I went to this park for a pioneer event. It is located near Orange avenue and not too far from…read moredowntown. Entrance and parking was free, and was ample during the event. The park is spacious as a saw lots of spaces to walk and play sports. I also saw people play cricket in one of the fields. I think there was a playground, but I didn't pay close attention. I was more focused on the event, which had various vendors and stages showcasing music and pioneer reenactments. They used to have horses that kids (and a kid at heart that's me) can ride during the event, but they didn't have them this year. So, not sure if the park is equestrian friendly. But the park was clean and family friendly. It is a nice free park for sports, events, and family activities.

Opened in 1994, Cypress Grove Park is on a former citrus grove on Lake Jessamine. County Chairman…read moreLinda Chapin who was elected in 1986 worked with area resident Barbara Bozeman to purchase the property for three million dollars before it hit the market in order to create a park. Joe Anglin designed the park to be more passive and appealing to adults as opposed to having more sports amenities like other area Orlando parks. The centerpiece of Cypress Grove is a 1925 two-story Estate House owned by one of the county's earliest tax collectors. The house has been renovated to accommodate weddings, showers, and other private events and the grounds have been landscaped to provide a lovely backdrop for events held on the grounds. . Other amenities in this park include a 1.2 mile loop trail for walking, running, and biking, a playground, picnic pavilions, fishing pier, dog park, sports fields, and restrooms. What stands out for me is how beautiful this park is. Spanish moss drips from oak and flowering crepe myrtle trees that provide shade over the parks walkways. Cypress Grove Park is spotlessly maintained. You can easily see why decades of Orlando families have been drawn to this recreational paradise.

In 1924, they donated eight acres of land along south Lake Conway "in consideration of the sun of $10" to Orange County, establishing the county's first public park. This donation was the foundation for what would later become Warren Park. For decades, this beachfront park offered a spot for folks to gather and visit with family and friends. Wilbur Warren also served as the first park commissioner when the Office of the Park Commissioner was established in 1926. In 1996, a park renovation added a dock for kayaks and paddleboards. Warren Park also has a rental pavilion, tennis and pickleball courts, picnic tables and grills, sand volleyball court, and a playground. A paved 0.3-mile walking path with exercise stations encircles the park. Note that the park is in two pieces. You have to cross the street to reach the smaller waterfront portion of the park. Warren Park is an important recreational resource for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat. The large shade trees are especially lovely but my favorite part might be the scenic lake view. Take the pups for a walk or the kids for play. This family friendly park has something for everyone.

It's still looks as fun as I remember! I'm glad to see it's still in good upkeep!

Southport Park is a wonderful recreational resource for community sports, family gatherings, and walkers and jogger seeking a safe place to exercise. Come out for sports, fitness, and family fun.

I came here to get a nice jog in as the trail is used by cypress creek hs cross country during their season and I can see why.

There are two playgrounds for the little ones , one is covered for the smaller kids with plenty of benches . There are soccer fields and baseball fields which are perfect for weekend sports. It's kinda of crazy as the park is located by driving into the high school so I always thought it was closed during school hours but it's not since it's a public park. It's kept up well and I can't wait for another mid day jog or playground day!

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!

It's always been, and still is, a lovely and peaceful park. Full of exploration, adventure, joy, with so many opportunities for so many types of events, get together, celebrations, etc. We reserved a multi-family sight and with support from the park staff we were able to use the group camp site that had a nice big bone fire ring, which is where we had our celebration. It's was just isolated enough from the rest of the park we were able to listen to music, talk, and go adventuring around a little bit. We're definitely coming back next year! This is the PERFECT park for a campfire, bone fire, lake swimming, and overnight camping.

They have a small community pool, playground, workout equipment, picnic pavilions, and a lot of walking paths. There's tons of parking and, best of all, there's so many beautiful trees. It's the perfect park for settling down with a book because the trees provide so much shade; even at peak sun hours, the canopy keeps things from getting unbearable. I wish they would fix up the water fountain feature, but it looks like it's been out of order for awhile. I love this little neighborhood park and will definitely be back again.
