Only thing that disappointed a bit was the strawberry smoothie- because it looked nothing like the picture. Just like a regular juice nice and cold so at least it tasted fine. Restrooms can use a renovation but we're ok. Nice shaded areas and plenty of good lifeguards on site

We enjoyed this place but wished there was clarity in the operating hours of the arcade and food…read more We wanted to enjoy the lazy river which was nice and relaxing but had lots of plant and mulch debris - likely from the rain and not from neglect. It was unfortunate that the arcade and all the slides were closed in the early evening (when you can finally go outside to avoid the Orlando summer sun baking you alive) and everything aside from one bar was closed. We managed to get a few drinks for the kids and us. Folks were *generally* (see below) well behaved and we brought our pool noodles into the river to avoid the steep floaty fee. We were not expecting as many drunk adults trying to skirt the floaty rental requirement or entitled kids climbing all over the rocks that clearly said "do not climb" but that's how it is sometimes.

We have been here before and enjoyed the place we stayed in the Holiday Inn Orange Lake Resort so we tried the waterpark location this time. The building was under some renovation so I'm sure it will be looking great soon. The room was spacious and nice for the 4 of us and the access to the pool area was great. Nice fitness center and bars and restaurants easily walkable. Overall a good experience despite the inconvenience of the renovation going on

Okay, I've gone from three stars, to four stars, and now back to three. Am I just fickle? No, I…read moredon't think so. Some endemic problems just go unnoticed until a moment occurs when such issues are revealed. Two issues, one old an unresolved, and one new have resulted in this downgrade. The old problem is unresponsive management. I have had a constant compliant about informing gym users to USE provided sanitary wipes after they use equipment. I was told in January (it's now nearing the end of May) that new signs were in the works. To date: nada. A gym up in Ocoee had a health contagion spread for reasons like this. The new problem is that management simply avoids the customers. Just this morning, a woman with developmental disabilities got he phone thrown at the door. A professional trainer - a man who is quite competent and caring - witnessed the event and took it upon himself to help sort this matter out. As he was helping settle things down, a manager sat ten feet away, in an office, door closed. Harris Rosen, a fine and charitable man, would not have tolerated this at the place where he once swam and chatted with his customers. Poor management is endemic, but I'm disappointed that it happens in a place where the line staff is so good.

We visited the Rosen Aquatic Center in Orlando for the Florida Age Group Championship meet, and I…read morehave to say it's an impressive facility. My daughter enjoyed competing in the 50-meter long course. The water temperature was spot-on and the pool itself was spotless. The whole complex is well maintained with clean restrooms and working drinking fountains. You can tell the staff takes pride in keeping things organized and swimmer-friendly. There's convenient off-street parking all around the facility, and plenty of hotels and restaurants nearby making it perfect for multi-day meets or out-of-town families. It can be a little tricky to find the pool for the first time since it's tucked away off the main road, so don't rely solely on a quick glance at your map. Once you're there, everything's easy to access. We only wish there was a bit more spectator seating. With big events like this, the stands fill up fast. Overall, it's a top-notch swim venue and a great experience for swimmers.

Lake Brantley has one of the biggest pools I've ever seen. Of course, they often host swim meets so…read moreI shouldn't have been surprised. I needed a place to swim laps and Brantley is the ONLY public pool in northwest Orange County/Seminole County that has a pool open before summer. I thought it was crazy that none of the following offer lap swimming prior to June: Farnsworth (Winter Garden), City of Ocoee, or Westmonte Pool (Altamonte Springs). Thankfully Brantley was open for a fee of $3 per day. Besides being massive the pool is clean and is a comfortable temperature. A little chilly when you first hop in but you appreciate the temperature after you've swam a few laps. I was there on a Friday morning and essentially had the place to myself. The staff was preparing for a swim meet that weekend so were busy moving canopies and chairs. The pool is 25 yards wide and 50 meters long. This day is was set up for the short distance. There were about 5 lanes set up in the shallow end. There are some low and high diving boards in the deep end. On the shallow side there is this movable platform that extends the width of the pool. This allows for the pool to be divided into one small, shallow area separate from the rest of the pool. This would be great for beginner lessons. On the day I was there a group of special needs kids were enjoying the small pool. There is a nearby BBQ grill the staff was taking advantage of. My biggest critique would be that there is this huge pool with ONE bathroom. Yes, one single stall for men, one for ladies. No locker rooms, no changing rooms. This single stall doesn't even have a bench for you to put your stuff on. I felt pressured to change quickly so I didn't hog the bathroom. I couldn't imagine sharing this single bathroom during the height of summer or during a swim meet when hundreds of people crowd the pool! BTW... to get to the pool use the staff/employee entrance to Lake Brantley High School. Follow the road ALL THE WAY around, behind the school. There is a dirt/gravel parking lot to the side of the pool, past the "staff" parking spots.

Did you know that one of Orlando's best outdoor recreational areas was once a thriving orange…read moregrove? Today, Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake is a 183 acre park where families, fishermen, campers, bird watchers, and nature lovers can enjoy a break outdoors that makes you feel a world away from the nearby tourist attractions. This property once contained more than 2,000 citrus trees before the City of Orlando purchased the land in the 1970s under Mayor Carl Langford. It officially opened as Turkey Lake Park in 1978 with the mission of conserving land in its natural state for residents as Orlando's tourism industry rapidly expanded. In 1981, many of the remaining orange trees were relocated to make room for a campground featuring RV sites and cabins. The park was renamed Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake in 2004 to honor former Orlando Mayor Bill Frederick for his commitment to preserving Orlando's natural spaces. Along with former Mayor Glenda E. Hood, he helped ensure the beauty of this park would be preserved for future generations. Today, the park is the City of Orlando's largest community park. Turkey Lake is considered one of Florida's top rated fishing lakes, making it a popular destination for anglers. Beyond the lake, there are miles of walking and biking trails, shaded picnic areas, playgrounds, fitness stations, sand volleyball courts, a seasonal swimming pool, boat rentals, a dedicated drone flying area, disc golf, and numerous pavilions for gatherings. The campground offers RV sites and cabins for overnight excursions surrounded by nature. Admission is a nominal $5 per vehicle or $2 for a single occupant, making it one of the best recreational values in Orlando. Come for a picnic, to swim, cast a line, visit the rescue animals, or hike the trails as I enjoyed doing. Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake is a reminder that Orlando offers more than just theme parks. I am so glad that the former mayors of Orlando had he foresight to preserve this slice of Florida's natural landscape where you never know what you might discover.

There are several facilities available including pavilions, grills, disc golf volleyball, playgrounds, swimming, fishing, and even a drone course. There's a bike path, a nature path and a small animal farm where you can see a turkey, chickens, and maybe a variety of other animals. There are cabins (assuming for rent) and a spot for small RVs and trailers. The park includes several restrooms which are very clean. The disc golf course is extensive and likely a bit difficult as it meanders through several wooded areas and even one hole across the water. The park has several pavilions varying in size. Most have parking nearby, however several will require you to hoof your goods a little distance. This is a great place for a family or larger gathering. Two dollar entry fee. Dogs allowed on leash and there are several pet sanitary stations.
