This park is pretty large with ample free parking and lots of walking paths. They are known for their 18-hole disc golf courses and my husband has enjoyed playing here on several occasions. They also have paintball, a skate park, BMX tracks, a dog park, indoor gym with a fitness center, basketball courts, tennis courts, sand volleyball courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, and even a lakefront boat ramp with fishing access. There's always some kind of an event happening in the skate park area which is fun to watch. This park truly has it all!

There's also a pier where you can watch turtles and fish, which my children absolutely love every time we visit. If you enjoy being active, there's a scenic trail that's great for walking, running, or biking. The park also features basketball and baseball courts, picnic shelters for BBQs and birthday parties, clean restrooms, and plenty of parking spread throughout the different areas, making it easy to access everything. The real highlight of the park, though, is its tennis complex. Even though I don't personally use it, it's clearly the centerpiece of the park, with more than 10 tennis courts, excellent facilities, kids taking lessons, and tournaments happening regularly. If you're a tennis fan or looking to get into the sport, this is one of the best public places in the area. Overall, it's a fantastic park for families, sports lovers, or anyone looking to spend a relaxing day outdoors.

There are several courts in good condition, including a pro shop and group pavilion. There are a few other picnic pavilions, clean restrooms, baseball field, and basketball court. There is also a playground and mini exercise area. Although not found designated as MTB on most apps, the park has an easy perimeter trail that is good for off-road/pavement cycling. It can be slightly challenging if only for some sandy stretches here and there, but generally a light workout. There are also some side trails as well as several other paved trails to ride on as well.

There's a huge ditch next to it so just be sure to keep a careful eye on your children. The best part is that it is shaded! yay!

At least parking was free. I only went to the venue area near the city hall, which was spacious and very clean. I didn't go to the lake area, but it looked nice and I think you can fish there as well. I think there was a playground too, but it was a while since I last remembered. I do like the fountain in the pond not to far from city hall. While I only visited this park for an event, it looks to be a nice park to walk near the lake, go fishing, or playing in the field. Overall: B+

This was my second time visiting this park for the Ocoee MUSIC Festival. Last year we had Joan Jett…read moreand Night Ranger headlining the show. This time around it was the Los Lonely Boys and Bret Michaels. The City of Ocoee, Dan Newlan, and all of the other sponsors kick ass for putting this event on for free. If you're planning on coming, definitely get here early. The first band usually goes on around 6pm. I arrived at 4pm and it took me 30 minutes to park once pulling in off Hwy 50. There is a ton of police presence and volunteers available to keep things in order. There is a designated handicap parking area and staff will escort you to the nearest walkway via golf cart if you need assistance. If you get there early enough you can park your chair right up in front of the stage. Just know that once the headliner comes on people from the back will push their way up. The food and drinks are reasonable. I bought a 20 oz Kona beer for $6, bottled water was $2, bottled soda for $3, and a big bag of kettle corn for $8. There are plenty of other food vendors available selling items such as pizza, corn dogs, funnel cakes, sausage and peppers, arepas, empanadas, chicken on a stick, and more. There is a carnival section in the back where you can play games and ride some smaller type ride. The restroom situation is pretty good. There are plenty of clean Porto-lets available. I've never had to wait to use one and they were kept clean throughout the evening. The only downfall is there is no actual hand washing station outside of the portlets it's just a hand sanitizer station, so bring some handy wipes with you. The rules for the event state that you can't bring in a cooler but I seen many people bringing soft coolers. I carried in several bottles of water and a bag full of snacks and nobody gave me any trouble. If you're close enough to your car you can always just leave the cooler in your car and go back to it throughout the day for meals if you're trying to save some cash. The park itself is beautiful and spacious, it sits right off of beautiful Lake Starke. There are several walking paths but I couldn't tell you how far they go. Even though it was blazing hot out there was always a cool breeze going down the slope of the park past the stage and towards the lake. I highly recommend coming to Bill Breeze park for the Ocoee music festival or just to come to relax. This park is really nice and worth the visit.

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.
