We love to go here for the sunsets! Best view in all of Orlando. Highly recommend if youre looking for a cute area for a picnic or if you need something to do with your kids. Lake Apopka is also known for its gator population, so youll almost ALWAYS see a gator! Check out the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive if you want to see even more!!
This is just a beautiful place. Go early in day, even an overcast day is wonderful and nature will not disappoint. Keep your eyes on the water and it will not disappoint. Keep your ears open and you will hear all kinds of magical sounds. Bring a blanket and a snack if that suits you. Plenty of free parking.
They have upgraded the play ground equipment... You can watch some amazing sunsets on the lake.. it is a place for all ages...
Great views of Lake Apopka. Plenty of room to have a picnic or a BBQ under the gazebo where there are tables and an outdoor grill...Has a long dock over Lake Apopka which today featured lots of birds, turtles, and two small alligators sunning themselves...
Super pretty. The bathrooms were locked.
Love it over there, the park for the kids is great and the walk by the lake is nice. During covid we usually visit and watch the lake sitting in the car. There are plenty of times that no one is around and we take the opportunity to enjoy the view. Too bad that lake Apopka is polluted.
Its always beautiful there today I saw seven Gators anywhere from one foot to about four and a half feet you just have to look very close and not make too much noise and youll see them lots of turtles too and birds, lovely there
Nice place to walk around and stretch your legs and take a look at the lake.
If you like beautiful sunsets, this park has some pretty nice views. The park is very clean and pretty much free of bird activity (geese and ducks that dirty up the grounds - like Lake Eola). Every now and then, you can catch a glimpse of smaller gators and lots of large frogs and turtles.As can be seen from plenty of pics, there is a pretty decent length pier that takes you far enough out into the lake to take pretty impressive pics of the marshlands and sunset.There is plenty of parking on the opposite end of the park, where the kids play area is. Parking closer to the pier has fewer parking spaces.All in all, a decent lakeside park, with great views.
One of the best drive away spots in Orlando.. It’s setup on the gigantic Apopka Lake with a splendid view all around.. Can see water all over the horizon making u wonder about it’s spread.. It’s quite, peaceful and scenic.. Best time to visit is around sunset but an afternoon trip with a group for a frisbee game in the park won’t be a bad idea..
Awesome walk on the edge of lake apopka. Lots of little gators and wildlife
Nice spacious park, playground just got an upgrade and the wildlife near the lake is amazing to see.
Nice. I saw a sign the city was going to be updating the playground. So it will be better when that is done.
I like it, its one of the oldest Orlando record stores still around to this day.
Easy access, fun equipment for my son.
Decent scenery. Water levels are kinda impactful on the scenery, so it might look better some days rather than others
Nice little park on Lake Apopka. Other than the tall stairways in disrepair over 2 canals, its a really nice spot.
Great very pretty so clean and nice play ground.
Nice quiet park good for bird watching, walking a dog or when cooler having a picnic or cookout.
Great family park with tons of wildlife and a great large fishing pier! Full of bass and sunfish. You will also see ducks, birds,. turtles, and Gators! Has a nice playground and plenty of picnic tables and benches to rest and lots of room to run around. Also has a boat ramp and ample parking.
Great place to relax and watch nature.
Easy to access. Plenty of space. Great for kids to play.
Beautiful park. Make sure you bring your bug spray. Sometimes there are parties going on nearby.
Love sunsets here! Great place for photoshoots and capturing nature at its best
Its beautiful if you like nature
This is an amazingly beautiful location! Sunsets are amazing! Just take a look at these pictures!!
Just passing time and wanted to see the sunset 9n the eve of my 50th while waiting on daughter to finish practice. Nice quiet meditation time.
Great park to walk, ttain and play. You can even celebrate birthadays there. They have a playground
Great little spot to look at the lake! Not crowded and clean
Very clean and relaxing place to walk around and get that extra step in. Quiet and peaceful.
Nice park to look at the lake and enjoy some sunshine.
Beautiful view of Lake Apopka, many birds in the early morning hours, all very clean and well kept.
Many alligators loved the baby ones.
Nice place for a short walk by the lake. We seen turtles, alligators and lots of birds. I would bring insect repellent at dusk.
This is a great little park! Its right by Downtown Winter Garden. There are mutiple viewing bridges of the lake, as well as a pier and a boat entrance. There are grassy areas that would be great for a picnic and a covered Pavillion with tables. Theres also a sizable playground for the kids. They had a large sign that had the wildlife you can see and the history of the lake, which was pretty cool! The wildlife was really active. All this said, the park obviously needs some love. There was trash in the lake and around the park, and some of the signs were s scratched and faded that they were unreadable.
Very beautiful park. Lots of wild birds. Loved it.
Beautiful Sunsets, an abundance of wildlife, clean public restrooms, a playground for the kiddies, many opportunities to take beautiful nature photos.
It is an amazing place it is a different world a Piece of heaven.
The park is small, but really pretty. There are docks so you can look at the water, benches along the water, a gazebo a boat launch and more. We didnt stay that long, but it a really nice break in our day. If youre in Winter Garden, Id recommend stopping by. But I wouldnt have driven to Winter Garden just to go there.
I proposed to my wife here perfect sunsets and very clean park. We love it. Especially the long dock!
Very quiet park. The sunset view was really pretty cool
Such a beautiful view. We had picked up food from Danials Philly Cheesesteak and wanted a place to sit and eat.
Beautiful spot on southern side of Lake Apopka! Fun for a walk and watching nature.
Beautiful place to just go sit and think. If you look closely in the water youll see many baby gators, just dont get too close!! Use the zoom feature on your phone
I loved the braodwalk. Very scenic lakeside view and such a relaxing place. Has park area for kids and has event centre too. Tge place was so peaceful and people were reading books to sitting on the lakeside benches. And happening places of winter garden is very nearby too. Loved the calmness and peacefulness of the place.
Its beautiful and perfect for family time
Its a place u can sit in car & watch boats-- birds --- or watch boats launch into the water its nice place to walk around lots of parking place & yes it has restroom area and a place for the children to play too
Great park, it has a EV charging station. Its located on the south side of lake Apopka by Winter Garden. Nice play ground . There is a information board there that tells you the history of lake Apopka and its part in build winter garden. Would have given it a five but they need to fix the dock .
Absolutely love newton park!
Lovely view and an amazing destination to watch the sunset
Great place to live and play.
Great place to visit and walk around the park, and observe the Alligators there.
Good sunset spot.
The park has hidden southern charm and it has wonderful scenic sunsets
This is a beautiful place and quite romantic at the right times. Also when theirs a storm it can make for good photographs. Theirs lots of wildlife all around and be careful of the gators that sometimes come looking for food. Please do not feed them signs are posted. Theirs a boat ramp and a long pier for fishing.
Nice area to walk and relax.
Easily accessible, party venue, beautiful lakeview, playground for little ones
So nice But Amazon needs to spend some of their money to clean it up
Stunning sunsets, perfect picnic spot, clean and neat
Beautiful park, nice board walk pier to lake. Lots of wild life. Dont feed the alligators!
Great places to relax and walk around
Turtles, alligators, unique birds all can be seen on a short walk from the parking lot over to the dock. There is a boat launch into Lake Apopka. Little simple playground thats mainly for toddlers. My 9 and 10 year old were not entertained. Beautiful view of the lake. Great place for a sunset stroll when the weather cools down.
Nice and quiet park
Peaceful and serene, overlooking Lake Apopka with adequate parking, a walking trail and a playground for the little ones. Unfortunately, I still dont feel like the lake is safe enough to go in to.
It is re developing wonderfully
Terrific place to see birds and sunsets!
Good atmosphere, very nice vibe and not smelly.
Went to to fish caught nothing out of 4 hours.
Love the Sunsets! Also, the Easter sunrise service was greatly appreciated.(lead by Epiphany Church)
Beautiful park that has some wonderful wildlife
Very nice quiet location with nice wildlife including small alligators.
Very nice park
The birds here are very friendly but please dont feed them bread or rice it hurts their liver. And please dont feed the Gators.

Interesting place and history for this town. Hopefully the work on the lake is successful in the future. Underrated park.

Lovely, very peaceful, lots of birds to watch and look for turtles and gators. :)
It was nice for short walk to be there, but to being with three kids that was very disappointed the playground was closed.
Lovely place to chill
Beautiful park to spent a day with family.
Its cool...
Nice pier with a good view. No luck fishing due to merky water and vegetation.
Beatiful place, safe and quiet.
Very nice place to view the lake and have a picnic.
Great place to take the family for a sunset picnic
