Lake Eola Park

You can find the Eol Lake Park, from 1888 when the land was donated to the city, in downtown Orlando. The highlight of the park is Lake Eola, a 10-hectare body of water with a perimeter of nearly 1.5 kilometres that has an iconic fountain in the centre, about 75 feet deep. The lake is bordered by a pedestrian and cyclist track. At night, the fountain is truly spectacular and the downtown skyscrapers give a magical touch to the park. On the perimeter of the park is the Walt Disney Amphitheater where, every April, there is a Shakespearean festival. Watch how the swans nest and swarm in the park.
