Mayor Carl T. Langford Park — Attraction in Orlando

The park itself is beautiful, there are a few playgrounds & nice grassy areas to enjoy. However, as a parent this park is not exactly ideal. To start, it is EXTREMELY dog friendly, in the short time we were there we saw a handful of aggressive breeds. Most notably, an elderly couple had a young pit bull that was dragging them around (The gentleman was literally walking with the assistance of a walking stick) the dog was clearly untrained & ended up attacking another dog. Of course, the frail old lady couldn’t control the dog or help at all in the situation. It’s really a shame that people choose to have these dogs & make them EVERYONE ELSE’S PROBLEM.

A large park located in a central area of the city. Lots of greenery and extensive, paved walkways that meander over a bridge, through winding (manmade) creeks, and a few swaths of plants on the way. Lots of trees and a small boardwalk system near the event space that is fun to walk but unfortunately littered with trash. The events facility has a small playground attached which is nice for little littles. Overall, there are many pavilions throughout the park with grills that are ready to use. Beautiful area in general. I could see these pavilions used for a baby or toddler birthday party easily. I would definitely recommend this park as an addition to your daily...
