    Blue Jacket Park in Baldwin Park is such a gem! I ended up doing an outdoor boot camp class here, and honestly, what a gorgeous place to get a workout in. The park is super clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained. Tons of green space, shady trees, and wide-open paths -- perfect for group workouts, a solo run, or even just a peaceful walk. There's something about the peaceful vibe and scenic surroundings that makes you want to keep moving. Definitely one of my favorite spots to stay active outdoors in Orlando!

    I recently stayed with my friends who live in the area, and being on a hot girl walk kick I asked if we could go on a HGW. This is SUCH a cute little park that is very clean and well manicured. You can tell the folks in the neighborhood are friendly because everyone says hello to you on your walk. It's great for people watching and also dog watching. Seems like the perfect spot to start or end your day with a stroll.

    What a great find. I was driving by and noticed the large park with monuments and knew I had to bring my pup for a stroll here. Early on a Monday morning we visited and there was plenty of parking available. I could see a father and son throwing a baseball, a mom workout group exercising, people utilizing the public workout equipment, and many people walking their dogs. Waste stations for your dogs was provided with poo bags. There was shady sidewalk areas to keep your dogs paws nice and cool. We explored some of the different monuments on site but the large water fountain was our favorite. Beautiful spot to sit, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. I can see this being a great location for photos or nice picnic setup. Sports fields are also located here. This is close by to Winter Park, Baldwin Park, and sits at an intersection with a traffic light for easy access. I plan on my next visit to be a picnic with friends to enjoy the great weather!

    It is a wonderful park with plenty of room to do just about anything outside. There's a fitness area and plenty of sidewalk around the perimeter to get laps in. One of the nicest parks in Orlando

    Blue Jacket Park used to be the old navy training center. In 2000 the city designated 75 acres as a public park. The park hosts events like birthday celebrations, weddings , company picnics and fund raising walks/runs. In addition to soccer area, baseball field , softball field, playground and workout areas there is a Navy History Wall to enjoy. The memorial wall has ten panels that gives you the Navy's history in Orlando. My grandson's love to burn off energy running around what feels like endless green space and the playground.

    Lovely park that has something for everyone! Plenty of walking trails and seemingly dog friendly. Tree shaded areas and of course sports facilities for just about everything. There are tennis courts, basketball courts, baseball diamond, and soccer field, and a track and field space as well. Does look to get a bit busy and there is no reservation system to my knowledge for these spaces so arrive early if you want access. The park looked clean and well kept. I didn't use the restrooms but there were several located throughout. There was a nice amount of parking available as well. Definitely nice for families, athletes, or anyone looking to enjoy a nice day.

    Blue Jacket Park is a park that spans across the borderlines of Baldwin Park, Winter Park, and Audubon Park. The park has large open fields, a lit circular walking trail, two bathrooms, one playground, three baseball diamonds, three basketball courts, three tennis courts, a public track, and several seating areas throughout. It's home to two gazebos where cookouts or gatherings can happen! What I love most about this park is it's versatility. With all sporting areas in one section and the other being this large open wide field that can be used for everything and anything. Which is exactly what it is used for during the Orlando Balloon Glow. Where once a year there are mini balloon rides where you go up and come back down. Blue Jacket Park is also home to many fitness groups like track shack running groups, Pilates in the morning, and tennis coaches for advance individual lessons. Overall if your looking to get some fresh air this park is definitely worth the drop by!

    I find this to be a very nice park. I've been coming here a few times per week to enjoy fresh air, sunshine and get a little exercise. The park offers something for most everyone. There is decent amount of parking. For hanging out, there is a nice solid pavilion and a few park benches scattered around. For fitness, there is a sufficient pathway for waking, running, cycling, etc., bars for strength exercises, a track and tennis courts. You'll even find grassy areas for lounging or other activities. I really enjoy this park and I'm glad to have found it.

    Blue Jacket Park is a wonderful oasis in an ever growing city. There is a fountain, walkways, athletic fields, pavilions, and more to give people in the community a nice respite from the concrete and asphalt of man's creation and allow the simple pleasure of walking in that which was created before us. We need places like this, a place to feel a bond with nature, to not feel overwhelmed by a world that is being transformed more and more into urban sprawl. We need a place to be, to unwind, to enjoy either solitude or to gather with those family or friends and celebrate life. This park offers such a respite. I recommend a visit.

    For 30 years the land this park is on was a naval training base. During that time the boot camp launched 625,000 military careers and trained sailors in electronics maintenance, navigation, nuclear power, and fleet weapon systems. In 1973 Orlando was the sole site of recruit training for enlisted women. The thousands of service personnel trained here were known as Blue Jackets. The last 459 recruits graduated on December 2, 1994 and the command closed on March 31, 199 In 2000, 75 acres of this historic site was designated as a park. To commemorate it's history, a 10 panel Navy history wall was added to the park. The Memorial Wall tells the story of the Navy's history in Orlando. The panel describes what it was like to be a recruit, a female Blue Jacket, and what the Navy is doing In Orlando today. In 2018 a bronze statue of a woman in a Navy uniform called The BlueJacket Recruit was added to the park to honor the 188,000 female recruits who graduated from the nation's first co-Ed boot camp. The statue stands next to one added in 2016 called the Lone Sailor of a male seaman waiting for his ship to come in. The history wall, statues, pier monument and compass rose are located at the south end of Blue Jacket Park along with the baseball fields. Other park amenities include grills, trails for walking, biking, and jogging, picnic tables and pavilions, playgrounds, restrooms, exercise stations, lighted athletic fields, tennis courts, and open space. Many events like 5K runs, birthday parties, and weddings are held here. This is the perfect place to exercise, take the kids to play, picnic, attend events, or just reflect on the sacrifices o our men and women in the military have made to keep our country safe.

The park is spacious as a saw lots of spaces to walk and play sports. I also saw people play cricket in one of the fields. I think there was a playground, but I didn't pay close attention. I was more focused on the event, which had various vendors and stages showcasing music and pioneer reenactments. They used to have horses that kids (and a kid at heart that's me) can ride during the event, but they didn't have them this year. So, not sure if the park is equestrian friendly. But the park was clean and family friendly. It is a nice free park for sports, events, and family activities.

It underwent a major renovation in 2021 where they added lots of amenities and made everything brand new. Even now, 5 years later, everything has been so well maintained and still feels like new. They have a free miniature golf putting course, an awesome splash pad, shaded playgrounds, basketball courts, and a nice nature walking path. You'll also find shaded picnic pavilions and a community garden. My son absolutely loves coming here. The parking lot can be a little tricky to find because my GPS using Google Maps never takes me to the right place. Don't let the location detour you from visiting. It's such a nice park and feels very safe.

    Lake Lorna Doone Park is one of the oldest parks in Orlando. It is just north of Camping World…read moreStadium. The neighborhood and the park is named after one of the earliest property owner's daughter's favorite novel, Lorna Doone, written by English author, Richard Doddridge Blackmore, published in 1869. Lake Lorna Doone was the site of the South's first integrated Little League Baseball game on August 9, 1955. The 1955 little league season was the first after US Supreme Court rulings had eliminated "separate but equal" conditions in the nation's schools and public parks. The Pensacola Jaycees were declared winners of their local district by Little League headquarters in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. When local officials would not allow them to play against the all-white teams they instead advanced to the Florida State Tournament which was held at Lake Lorna Doone Park. They ended up losing to host Orlando in the second round, 5-0 but they were welcomed by the hometown crowd and given encouragement. In 2021, 12 acre Lake Lorna Doone Park underwent an $8 million renovation. Added to the park was the nine hole Arnold Palmer Putting Experience, fitness stations, a playground, football fields, basketball courts, a splash pad and the Winnie Palmer Nature Trail. I especially liked the nature trail where I got to see native plants and wildlife. With the upgrades, this park now has all of the amenities needed to inspire a healthy, active lifestyle for the West Lakes families who live in this neighborhood and all who visit.
