots. There is a public restroom that has always been clean whenever I needed to use it. But the best part about this park to me is the trees. The endless amount of trees that sway in the wind, to sit under and view, is priceless. I get lost in a good daydream whenever I visit.

    For parks, I would give this one five stars. It's on a very large area of land, many different zones for activities, picnics, soccer, festivals, etc. There's a small playground near a lake and always many families and friends visiting. I think the most important thing is that it seems to stay clean! No litter or random garbage everywhere, and the landscaping stays up to par.

    Well, to be honest, it depends what you want out of a park. If you're looking for a big field with a concrete walkway to walk around in the sun. This place is a five If you're looking to enjoy nature, maybe see some birds or critters this place is a 1 or 2. Can you guess which type of person I am?

    This is probably one of the most beautiful parks we have ever been to in Central Florida. The play ground is clean and has lots of activities for the kids to enjoy. It also has a beautiful walkway with a gorgeous gazebo with a beautiful view of the lake. I really recommend this park to anyone that wants to take their family to the playground or if you want to go for a nice walk.

    This is a beautiful park near the intersection of Holden and Orange Ave. It is large with lots of pretty trees, a playground, picnic areas, sports areas, a lakeside section, a walking loop, and a beautiful estate house they use for weddings and events. It's definitely a great local park to visit to get some exercise in and just enjoy being outside on a nice day!

    I drove here once on my lunch break for a change of scenery, and it turned out to be a good decision. I sat at one of the picnic tables and ate before exploring. It was larger than I anticipated so there was a lot of walking (a welcome change from sitting in a cubicle all morning). It's a lovely park that looks well maintained and it includes a playground for the kids, sports areas, and pavilions. It also has an estate house that I was curious to explore but I wasn't sure if it was open for visitors or if it was an "event only" type of venue, plus I was on a time limit so I passed on by. My favorite area was the lake. It was beautiful and calm, and I could easily feel the stress of the workday melting away for the short time I was in the park. They had a section that was closed off due to an engagement photoshoot, so I tried to keep a respectful distance. Apparently this place is popular for weddings and photoshoots, which makes sense because you couldn't go wrong with the scenery here. Glad I got to visit at least once!

    Yelp 100 Challenge 2017- 21/100 This is such an awesome park!! The lovely oak trees that line the entrance is only a preview of how beautiful the park is. There is no entrance fee and the hours are 8:00am -8:00pm. I went to walk on the trail at 7:00pm. The park was clean and the lawns are well maintenance. I felt safe even walking alone. The trail in the interior of the park is a little over a mile and there's plenty of space for walkers/runners & bikers. The sun was getting ready to set but there are a lot of trees to provide shade on the path. There's a playground for children, fishing dock and an event space that I'm told a lot of people utilize for wedding. There's also a basketball court and volleyball area. I can't wait to get back for a picnic and more walking.

    This lovely neighborhood park was named in honor of Wilson Phelps, a Chicago businessman who toured…read morethe area in 1874 and purchased land east of Lake Osceola for a citrus business. In addition to growing citrus, Phelps sold lots to fellow Chicagoans and mentored Loring Chase and Oliver Chapman into turning this largely unsettled area into an upscale winter resort. Phelps, acting as a one-man chamber of commerce, provided the basis of the promotional materials used by Chase and Chapman who marketed Winter Park to wealthy northerners. This nearly six acre park, in Winter Park, provides both natural beauty and recreational opportunities. One of the nicest features of this park is the playground that was rebuilt in 2021 by Kompan Design with input from area residents. This playground was designed to improve physical, cognitive, creative, and social development while fostering imaginative play and friendships. Other park amenities include basketball courts, tennis courts, pavilions available for rental, restrooms, picnic tables, and outdoor fitness equipment. There are also two hardcourts for pickleball. This park is fully fenced for safety and is beautifully landscaped and it is close to downtown Winter Park where you can find shopping and dining options. This park is the perfect place for a morning stroll, a birthday party, play, or a picnic. Phelps Park appeals to all ages. Community Parks don't come much nicer than this one.

It underwent a major renovation in 2021 where they added lots of amenities and made everything brand new. Even now, 5 years later, everything has been so well maintained and still feels like new. They have a free miniature golf putting course, an awesome splash pad, shaded playgrounds, basketball courts, and a nice nature walking path. You'll also find shaded picnic pavilions and a community garden. My son absolutely loves coming here. The parking lot can be a little tricky to find because my GPS using Google Maps never takes me to the right place. Don't let the location detour you from visiting.

    Lake Lorna Doone Park is one of the oldest parks in Orlando. It is just north of Camping World…read moreStadium. The neighborhood and the park is named after one of the earliest property owner's daughter's favorite novel, Lorna Doone, written by English author, Richard Doddridge Blackmore, published in 1869. Lake Lorna Doone was the site of the South's first integrated Little League Baseball game on August 9, 1955. The 1955 little league season was the first after US Supreme Court rulings had eliminated "separate but equal" conditions in the nation's schools and public parks. The Pensacola Jaycees were declared winners of their local district by Little League headquarters in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. When local officials would not allow them to play against the all-white teams they instead advanced to the Florida State Tournament which was held at Lake Lorna Doone Park. They ended up losing to host Orlando in the second round, 5-0 but they were welcomed by the hometown crowd and given encouragement. In 2021, 12 acre Lake Lorna Doone Park underwent an $8 million renovation. Added to the park was the nine hole Arnold Palmer Putting Experience, fitness stations, a playground, football fields, basketball courts, a splash pad and the Winnie Palmer Nature Trail. I especially liked the nature trail where I got to see native plants and wildlife. With the upgrades, this park now has all of the amenities needed to inspire a healthy, active lifestyle for the West Lakes families who live in this neighborhood and all who visit.
