Hourglass park is situated between two parts of a lake that is in the shape of the name. Hourglass Lake itself is secluded in a neighborhood right near Curry Ford Road (State Road 552) and Ferncreek Avenue. I decided to check out what ended up being the smallest park I have seen for this travel blog. Hourglass Park really is

Not far from Orlando International Airport sits a massive recreational complex. I wanted to check out Southport Community Park for the sake of Pokemon Go, as well as personal curiosity.

Admin/ December 28, 2018/ Travel

For those who play Pokemon Go in the Orlando region, Cranes Roost Park hardly needs an introduction. For those uninitiated, this park is around a massive lake in Altomonte Springs Florida. However, despite almost every park I have visited so far also being set around a lake, this area is different for many reasons from the rest. Let’s talk about

Exploring the World With Pokemon Go: Leroy Hoequist Park

Admin/ December 27, 2018/ Travel

Just to the east of La Costa Wetlands, the very first park I explored in this travel blog sits another. And these two areas could not be much different if they tried. Much more open and with signs of civilization all around it, one would not beleive that Leroy Hoequist Park could be so near to an isolated marsh. It

Admin/ December 25, 2018/ Travel

Today is Christmas Day and that means most of the parks are closed. However, I managed to find one that lacked a gate to close it.

Admin/ December 23, 2018/ Travel

After yesterday’s failed experiment, I decided to go somewhere extra special to make up for it. And I decided on the Lake Eola Park Christmas Event.  I plan to go to Lake Eola Park a second time even though I partially explored today.  This is due to two factors.  The first was that due to the massive density of people,

Exploring the World With Pokemon Go: Fort Gatlin Recreation Complex

Admin/ December 22, 2018/ Travel

Located near South Bumby Avenue and Lake Margaret Drive, Fort Gatlin Recreation Complex sits and Pokemon Go demanded I take a look. In so far, I have avoided recreation centers since it is difficult to fully explore them.  Today I decided to test to see if that was true. Unfortunately, my hypothesis about most of the area being off limits

Exploring the World With Pokemon Go: Lake Underhill Park

Admin/ December 18, 2018/ Travel

Lake Underhill Park is a place that many in Orlando are aware of but have not visited.  Anyone who has driven on Toll Road 408 towards downtown Orlando going westbound has crossed the long bridge.  If you live here you know the one.  The park is right alongside this lake, and part of my exploration today took me right alongside
