A beautiful find in the heart of downtown Orlando. This park on the shore of Lake Ivanhoe is a nice place to visit in the evening. There is a small play are for children, a big deck on the lake and a nice grassy area for picnics. Across the street you will find a German bakery with delicious varieties of German breads, pastries and other goodies. The potato salad is delicious. There are bars, restaurants and my favorite record store Rock and roll heaven. Antique stores are abundant, so you can walk the park, browse through the stores, quench your thirst or get your fill of delicious food all within walking distance.

Cute park, especially at night. Theres fair amount of parking for patrons as well. Only con is a view of I4, but still doesnt take away the view of the lake.

Nice place! DO NOT, use the first 3 or 4 spots. You will get a ticket, $37. And, they will not bend, even if you plead.(jerk) but all the other spots, are fine to park.

Peaceful park near lake Ivanhoe just off the road. Has a nice playground and exercise trail. Ducks, geese, and swan are frequent visitors. Lots of shade and good food nearby. There is a boat ramp here as well. You will often find people out on the lake canoeing, boating, and paddle boarding. Plenty of good places to eat just across the street as well!
