The Jewel in the Center of Downtown
by torque9
Lake Eola is the centerpiece in the revitalization of Downtown Orlando. With a Large center lake that has an amazing fountain, swan boat rentals, and plenty of Ducks and actual swans calling Lake Eola home, it's a must see for a relaxing evening or casual weekend. This park is excellent for a romantic stroll overlooking the illuminated fountain at night, or a casual run or walk around the lake. Look into attending "Shakespeare in the Park" plays at Lake Eola's amphitheater, or bring the children to the playground. After walking around quench you thirst or feed you appetite at the great restaurants that overlook the park.
- Pros: Swan Boat Rides, Run/Walk Path, Annual Plays or Music
- Cons: Limited Parking

As it should be
by GLHush
Lake Eola Park was designed to allow locals a great down town venue. Teir mission was accomplished!! It's a great place to take the family for a day and the festivals are great. Personally, I find myself go there alone quite often to walk around the lake or just laying in the grass listening to the fountain.
- Pros: well planned, great festivals
- Cons: parking
