Lake Eola Park

1 of 3

Lake Eola Park, which borders Downtown Orlando, is a favorite destination for locals and tourists. Dominated by the shimmering lake at its heart, it is the ideal spot to rest and unwind, with many outdoor activities and breathtaking views.

The lake and its immediate surroundings, a massive sinkhole, were transformed into a park in the 1880s. While its reflected waters are lovely at any time of day, the famous centennial fountain at its center, which wonderfully lights up at night, is its prominent feature.

Visitors may hire swan-shaped paddleboats, wander along its beautiful trails, and relish in beautiful views of the lake. There are also playgrounds, park seats, and picnic spaces are strewn throughout.
