After visiting two disappointing parks in a row, I was worried that the world was setting me up for a three-peat. But I had high hopes that when I explored Festival Park that this streak would become broken. Lets see what happened. Festival Park is right near the Orlando Executive Airport. With many side streets dividing the park into sets
Today I saw a place called East Orange Park near where East Colonial Drive (State Road 50) and Toll Road 408 cross. I became excited at the prospect of checking out a larger place today given what had occurred yesterday. Sadly, I made a mistake in where I chose once again. It is actually a disservice to say that there
Right next to the Greenwood Cemetery that this area shares its name with sits Greenwood Urban Wetlands. Pleased with what I found at an early urban wetlands park, I set out to explore this one too. To the surprise of no one who is reading this, wetlands are well… wet. Since I love taking pictures of lakes and marshes, here
Mitchell Nutter Park is located right on the edge of Baldwin Park. This well to do neighborhood in Orlando has many places that are incredibly walk-able. I will be focusing multiple areas of this region, but for now lets dive in! Mitchell Nutter Park is split into two areas. A street divides these parts into separate squares. The side I
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. Right off of East Colonial Drive (State Road 50) and Semoran Boulevard (State Road 436) in Orlando, sits a little park by a lake. Its called Millennium Park and has no relation to the
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
Located just north of Toll Road 408 and bordered by the Orlando Executive Airport to the west, I found a park very close to home. Intrigued that such a large area had remained unknown to me, I decided to check it out. Pokemon Go guided me here and I dived in, despite the lack of Pokestops. Park of the Americas
As one drives down Dixie Belle Drive in Orlando Florida to avoid the heavy traffic of nearby Semoran Boulevard, they might stumble upon Barber Park. A combination of hunting for a Trapinch, and living right near by lead me to this place. Let’s explore another park with Pokemon Go. Barber Park has many facilities that are used by those who
Located in the middle of a massive roundabout created by many neighborhood roads and Bumby Avenue in Orlando Florida sits Lake Como as well as the park that shares its name. Downtown Orlando’s commercial district is just blocks away and Toll Road 408 is even closer. Yet even the cars that use the roundabout to get past the lake do
I decided that since Pokemon Go has made me explore the world just to find virtual critters, that I would make use of this time to write about what I found. There are many hidden parks out there just waiting to be discovered. For today’s first post, I decided to venture to a little place not far from where I
