5stars for the park itโs gorgeous, mostly clean, and has enough shade to have a nice sit down picnic and enjoy nature. Itโs always the humans that ruin things though isnโt it? My boyfriend and I came to the park to enjoy our anniversary out in nature, and instead of having a relaxing time we took almost an hour and a half out of our special day, to clean up after someone elseโs. This park is free, and gorgeous. Someone must have had a gender reveal and as I would love to be happy for that family I am ultimately so upset that someone would disrespect such a pretty FREE park. Itโs disgusting to know that family is probably going to pass on these valuesโฆwishing people would respect our home better. Thank you for the opportunity to be able to enjoy a gorgeous day on a budget with a beautiful park free to the public. Hopefully people will respect that and pick up after themselves after using a FREE service to the public. (Iโd like to add the litter was bright blue, very very shiny and plastic, this is a distraction and an attraction to MANY wildlife in the area. Most animals can see this, eat this, and then die. This was not a biodegradable type of trash, and it could have done a number of damage on...
ย ย ย Read moreSmall scenic park on the shores of Lake Maitland in Orlando. Established in 1938, it remains one of the most beautiful spots for a walk or relaxation. The garden is especially stunning in March, when azaleas and camellias bloom, filling the air with color and fragrance. One of the main attractions is the white egrets, which nest and raise their chicks in the trees during this time (March). The open green spaces and towering cypress trees create a serene atmosphere, while the lake views make it a perfect place for photos and romantic strolls. At the heart of the garden is a majestic colonnade, often used for weddings and special events. The park is free to enter and open from morning until evening. A few downsides: the parking lot is small, so finding a spot can be tricky, especially on weekends. The restroom, located at the Rollins College Yacht Club, is not always open, which can be inconvenient...
ย ย ย Read moreWhat a beautiful park ๐ฅฐthe trees are absolutely amazing. I could stay here forever just staring at the scenery. There are paved paths all through the park that is located by the water. The park is located deep inside a beautiful neighborhood that has some historical homes. There were numerous people here the day I went but it is so big it didnโt feel crowded. Everyone was respectful of space and noise. I only have two complaints about this place and that is lack of parking (very limited, like maybe 20 spots, unless there was more we missed) and only port a potties. This make it so very difficult to find a space to park and stay a long time. Perfect place for a picnic or a romantic walk. The people that live here are very blessed to have such a beautiful park in their neighborhood. There was 10 groups taking professional portraits here this day, thatโs how...
