I love that they have bathrooms on site and are actually clean lol-- so big plus there! Also I appreciated that the play ground had this squishy bouncy floor that is great for kids running or babies playing-- I believe it helps to prevent injury. This really is a great park! My two cons: the huge lack of shaded areas, and they had a few water fountains but the water was hot and dirty/cloudy looking. And bring in Florida, shade and water are two of the most important things in my opinion lol-- so just be prepared.

IMMACULATE bathrooms lol I was honestly surprised because public restrooms are usually bad or just okay, but these look and smell like they are sprayed down daily with chlorine/cleaner. There is also a Skate Park next to the soccer fields. 2 parking lots, paved paths, and a small fenced drainage area where you can occasionally see ducks and alligators.

I found it by accident and decided to stop in with my grandson. You have to park on a side street because the streets surrounding the park have no parking signs. The park has several basketball courts, skate park, playground, swing sets and areas for volleyball, racquetball and soccer. During my visit only two small children were playing in the entire park so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. In the playground area they have a sign displayed stating that the area is for ages 5 to 12 yrs. I felt like there was lots of save space for younger children under supervision. There is a picnic area with some seating and a grill. Dogs are allowed on a leash. I did not see a waste station or disposable bags.

There are restrooms, a play ground, a few different docks, an amphitheater for outdoor concerts & events, picnic pavilions, a snack bar, and more. I especially love the walking path that goes along the lake, and my daughter and I like to spot gators in the water or sunning themselves on land. Last time we were here we saw gators, raccoons, squirrels, the cutest wild bunnies and a variety of large & small birds including roseate spoonbills. There are plenty of benches along the path and it's really nice to be able to sit down and watch the view and the wildlife. V

Did you know that one of Orlando's best outdoor recreational areas was once a thriving orange…read moregrove? Today, Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake is a 183 acre park where families, fishermen, campers, bird watchers, and nature lovers can enjoy a break outdoors that makes you feel a world away from the nearby tourist attractions. This property once contained more than 2,000 citrus trees before the City of Orlando purchased the land in the 1970s under Mayor Carl Langford. It officially opened as Turkey Lake Park in 1978 with the mission of conserving land in its natural state for residents as Orlando's tourism industry rapidly expanded. In 1981, many of the remaining orange trees were relocated to make room for a campground featuring RV sites and cabins. The park was renamed Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake in 2004 to honor former Orlando Mayor Bill Frederick for his commitment to preserving Orlando's natural spaces. Along with former Mayor Glenda E. Hood, he helped ensure the beauty of this park would be preserved for future generations. Today, the park is the City of Orlando's largest community park. Turkey Lake is considered one of Florida's top rated fishing lakes, making it a popular destination for anglers. Beyond the lake, there are miles of walking and biking trails, shaded picnic areas, playgrounds, fitness stations, sand volleyball courts, a seasonal swimming pool, boat rentals, a dedicated drone flying area, disc golf, and numerous pavilions for gatherings. The campground offers RV sites and cabins for overnight excursions surrounded by nature. Admission is a nominal $5 per vehicle or $2 for a single occupant, making it one of the best recreational values in Orlando. Come for a picnic, to swim, cast a line, visit the rescue animals, or hike the trails as I enjoyed doing. Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake is a reminder that Orlando offers more than just theme parks. I am so glad that the former mayors of Orlando had he foresight to preserve this slice of Florida's natural landscape where you never know what you might discover.

There are several facilities available including pavilions, grills, disc golf volleyball, playgrounds, swimming, fishing, and even a drone course. There's a bike path, a nature path and a small animal farm where you can see a turkey, chickens, and maybe a variety of other animals. There are cabins (assuming for rent) and a spot for small RVs and trailers. The park includes several restrooms which are very clean. The disc golf course is extensive and likely a bit difficult as it meanders through several wooded areas and even one hole across the water. The park has several pavilions varying in size. Most have parking nearby, however several will require you to hoof your goods a little distance. This is a great place for a family or larger gathering. Two dollar entry fee. Dogs allowed on leash and there are several pet sanitary stations.

When my wife when to the lady up front to claim all of this , the lady in front didn't cooperate for refund, only stating "umm well they only tell me what to charge and everyone pays here!" Like are you serious? And we demanded to speak to the owner and she didn't want to call the owner , but only handed over 2 complimentary vouchers for next time! It's a matter of principle and we were owed $12 bucks yes not a big deal but it's all about ethics! Like why don't you guys go on and skate your way out of here cuz the only track they got is robbing people. Truly awful and looks like they got more reflecting to do based on their service

Yes, you did hear me correctly... they have an ice skating rink here! Enter into the "Do you wanna build a snowman?" area and you'll find real ice everywhere along with buckets and shovels to help gather the snow. Make sure to be careful though (and watch your little ones) because the ice and snow are quite slippery. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oakens-frozen-funland-orlando#KyYKeJTFx5ECbo7-LqJxyQ If you want to try your hand (or feet, I should say) at ice skating, there is a $10 fee to do so which gives you 30 minutes on the ice. This fee includes skates, gloves, and a helmet. Skating is first come first serve and is open until 6pm. bookmarks folder "News" The workers come out every now and then with a small zamboni to remove the grooves and smooth the ice. I saw this done once and just afterwards, a couple of Arendelle citizens (a young man and woman) come out on the ice and skated for approximately 10 minutes. They are professional skaters and they skate along as a pair to some of the popular songs from Frozen. This is not listed in any of the guides, etc. Imagine my surprise when they hit the ice! I was excited to be there while this was going on. It was great to be able to watch! I absolutely love watching figure skating. You'll also find Olaf's snack stand inside here. Lots of yummy goodies! They have three different kinds of cupcakes: Elsa (white cake w/ buttercream icing) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oakens-frozen-funland-orlando#RlLfcPBcxh9DGIGMgQu6aA Anna (chocolate cake w/ buttercream icing) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oakens-frozen-funland-orlando#wVcDAPSmia-udBcAHUrQig and Olaf (carrot cake with cream cheese icing) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oakens-frozen-funland-orlando#NvGcUD3IKZAoFb-Rr2jgew Sprinkled on top of all three cupcakes are tiny edible snowflakes. There's a stick thing in the top of the Elsa and Anna cupcakes with their photos on them and at first I thought it was plastic and you just pulled it out. I laid it on my plate, but I kept touching it and it appeared to be smearing some. I asked my husband if it was edible. He said it was plastic. I told him I thought it was edible. He said, "Well, I'm not going to bite into it and break a tooth." So, after inspecting it some more, I finally gave it a slight bite and what do you know? It was white chocolate! Surprise! The one on top of the Anna cupcake is also white chocolate. I did take a photo of Olaf's cupcake, but I can't for the life of me remember if he is white chocolate or a marshmallow or what. I did hear people raving about how good the carrot cake cupcake is. Also, I really enjoyed my Elsa cupcake. The cake was perfectly moist and the buttercream was just the right amount of sweet without being over-powering. The cupcakes I had definitely can go neck and neck with some of the best cupcakes I've had from legit cupcake shops! They are also big; I had to eat mine with a fork. Also at the snack stand, you'll find a very special Olaf plastic cup which comes filled with a blue raspberry slushie http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oakens-frozen-funland-orlando#pUj-qdsNY34SvHoVJxcHoA SO GOOD! These cups are pretty awesome too. Because of the size of them and the way they are shaped (the lid also snaps on nice and tightly), we've been bringing them into the Parks empty (we have three of them) with cans or bottles of Pepsi. You can get free cups of ice at any QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) Stands and we've been pouring the ice into the Olaf cups for our Pepsi. Saves some $$ on buying Disney drinks, let me tell ya! I just wish you could get them refilled with the blue raspberry slushie at a discounted price. That's why we've ended up with three of the things... we can't get enough of the slushies.
