Rats. Orlando Skate Park has Two soda vending machines. One has a broken cover on it, like someone…read morehad kicked a hole in it, and a couple of selection windows were missing the labels. You can see a part of the inside. I inserted Two dollars and pressed one of the labeled selections. Nothing came out. I held them in a few seconds longer. While looking at the windows, I was surprised to see a RAT crawl past the two Unlabeled windows. I went into the office and told them, that not only is the machine not working, but that there's RAT running around in there. They wouldn't pay me back, but they said they would place an OUT OF ORDER SIGN ON IT. They never did in the remaining two hours we were there. I'm guessing it's free money. Still, It's probably a good thing it doesn't work. Who knows what's all over those bottles kids would be drinking from. Dave M

The park is long and narrow, well utilizing the limited space it was given. It runs besides high voltage lines and on the other side is residential housing. On this visit, I will say that the park was relatively clean and appeared well maintained. The dog park was temporarily closed on this visit due to health concerns with the COVID-19 virus. The dog park appeared like it would be nice, with two areas, one for large dogs and one for small dogs. The only drawback was that it only had a porta-potty on the property. I am confident that this park serves this community well and again, I was impressed with how the design well used the space that it was given. If you are in the area, I would recommend a visit.

The Publix here is so amazing with a variety of cultural items and delicious baked goods. I love Baldwin perk for a cute friends themed brunch or quiet coffee and laptop morning after school drop off. The walks and bike ride trails are the best as I always feel safe no matter the time of day. There is a dog park as well for the pups located off lakemont and also a play ground for the kiddos. Blue jacket park is a hot area for local sport clubs and events like 5ks and wonderful for a quick hammock and book or field time. I would say picnic but there's way too many fire ants at blue jacket for that honey lol. But if you are looking to buy or rent a home in a beautiful community that you can ride golf carts or have things to do in walking or just want a nice place to go woosahhhh, this is it !

There's a brewery, a few nice restaurants, gators dockside, Five Guys, CVS, Publix and a Truist bank. Its own little community with plenty to do!

They have some pretty nice events monthly, so keep an eye out for that!

Went here for Panda Fest. It was our first time attending an event at Festival Park. Traffic was…read morepretty snarled up near the venue and parking is difficult, but several places were offering parking for $20 cash. We were able to get parking nearby and walk easily to the event. The park itself is setup well for events. Plenty of open area for booths. They had clear entry and exit areas and security staff to handle entry. The general line was very long, but the security was professional and did their best to move things along. They had porta-potties and mobile real bathrooms in VIP at this particular event. They also had plenty of trash cans. They did need more accessible water for purchase. It was mostly at just the bar huts and those lines were very long. Not good on a hot day when you aren't allowed to bring in your water bottle. The ground is also pretty uneven in spots, so just need to be mindful of that for people with mobility issues. I would go here again for another festival.

I attended the annual Panda Festival at Orlando Festival Park. There was than 80+ vendors from the…read moreregion, locally and across the country including favorites you can't normally try in Orlando! The venue was packed with people in long lines trying all types of Asian food and drinks. The longer the line the more popular the food. I tried several different types of food dumplings, kabobs, fries and tempura shrimp. The dumplings and tempura shrimp were good. The fries were too salty and the kabobs (chicken, beef and lamb) were tuff grizzly and hard to get off the stick. The food tasting range in price from $10-25 which was a bit expensive but a good time was had. Some of the foods I wanted to try had too long of a line for me to wait and pay the high price. Since public transportation nor ride share was an option I drove and parked about five blocks away. No complaint because it was free. The event last three days not sure if I would pick Saturday next time.

3 Stars for a fun skate experience for kids that does the job…read more.. Astro Skate is not a looker from outside (hot pink painted building with a hot pink spray painted old school bus parked beside it), but it was packed on the Saturday we were there for a kid's birthday party, so they're not hurting for business. Skaters check-in at the front and pay for their skates and a roller skating trainer (some PVC pipes with wheels that rents for $5 a pop and proved invaluable to most of the kids at the party). You're then buzzed into the main area where there's a bar with pizza oven, an area with tables for parties, a practice room, and the big skating rink. It's all pretty dated, but that kind of works for the nostalgia that is evoked at a roller skating rink. I didn't try the pizza, but had a french fry or two and they were surprisingly good. The main event aka the skating rink: The music is fun, there are black lights everywhere, and everyone was respecting the single direction of skating, which was great because kids were everywhere! They even had a bounce house at one end of the rink! At one point they called everyone to the center to make a circle and bring out the big mascot: Party Panda. These kids were HYPED and instructed to cheer as the masked character skated out onto the rink. I have to be honest, it was comical how unenthused the hot pink panda was as they slowly skated to the center and barely lifted their hand high enough to give the kids high fives when instructed. It was truly something out of a movie (lol). I guess even mascots have bad days? It was a bummer for the kids though and definitely a WHOMP WHOMP moment after all the hype for Party Panda. Overall, it was fine and the kids had a great time. Would I return for a date night or find a more updated rink? Probably the latter.

The trail is good for walking, running and biking. I'm not sure if skating is permitted. Parts of the trail are covered in shade by trees and for the most part you don't have to worry about cars or crosswalks except in the few places where there are parking lot entrances. Bathrooms can be found at the dog park and in the Balwin Park center where the restaurants are. There are plenty of places to park including lots and along the adjacent roads. Occasionally, you may see wild bunnies, turtles, butterflies, various birds, etc. A good place to exercise and enjoy the great outdoors.
