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.

We had a free Saturday with perfect weather and wanted a great spot to take our son -- this park delivered in every way. Just a stone's throw from downtown Winter Garden, it's a hidden gem connected to the West Orange Trail, ideal for bike rides, stroller walks, or just a peaceful stroll under the shaded trees. The park itself is spotless and beautifully maintained, with plenty of open space and a relaxing atmosphere. It's a little big for our son right now, but we found a baby swing he loved, and exploring the mini garden with its pond and waterfall was such a nice touch. You can tell this park was thoughtfully designed for both kids and parents to enjoy. We'll definitely be returning for years to come as our son grows -- it's the kind of place that makes you want to spend all day outside. If you're looking for a true oasis in the heart of Winter Garden, strap on your helmet and ride over to this beautiful park! ‍
