Finishing off the parks around College Park, I discovered that I missed one close to Downtown Orlando. I returned to the area around my last adventure to see what Colonialtown Square was like. Colonialtown Square is a peaceful place that showcases an event that is now deeply connected to Orlando. Though it has been a couple years, the scars left
As promised, I visited Albert Park. Situated right in the middle of downtown College Park, there is plenty to see here. As it was better to visit during the day, I chose to explore it separate from my downtown adventure. Albert Park makes up for its small size with plenty of relaxing spaces. College Park is not as large as
I wanted to do something different. Rather than explore a park by day, I went to Downtown College Park at night for a completely new experience. When the sun goes down, all the city lights come on. Downtown College Park has a night life all its own. While Downtown Orlando is an extremely wacky place to be on a Friday
Located on the bank of Lake Concord I found my next nearby park. Don Dudley Park looks a lot like many other places I have explored. But was there anything different to distinguish it?

After exploring the outskirts and surrounding areas, I finally made my way to Lake Ivanhoe Park. Sadly, I ran into a couple challenges that made exploration more difficult. The first area of Lake Ivanhoe Park was blocked off when I arrived. I am not sure what was going on, but there was heavy police activity at the park itself. There
After my not so great adventure last time, I moved on to another nearby complex of parks. I started with Gaston Edwards Park. Let’s see what I discovered. Gaston Edwards Park sits on the east bank of Lake Ivanhoe. Thanks in part to multiple roads and Interstate 4, the lake itself is divided up into sections. And each of these
Right across the street from my last couple adventures, sits Lake Rowena Park. Though compared to Loch Haven Park, there is not too much to see, it is still worth a visit. Located right next to Mills Avenue (State Roads 17 and 92) this park is nestled near the Andrews Causeway. There are multiple areas to sit and relax near
Lake Highland Park is the first of multiple areas along the Orlando Urban Trail. While I really started at the southern end of said trail, I want to make sure to give some focus to the park right beside it. The Urban Trail: Before focusing on Lake Highland Park, let’s talk about the Urban Trail. The Orlando Urban Trail begins
Before I go explore another trail near downtown Orlando, I needed to complete one more task. I walked into Park Lake, which is not Lake Park by the way. Let’s see what I found. It has been a long time since I explored a park centered around a lake. But that drought has come to an end. The lake pictures
After a couple detours, I finally returned to finish an earlier project. Today let us see what I found on my return to Lake Underhill Path. I began the return to Lake Underhill Path by starting at the other end of Lake Underhill Park. The first part of this journey was to go underneath Toll Road 408 again. This marks
