Lake Adair Park

A Serene Pocket of Nature

Situated in Orlando's College Park neighborhood, Lake Adair Park offers a modest yet charming escape from city life. This small public park hugs the shoreline of Lake Adair, a 24-acre freshwater space that anchors the surrounding residential community.

At about 2 acres, this urban green space isn't trying to compete with Orlando's larger attractions - instead, it excels as a peaceful retreat where you can reconnect with nature without leaving the city limits.

What You'll Find Here

The heart of the park experience is the walking path that winds around Lake Adair, offering pretty views of both the water and the historic homes dotting the opposite shore. The path follows a charming brick road that's perfect whether you're in the mood for a casual stroll, a morning jog, or a leisurely bike ride.

You'll spot benches strategically placed along the route - perfect spots to pause, catch your breath, and take in the scenery. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the park's wildlife, from the various birds that call this place home to the occasional small alligator you might glimpse in the lake (from a safe distance, of course).

Things to Do

The tranquil atmosphere makes Lake Adair Park a favorite among locals for simple pleasures: walking, jogging, bird watching, or trying your luck with fishing. Some people have had good success catching fish in the clear lake waters.

While the walking trail doesn't completely loop around in certain sections where it intersects with traffic areas, it still provides a pleasant outdoor experience for anyone looking to enjoy a bit of nature.

Historic Neighborhood Setting

Part of what gives the park its unique character is its location in the historic College Park district. The well-preserved early 20th-century architecture surrounding the park adds a layer of charm you won't find at newer developments.

Though it may not be the largest park in Orlando, Lake Adair Park provides a nice space for community gatherings and offers a natural oasis within the urban landscape.
