Did not get to spend the time I wanted to on this trip. When I finally found parking and walked over the first thing I heard was an announcement that lightening had been detected in the area and all swan boats needed to come in. Rats! I wanted to ride the swan boat. I have seen the devastation lightening does and I want no part of it. None. I snapped a few pictures and left but have plans to go back in two weeks and will write a more detailed review on my experience. The little I did get to see, I liked a lot. People walking their dogs, people walking holding hands, ducks and swans walking and swimming. Very pretty setting. Nice big trees to keep you cool in the heat (or to be struck by lightning, yikes!) Swan boats are $15 for 30 minutes (that’s a bargain). Must be rented 30 minutes before they close at 7:00 p.m. Parking was a challenge. Maybe I missed a parking lot but do not park where you shouldn’t or you will be fined. I’ll pass on that. More to come.

First time and I must say it was a really nice experience. From the different small business stands to the bomb coffee and bomb food. The swans were so pretty. This is a nice market to visit for sure. I had thirsty husky coffee must try! & egg dos 🙂 nice nature walk around lake as well. Dog friendly . If you havent been you must go!

I recently moved to downtown Orlando and Lake Eola Park has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The park has such a beautiful view, especially at night when everything is lit up it feels magical. There’s a nice trail to walk or jog around, with plenty of benches to sit and relax. I love watching all the ducks, swans, and wildlife, it makes the park feel so peaceful at the same time it’s the perfect place to clear your head, enjoy nature, or just take in the scenery. Definitely one of Orlando’s gems!
