This is a very nice place in Downtown Lakeland, with nice restaurants around it, specially Harrys Bar and Grill where food is first class food at good prices. The area architecture is old and every thing has recently been restored. There is a lake with ducks and swans two blocks away from this square ( park ) with an old romantic Italian style look with lovely gardens around. The tranquility of this area worth the visit to Downtown Lakeland.

One of my favorite places in the whole State of Florida, the Park and Downtown Lakeland in General; neat, sweet, chill, good vibes, nostalgic feelings of the sweet 80s & 90s. Great for Families, and a friendly place

Went to the Market yesterday for the first time. It was nice to see people back out doing things and selling their food and crafts. I took my elderly mom there and she was able to sit on a bench while we walked around a while but I felt a bit uncomfortable because there were a lot of homeless people there in the park and a poster with the face of a stalker on the window of a store...more should be done to clean up the area.

Munn Park is beautiful. The only thing that scared me was watching the police carry homeless people off who fell asleep on the benches and charging them arresting them.. but Mom Park is a beautiful place and the restaurant on the corner divicious is one of the best places Ive ever ate the deli is fantastic the owner is fantastic the workers are great and everything is very safe there I feel.

Nice beautiful area. Lots of events go on year round. Lots of local businesses are al over within walking distance. There are places to sit relax and enjoy the breeze or scenery. The roads and sidewalks are well kept and clean. Cops patrol regularly to give feeling of safety. Lots it do lots to see.

Every First Friday of the month, Lakeland holds a business event. You can come out and see local businesses and what they offer. This one was centered around Aerospace Academy for Excellence Sun n Fun Airshow coming up March 31st. The park is in a great central location. Lots of space, power is available everywhere needed. Plenty of trash receptacles. Most of the local stores around there let you use their restrooms. Nice to just walk around and talk to people.

Pleasant and quiet.This is a major longterm-homeless hangout during the daytime, but they wont bother you. Any panhandling here would cause a person to be permanently trespassed from the park.Its a large square in the center of downtown with benches, tables and chairs, etc. I have never been there when I couldnt find several places to sit. There are large shade trees so you will have your choice of sun or shade.At Christmas time the park is very brightly decorated, and there are many nighttime events throughout the week/month.There are several restaurants right across the park in three directions, and additional restaurants within one or two blocks - walking distance.

Would be a great place to come and sit and enjoy downtown, if it wasnt for all of the homeless taking up and sleeping on all of the benches. Besides that not too bad.

Ahh, Munn Park..... Gone are the days of stargazing and commiserating. It used to be such a great place to think and take in the sounds of downtown. Unfortunately, the place has slowly become the land of the walking dead.Drifters, drug dealers and the disaffected have taken up refuge, fighting over electricity to charge their cellphones using stolen power from the lightposts. Then they sit high on whatever drugs they could buy from their panhandling, using the free internet and stolen power to peruse the social media of their choice. They will steal whatever you leave unattended to pawn off for a few dollars to get their next fix.They lay, flayed out and contorted on the half benches, smelling of booze and BO. But come 8 O Clock, they stumble down to the Lighthouse Ministries to get a free meal and a place to stay. Rinse. Repeat. And do over again.The homeless situation has grown from a minor problem to one that is harming the economic vitality of Lakelands downtown. Despite the more empathetic side of me who wants to help them, I also recognize that this is a much bigger problem than a small community like Lakeland can tackle.Giving them freebies only perpetuates the problem. I ask my fellow Lakelander to stop giving these people money, they are not in need of money, they are in need of institutionalized help.I dont want Lakeland to become the next Seattle, LA or San Francisco.

We had a great time with the family and beautiful weather! The shops were great and so hospitable. We only spent a few hours and had free snacks n drinks from a shop there. I think there are pics but not sure of the name. Lights out for the Shell on 92 n Berkly. Just go next year and see for yourself. We even had a chance to to ride a horse and wagon.

Its OK, not really what it used to be. Although there are many more homeless people there, I can say that they keep to themselves and do not really approach people too often.

A decent place full of homeless people, people who will rob you, pompous wastes of human life, and really annoying teenagers. Watch your back, and look both ways before you cross the street. Munn Park is next to too many bars to count and is a good place to get robbed.

Clean park with lots of open space to run around. Has benches and chairs along parameters. The large fountain on one end helps keep the area cool. Surrounded by businesses and restaurants. Often used by Lakeland for festivals, food truck rallys, car shows, first Friday chamber events, amongst other activities.

Loveman Park and I love all the events that surround them Park. If I could offer some suggestions to the City of Lakeland... I would go get every citrus tree that is grown and farmed in Florida and put those on the North End of the park with plaques. People in Central Florida should understand this is Citrus country and they also need to understand what the trees look like and the value that it brings to Central Florida. I would also ask that the city bring in tables on event nights food truck Thursday theres absolutely no where to sit. You want a great attendance for food truck Thursday for some tables out there City of Lakeland.

Ive been going to Munn park for 31 years. Its always been a lovely place and the center of Lakeland. They have a great Christmas light display, food truck rally, crash shows, farmers markets and the Christmas parade goes by there. As of late they have installed comfortable out door seating. I love downtown and Munn park. But here is an issue. Today my girlfriend and I went and got take out and wanted to eat outside. So we went to Munn Park and we counted 32 homeless people. Taking up all the park benches and all but 2 sets of table and chairs. They left trash around, had their bare feet on the tables. Hell, I watched one brush his teeth in the water fountain and sit all over the ground. Lakeland caters to the homeless and our homeless population is and has been on a constant rise. Its an issue that needs to be dealt with and because of this I give Munn Park a one star review.

Munn Park was a beautiful, and peaceful place. An honored Memorial with flowers, and peaceful shade. In the middle of the park was a confederate memorial that was put in place in 1912 by the wives, and mothers of the Confederate Fallen Soldiers during the Civil War. It was removed on March 22nd, 2019.Now it is just a park. All the flowers are gone.

Went for the monthly food truck fest, it was ok. I miss the statue and feel of history since they removed it. It feels plain and dull now. The food was good, what we tried. The dj was kind enough to play a song for my granddaughter. We may go back but its not the same
