This is one of our favorite parks to visit every time we are in the Winter Park area, which is at least once a month. It is right off Orlando Ave, and close to all the restaurants and shops around the area.We love the playground at this park. It is very ample and with lots of things to do and have fun with. My kids love all of the nooks and crannies it has to play, hide, and have fun in. Outside the playground, there are a couple of huge sport fields for Soccer and Football. There also happens to be a small exercise area with equipment, right next to the playground. There is a nice little trail to walk around the park, however, currently, it is partially closed due to construction of the new Winter Park Events Center and Library (Beautiful Building by the way). Nevertheless, if your desire is to take your kids to a nice quiet, yet fun, playground, this is the place to be. Do what we do, enjoy a nice little meal with your family at one of the many restaurants nearby, then swing by to this park to let your kids have fun and unwind. By the time you’re done, they have had an enjoyable day and you have too.
This is our favorite park to play at. Most of the play equipment is wood, so no worries about burning on hot plastic. What isnt wood is covered by fantastic shade. In fact, most of the play ground is nicely shaded. There are 4 swings and a tire swing. The ground is cushioned by wood chips. Weve been going to this park for 6 years and we love every second of it. We love the pond area as theres a terrific walking path that takes you around and over the ponds with bridges. There is never a lack of wildlife either. Weve gone as far as seeing a river otter as well.
Great park for kids of all ages. Huge wooden fort with all sorts of winding passages. Its fenced in as well. Restrooms close by and a nice sinkhole lake you can walk around with friendly ducks.
Diversity of things to do in the park. Walking, sports, awesome kids playing wood structure. Kids love to come and its a win win for everyone!
Great family Park with large playground and athletic fields. Nice gardens too. A new library is under construction on site that looks like it will be amazing architecture
Nice quiet location for walking the trail... But now there is construction blocking the trails. Hopefully by mid 2021 they will be finished with all the construction, that is messing up the beautiful park.
Not too many people, we went on a Wednesday, me and my two little ones. There were a few families with their little ones, but not too many people. My kids and I all wore our masks. They had a good time.
The fields were great! Location in Winter Park was safe. The entrance to the parking are somewhat hidden making it hard to enter.
This is one of the best parks in the area... Its just beautiful here. It has a nice paved sidewalk to go walking, with a bridge and path, around two small bodies of water that boast wildlife such as ducks, turtles, fish, herons... Also has an area for exercise, with nice workout equipment and instruction on how to use it. The park also has a couple Soccer fields, a softball/baseball diamond.The best part is the wooden playground. It has swings, tunnels, a wooden structure to climb on/in/through, a slide, and lots of tables and seating for the grown ups that need a break... Its a lot of fun for the little ones. I brought my daughter here, some 23 years ago... Now I bring my grand-daughter. She loves it as much as her mom did, all those years ago. I highly recommend his Park if youre looking for something fun to do with your little one, or you just want to get out and exercise and walk while enjoying nature around you.
Great park for a picnic with a fairly large wooden playground where the kids can play rain or shine!
Ive been coming here for 13 years since I moved to Orlando and I love it!! The free outdoor workout center for me and the wooden castle playground for the children while I workout. I love it!
Great playground for little kids- the castle playground is what my kids called it when it was first built some 30 years ago. So now grandkids hear the same castle playground name.
They have a big playground for the children baseball field in soccer field. A new library being built in the park
We love this beautiful park! It sports a decent sized wooden castle for the kids, a beautifully large pond with fountains and mallards, several bridges over the water, an exercise area with modern machines, and several large sports field. Weve never had trouble parking and it always is comfortable. Plenty of shade too.
Very large. Lots of ways to social distance. Clean and active
What a wonderful old wooden playground for kids to enjoy!
Great park but the field is in constant maintenance so sometimes not much of the field is free to play
Very unique playground, one of my kids favorite. Tire swing is great also.
The park is nice and upkeep, except for one thing. The restrooms are disgusting. Out side of the restrooms, the park itself is great.
Beautiful small park! It’s clean and it’s great for a picnic date or taking small kids to the playground.
If you are looking for a place top just let your kids imagination run and burn a little energy you found it. Plenty of room top run, play and climb in a nice fenced in area. Also a great tooth swing that allows you to swing with your child.
As far as playgrounds go, this is the best. My kids used to love it and now my grandson does. It also has bathrooms, drinking fountain, exercise machines, a small lake and ball fields. The only nicer park in the area is Lake Eola.
Glad to see families enjoying this park today as much as my (now adult) children did.
Nice shady wooden playground in the park to get away from harsh UV rays, my kid loves it there.
I walked around the park.twice . Nice clean area. I am planning on returning..
Very solid wood built playground and adjacent lake with abundant wildlife. Kids love it. Beautiful park!
I went here because the reviews. Gross. Very unkept, stinky stagnant water, most closed for constructions. No grass at all, just dried out old leaves. We never come here again for sure.
Under construction right now, but will be gorgeous when done.
Spent a pleasant afternoon with friends walking around.
This is a wonderful park. My Fiancé and I stopped by here when we got to Orlando too early to check in our hotel. We went to Publix down the street to get subs and ate them there. It have a lot of play area for kids, soccer field and lakes. The area is a nice area.
Great park to kickaround a soccer ball
I like it and that my experiment is what I want to do so I can make this place more famous in Orlando FL
Very quiet park to walk and exercise in Winter Park. Quite a number of colorful ducks and other birds to see. The vegetation and lake water is quite pleasant as well.
Great neighborhood park, with a very large playground for kids. The wooden playground has plenty of room for lots of kids and adults can even climb inside, provided they arent too big. The tandem swing is something Ive never seen before, and its great if you have a little one thats not quite used to a swing yet. Restrooms are nearby as well as a lake and a nice walking path.
Great for kids to play informal soccer games. They have a kids playground, restrooms, a lake with ducks and some outdoor exercise machines.
For a very popular park which is extremely busy on the weekend. Might wanna think about expanding the parking lot.
My girls call this place castle park because it looks like a huge wooden castle. There is plenty of room to play and you can even take a stroll around the lake.Super awesome scenery for pictures too.
Lovely place to relax and take a short walk
My boys (2&4) love the wood fort playground!
Not the same as it used to be. Most slides are missing along with a lot of other stuff. Cant even walk around the ponds due to construction. Just tear it down like everything else in the neighborhood and build a high rise apartment complex.
This park is sad. I expect a well maintained park carrying Martin Luther King Jr name. The lakes are so dirty theyre black and has a nasty smell. Theres no statue for Martin Luther king Jr or anything.
One of my favorite parks to play basketball outdoors.Martin Luther King jr. Park is a great Park.Its in Winter Park right behind spats they have large fields for all types of sports and activities especially soccer and they have softball fields and 2 full courts for basketball.They have restrooms and parking and you can walk around and hang out theyre too its just a really cool Park.
The park is nice. Soccer field, large play ground, a pond you can fish in with the little one.
Good park visit often, Restroom facilities .Tire swing which the kids love there is also a swing that you can place a small child in and you swing with them while facing them its great, Two huge soccer fields . Exercise equipment for adults & a small trail around the perimeter . There is a Publix nearby in Orange avenue and also a Chick-fil-A can pick up food on the way to the park make a nice afternoon of it.
This is one of my favorite parks to visit in the Orlando-Winter Park area.This park does not have a lot of parking spots, but it is so beautiful and has so much to offer that is is deserving of five stars.You have long trails for you to jog, ride your bike or tale a stroll. Also has a soccer field, outdoor exercise equipment, beautiful views, benches, wooden bridges and a beautiful wooden playground for the kiddos.With about two man-made lakes inside this park, Martin Luther King JR park is a safe place to go with the family, friends or on a date. Extra bonus points for having clean and accessible restrooms!!
Grew up at this park and now I get to watch my kids play here. Always maintained well, 3 huge open fields (when they arent closed for maintenance), two basketball courts and the castle themed wooden playground that makes this an iconic Winter Park landmark.
Amazing Park for the kids good running path and little work out spot plenty of field for soccer, and football, my daughter loves the park everytime we go and there always kids playing around
Absolutely beautiful park. From the clean gated areas to the well kempt walking trails my family & I visit here whenever we have the time to spare. There is a small library box so feel free to bring any unwanted books to donate and give to the community. Beautiful spot for photos
Very good community playground. Beautiful park.
Great park me nd my family had a good day
Great family park, great park for soccer, frisbee and football. Good park for workouts and basketball or softball.
I was pleasantly surprised with this quaint little park in the middle of Winter Park neighborhood. It was clean & family friendly.
First time at the park. Daughter super excited when she saw the wooden playground.
Nice place to relax and exercise. Love the duck ponds and the exercise area. Lots of shade from the sun
Beautiful little park with lots for the little ones to do. Close to the trail so it’s a nice place to stop with them if you’re out exercising to get a break. Winter Park is just lovely in general.
There was 2 gangs there and 4 fights happened. DONT GO TO EARL BROWN BY UR SELF
Very scenic and peaceful. Also beautiful until the storms come and youre drenched lol.
Really nice lay out. Lots of trees. Peaceful in areas
It funny because I used to play at this park, now Im 37 and I can see my three children doing the exact same thing that I was doing at this park.
Great playground and lovely small lake path. Historical note- this park is located on the site of the 1980 sink hole!
With a beautiful lake, jogging trails, clean restroom you can enjoy an afternoon with the family. This park has the best free access playground in Central Florida. Safe and kept very clean, i have been going here since I was a child. If you have a tiny tot, try the tandem swing.
One of the more unique playgrounds in town. Looks like a big wooden castle.
Relaxing place to walk in the afternoon. Allows fishing and has some recreation areas.
Nice park. Clean.
My absolute favorite park in the area. Beautiful walking trail around and over a duck filled lake. With adorable little bridges, large childrens playground and plenty of fields for every sport. Extremely well maintained.
The only park i been 2 tht had sunblock lotion more parks need tht now thy just need bug spray for the kids
Really cool park. Good for kids.
My favorite neighborhood park to take my daughters to play. Huge playground for the kids. Swings, tire swing, slides, water fountains and sitting areas. The trees blanket the playground so children arent exposed to the sun while they play.
Great place to walk the dog or play sports
The wood park is awesome!
I love this park I always come here with my kids and we have a great time
Very nice. Has ponds, big playground and a fitness area. Beautiful wildlife.
My favorite playground area for small kiddos. The climbing areas are all very safe because there are no cutouts to fall from. Parents can relax a bit which is nice. Also, a bit of shade from the trees which is always enjoyable.
Gotta love that wooden fort park. Kids have a great time
Great spot for kids to run around and play
Absolutely beautiful!!
A great park for kids, with a walking/jogging trail and an exercise area for adults. The playground was rebuilt recently, though they removed some things that made for a better experience for older kids. Theres now no balance beams or bridges between the towers. Still a lot for younger kids, but my 7 year old is pretty disappointed with the removals.
Beautifully kept scenery
Nice place for a walk or to bring the kids
My kids love going to “the brown park” lol
Clean and quiet. Great place to take the family
Good place to walk
It is a great place to bring kids. The park is well shaded. The fields to play on are a little beat up.
Great park for kids
Nice place to go for a short run around
Big park with something for be everyone to enjoy!
Great play place. Love the castle layout and the fact its wooden.
Great place to relax and nice playground for the kids.
Well kept. Really pretty playground and nice folks around.
Conjuested not enough for the smaller kids to play on . liked the socker field on the other side of the play ground, the bathroom was not cleaned up with the amount of people at this park there should have an attendant on the grounds .
A great park!
One of my favorite parks. Open, shaded and lots of room to play. Could be in danger with Winter Park future plans.
As always excellent....HRM
Nice shaded place for parents and kids.
