    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

It is so beautiful here, a sanctuary in the middle of the hustle and bustle of downtown Orlando. I walked around the lake, people watching, enjoying the foliage, the trees, the wildlife, so serene and tranquil. If I lived downtown, I would be here every day. I highly recommend taking a trip here and getting away from the city for a few minutes- you will be glad you did.

At night it is nicely lit with many colors and I believe every hour they have a music and fountain show. There is an amphitheatre, and there were musicians playing for the event. There are a lot of ducks and swans, which can dirty the place because of the feathers and poop. You used to be allowed to feed them food from a small stand, but due to health concerns, it's now banned. There is a playground, but it's for kids only. There are 2 bathrooms area, but it can get dirty occasionally. There are a couple restaurants to enjoy near the park too. A nice park to have a nice walk, job, and exercise. Overall: B

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. It's such a nice park and feels very safe.

    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.

As the name implies, this park is at its peak during azalea season, but don't be discouraged if these colorful blooms are till hidden- there is so much more to discover in this park. Take a walk along the path that meanders under the bridges and around the creek. You'll find tons of special spots where you'll want to pause, take a picture, and enjoy a moment of peace (just thinking about it is putting me in a zen mood!). The park also has a nice stage area which is small, but can be used as a wedding location (I've been a bridesmaid here!). I wouldn't recommend going to the park at night, as it doesn't have lights and can get a bit creepy, but during the day make sure to get your pup on a leash, pack a light lunch, and get ready for the best picnic ever!
