5 Stars for a park right at the apex of downtown Baldwin Park. New Broad Street is lined with restaurants and shops, but the anchor is Harbor Park. It's on one side of Lake Baldwin, with the walking/biking path running right through it. It's got a great grassy area along the water with terraces that make it perfect for picnicking and enjoying the view. I usually see several types of birds while there and more than a few bunnies if the timing is right. There are several groups that use the docks for yoga sessions and other groups that meet here for the start of 5Ks and walking/run groups. The neighborhood also puts on fireworks shows for various holidays and also market stalls on certain days of the month. It's a true community space and serves as a gathering place for so many groups. read more

This is such a beautiful park that I can't believe I've never explored in the Baldwin Park area! I came out here over the weekend for a 5K, and I didn't really know what to expect at first but Harbor Park was so tranquil and had some great views during my run! There's a small rock that goes out to the lake so if you're not looking to take a stroll that's a great spot to relax and enjoy a nice view! If you're a walker or jogger which it seems like the majority of people there were, you've got a pretty good stretch of sidewalk and path to use where it doesn't make it feel like you're weaving through people to move forward. I didn't do a full loop, but it does look like there's a section back rowers the woods that is shaded nicely which is great for hot days! I'd love to come back here again on a quiet morning and take a stroll. The locals have it really good here! read more

Harbor Park is a pleasant place that offers nice views of Lake Baldwin and is a nice part of the downtown Baldwin Park area. It is basically a walking path, some benches and a few docks, but it does fit the neighborhood perfectly. I would definitely recommend here. read more

ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- I visited Harbor Park in August 2023 in an impromptu evening when my 2 friends and I decided to go on a walk. My friend who lives in the area choose this park and she brought her dog. If you want to go jogging or walking then come to Harbor Park; however, for runners, be advised that the park does get busy in the summer so you probably will be dodging or passing people as you run which may not make for an enjoyable run. The park is surrounded by lovely apartments and a beautiful lake called Lake Baldwin. The homes and apartments are truly what make walking in this park so enjoyable besides the people watching. As you pass the homes, you feel as if you are in a very elite neighbourhood because the homes are truly lovely. This park is dog friendly as I saw alot of dogs on leashes with families. I don't remember seeing alot of benches along the way but the park looked well maintained. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 43/150 total reviews in 2024 - 693 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 23 June 2024 read more

From WWII until the 1990's, the area that is now Baldwin Park was owned by the US military. In 1942 the Orlando Army Air Station was established and it encompassed what is now the Orlando Executive Airport, Baldwin Park, Audubon Park, the Fashion Square Mall, and the Koger Office Center. In the early 1960's the air station closed and the land was used as a Navy training center that trained over 650,000 recruits. In 1993 the base was closed leaving a 1,000 acre hole right near downtown Orlando. The land was turned over for community and economic development. The Lake Baldwin neighborhood takes its name from Robert H. Baldwin, who helped establish the naval training center in Orlando. The Lake Baldwin neighborhood was developed in 2007 and has won many awards including accolades from the National Association of Home Builders, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Congress for the New Urbanism. The pristine neighborhood includes 15 different house styles including cottages, bungalows, and manor homes. The Lake Baldwin neighborhood is located on the shore of Lake Baldwin, one of two lakes on the former military property. Harbor Park is one of the parks in the Lake Baldwin neighborhood. Park amenities include boardwalks, benches, and gazebos which offer a great views of Lake Baldwin. The park is perfect for enjoying nature and watching sunsets. There are grassy areas for open play and picnics. Restaurants for dining and drinking are only a few feet away. I reached the park by biking along the Lake Baldwin Jogging Trail. I had a lot of fun riding my daughter's new Lectric E-bike through the park and taking in the beautiful scenery. read more

A beautiful park with a great pathway for biking, walking, running, etc. We lived in Baldwin park for a few years and went to this park frequently. I love that it has minimal interaction with the main traffic so it's a safe path to use regularly. they do host a lot of 5 case at the specific pathway, so if you do live in the area and might be kind of frustrating that there is constant traffic, both driving and foot traffic. However, if you live in this area you also know that this is a regular occurrence when you move in so you can't really expect it to not happen. it's a great location for people who have pets, because the path is very wide and it's easy to get around. A lot of people are walking their dogs here so it's a great space to see lots of animals. There is parking all around the lake, both in public parking lots, as well as, parallel parking spots right on the edge of the path. You can pretty much always find a spot, unless it's super busy for an event, which isn't that frequent. I love the view of the lake that you get from pretty much any spot around this path. There's always a great view and it really helps break things up from the monotony of City Life. Overall: A+ A gorgeous view, plenty of parking all the way around the lake, add a large path for both biking and walking. I love this location and I have more 5Ks coming up this year! read more

I recently found Harbor Park at Lake Baldwin. The park has a lake view, benches, a dock and a gazebo. There are so many restaurants, Tactical Brewing and Cafe 906 right there on the same street. It would be a nice park for exercising or to visit after lunch. read more

Just another beautiful place to unwind and relax in Baldwin Park. What is not to like about watching the sunrise or sunset over Baldwin lake? My one word description is "great". Whether you snag a park bench, toss a blanket on the grass or hang a hammock from the palm trees this is a great place to be with your sweetie and/or a sweet treat. (Seriously though...I was just a little bit jealy of the couple in the hammock...why didn't I think of that??) It is simple a nice and serene place to be - read a book, go for a walk (jog or skate, etc.) or just take it all in while watching children play or the small ripples in the lake from feeding fish or wading birds. With plenty of gratis parking nearby, I highly recommend stopping by this park - you may not want to leave. read more

There is a very nice walkway along a beautiful lake, in this zen-like planned community. The area is so pristine, it seems a bit unreal. Not one blade of grass was out of place and even the birds were well organized and properly groomed. Personally, I would have preferred a little more chaos since nature comes that way in the real world. Nevertheless, this is a pleasant place for a stroll. read more

I love Harbor park! This is the part of Baldwin Park where the big fountain at the end of New Broad hits the two-sided stairs that lead down to the 2 docks. You can fish off the docks, stroll out to watch the sunrise or sunset, or just enjoy the beautiful scenery of Baldwin Park. On a Friday or Saturday night, it's usually crowded with families, date-night couples, and groups of friends. It's just a great place to grab some food and a fro-yo and hang out! read more

Harbor Park - Sunrise over Harbor Park - Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Gorgeous, gorgeous park at the epicenter of Downtown Baldwin Park. If I lived closer I would take advantage of this beautiful area to walk my dogs. This is a great place to just hang out and catch the sunrise/sunset , walk your pups, bike, run, etc! There is also 2 separate piers would I think would be just gorgeous for weddings or even engagement/ family photos! Such a picturesque area. There is also a trail that you can walk/run that will lead you to Fleet Peeples Dog Park. Amazing little spot that I tend to forget about. I'm a fan! read more

Harbor Park - Parks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

What a tranquil place. I was really glad that I had a little bit of time to spend here on my short trip to Orlando. I really liked the view of the lake, I walked around quite a bit. There's a small pier where I saw an old man fishing, a huge open grassy area; it was late evening so there weren't many people there but, I can see it being a really active place on a nice warm weekend. You really must check this place out if you're in the area, peaceful serenity, especially at sunset... probably sunrise too. #SYOY read more

With beautiful paths for cyclists, pedestrians and four legged friends, this picturesque park sits on Lake Baldwin and is easily accessible from the the village center. It's a great place to stroll along while taking in views of the lake and surrounding communities, or a wonderful place to sit and relax on one of the many benches with a coffee or a frozen yogurt from one of the nearby businesses. There are two piers which are great for taking pictures or doing a little fishing. You can even rent the piers for weddings and other events (according to their website). Take a stroll into the village and rent a bike for the day at the bike shop! read more

Day or night, I love this place. Found it by "accident" a few years back and I have dreamt of having an loft or small apartment here. Very upscale, but also family friendly with restaurants, shops and a Publix --- of course ---- for groceries and a CVS. Two piers/docks make it a great place to feel the breeze or feed the ducks. You have to check this place out "accidentally" for yourself. read more

2.5 miles scenic route around the lake perfect for running or biking!

We are fans of Harbor Park. It's located on Lake Baldwin along with two other solid parks, Fleet Peoples & Lake Baldwin Park. It's really close to Seito Sushi and all the other restaurants and shops in the main part of Baldwin Park. It's a great people watching spot and there are plenty of places to sit while taking it all in. Good park to relax and watch sunsets as you can tell from the main picture. Lots of runners jog around the lake and through this park throughout the day. Overall, it's not huge acreage wise but it's worthy of at least four stars when it comes to parks. read more

There are few places in Baldwin Park as relaxing at sitting here and enjoying the breezes. There are two piers to fish from and a bike trail that goes around the lake. If you are hungry, there are several nearby eateries and a Publix supermarket. There is no charge for parking. read more
