    I have always loved this park. Although very popular (and for good reason), it has many nooks and crannies to explore that have so much character. There are also a couple of bars and restaurants super close-by or practically right on the water for dinner and drinks. Plenty of art is also scattered throughout the park that can be observed and admired. It is an excellent place to people watch, to enjoy the birds and wildlife, or to go running (or walking) miles around the lake that are approximately equivalent to one mile. If you run out of things to do there, try going to a play at the amphitheater, going riding on a Lime or other electric scooter around the side streets, or go paddle boating on the swan boats. There are even plenty of special events like fireworks and farmers markets that can be attended. While you have all the above mentioned, everything is tucked inside a stunning city skyline, right in the center of town. The park is accessible from most parts of traditional downtown Orlando. It is also affiliated with Disney. That means it will continue to be family friendly, well-manicured, maintained, as well as give the public access to bountiful events entertainment for all ages.

    Awesome park to walk around if you enjoy bird-watching. The ducks, geese, and swans aren't afraid of people, so you can observe them up close. There are also dispensers where you can get bird food for a quarter.

    Beautiful park downtown Orlando. Plenty of parking. Lots of bathrooms. Very nice playground. Feels safe with the family. Have been here several times in the last few weeks. Food truck events and vegan festival and other festivals. Parking garage nearby. Ride the swans on the lake or rent electric scooters!

    Nice park to wall on downtown Orlando, a great break from the theme parks. Besides the walk around the lake, there are several restaurants and a microbrewery, plus swan rides and the Walt Disney amphitheatre. Amenities are available for free and are very clean. Street parking is available, but hard to get at busy hours and paid parking is a good alternative.

    Lake Eola Park is a wonderful place to visit. There are six sculptures around the park that are fascinating. The swans are beautiful to see with several different species and each with their own history. This place is fun for ages toddler to adult. The Swan Peddle Boats are a great way to get out on the Lake and visit the island filled with other birds. The Walt Disney Amphitheater bandshell has been painted in pride colors to honor those lost in the Pulse Nightclub tragedy.

    It was recommended to go see the fountain at Enola Lake. The fountain was beautifully lit with a rainbow of lights reflecting off the water. There is a walkway around the lake. I didn't see it during the day, but the lights at night are beautiful! Around the lake the buildings were brightly lit with rainbow colors completing the lively atmosphere!

    Really pretty park with lots of bird wildlife. The swan boat ride was fun. It's nice to go for walks around the lake, especially. Sunsets are super neat here as well.

    Nice clean park with lots of shade. Dog friendly for leashed pets. Came here today for kids fest. Although the park itself was nice there wasn't much for kids fest. 3 bounce houses (not the water kind) and some food trucks and stands selling stuff. Nice but there could have been so much more.

    Nice downtown park with a farmers market on the weekends. Lots of good food and items to choose from at the farmers market. Everyone is friendly and it’s a great place for dogs on a leash. Seeing the swans is a big hit too.

    I would say this was one of the best and most beautiful downtown parks. Visited twice before in the last 6 years when vacationing in Orlando with family. Was very impressed and also relaxing in the past. However today I took my family to visit this park again. I would say I felt kind of stressed and concerned as it looked many weird people hanging around this park. Not feeling safe to my family in my view. One weird stranger even directly approached to my niece (20+) and my daughter (10+) when they rested at a seat and even followed them for a while when they walked away at feeling not safe. I was close-by and fortunate to join them and stop that person from following. The park is still extremely beautiful as usual anyway. Personally I would suggest taking extra caution if to go during your vacation. Thus rated 3 stars out of 5 for any visitors’ attention.

    Went on a Sunday when multiple vendors were out throughout the park. Wonderful area to walk with many sights to see, and things to do. Rode the paddle boats, ate at World of Beers (try the Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese dipping sauce) and just enjoyed the scenery all around. Beautiful way to spend a relaxing day at the park.

    Very pleasant to walk and see birds and squirrels. The sunset was amazing when I went. Will come again soon.

    What a nice park with very cool views, I would think parking might be a problem we hit it with luck and got a spot right on the road near the playground area. They have a nice play area for the kids, there was a lot of really cool water foul around to see and take pictures of. Just a nice place to stop and spend a few minutes in the outdoors.

    I don’t live in the area, but when traveling especially with my dog I try to come here. It’s a beautiful urban setting! If you come on Sunday there is an arts market and food trucks! There are large swans, geese, ducks, alcohol available nearby, brunch. parking isn’t perfect but it’s never been too bad. People are very friendly here. I haven’t seen a mean person anywhere! Very diverse area. I have seen yoga, meditation, plants, candy, fruit, crafts, outfits, jewelry, sweets for humans and pets in the last year and plan to come back soon!
