    Reviews With Photos - Oviedo On The Park

    I had no idea this park was here! We came into the area to find a certain restaurant (which I will also review) and stubbled onto this GREAT little area for Oviedo. Oh my goodness the splash pad and playground were a hit with my 10 year old. They have an amphitheater and little swan boats you can rent out to go out on the little lake. They have a concession stand to get very reasonable treats both salty and sweet. I loved the permanent checkerboards on the benches that could be used as little tables or bring your own pieces for a game! There is a lot of space where you can chillax while your kids play and they have a lot of events that happen here. I am going to keep my eyes open and attend one sometime and check out the people vibes. There are restaurants and shopping everywhere. I am SO IMPRESSED! This place was just a LITTLE past where my usual activities take me so its a testimony to getting just a BIT outside of your area and find new places to treasure!

    What a cool area! They really built this up with lots of restaurants, shops, activities, a dog park, apartments and an event center. And there seemed to be plenty of free parking, with street parking, a few areas scattered around the lake, and a parking lot just north of the Event Center. Now that I know this is here, I plan on coming back to check out more events, the Food Factory food hall, and a return trip to the Crazy Cork wine bar. Very cool and you wouldn't guess it was here when you drive by on Mitchell Hammock (which I've done many many times).

    There is just too many great things about Oviedo On The Park to list here. It is so beautiful and pleasant. Go online and you will be pleasantly surprised what a wonderful place this is for ALL ages. You must go online and see for yourself all the great places this offers!!

    I love this park, it's adorable. It definitely leans towards the older kids. My son didn't start to really enjoy it until after he was two (except for the splash pad). Plenty of tables to sit at and enjoy. A small community library houses fish food for 25c: there are fish, turtles, ducks and birds. There is a nice raised area with Adirondack chairs over looking the lake and the splash pad area. The only reason I left off a star is that there are no swings and parts of the playground could use replacing due to wear and weather.

    I attended Oktoberfest at Oviedo on the park last night. This is an annual event put on by the City of Oviedo located at Center Lake Park Amphitheatre & Cultural center. The event featured beer, food and entertainment by German musicians. This is the second time I've attended this event. The event was very crowded and there was no place to sit under the big tent. Get there early to get a spot. The beer was electronic payments only and we had to scan a QR code/ pay before we could even get beer. They only accepted that payment and no cash or card. The line was also long for the beer. Maybe more beer stands are needed? We wanted to get authentic German food but there was just one food truck that had it and the line for it was a mile long. I hope the event organizers have more authentic German food options next time. We settled for just getting pretzels at a different food truck that had a shorter line. Overall we had fun.

    Loved this park. Loved the walking path and the mural and the whole set up as well as how walkable it is. This really is a nice area and a great place for a walk with my pup. I would definitely come back here when in the area. We also checked out the new food hall in this area and CFS Coffee which is a coffee shop we simply fell in love with. Definitely loved our visit here.

    Oviedo on the Park is a cool little park area with plenty around to do. There are nearby restaurants and nice walkways around the lake. The lake is not all that large, but it provides a nice place to walk around and enjoy it. This is the kind of place you cone to spend time with someone in a nice environment. Round the lake the is a playground, a small dog park area (I do mean small) a service memorial, a snack window., and swan boats you can rend. All around enjoyable area to spend a little time. We had actually grabbed a pizza from a nearby joint and walked over to sit at one of the outdoor tables to eat it. There were definitely other people enjoying the area, but not overly crowded.

    My baby girl Lady Bug and me at Oviedo on the Park! She loved it
    Kaitlin B.

    Great place to walk around and get some exercise in at nighttime or during the day. They have great restaurants around, Swan rides, a playground, splash pad, and a fenced in area for dogs to run around, get a drink and play! My lady bug always has a great time and I love that we can go by ourselves when no one is there inside the doggie area bc she does not do well with other doggies unfortunately. Definitely come check it out if you haven't already!

    What a beautiful place to stroll around with the family and catch a bite to eat! If you have kitties, make sure you come out here early so they can play in the splash pad!

    Oviedo has certainly grown since I moved to Orlando in 2001 and this park is a testament to the growth that this once sleepy town just outside of Orlando has experienced. It is by no means a huge park, but it is very well laid out. There is a stage, a dog park, swan boats to paddle upon the little lake, a playground, a "cantina" to grab a snack, and more. This park is a welcome addition to Oveido and by the people there enjoying a Sunday, the local residents agree with me and embrace this bastion of the sentiment of community. I shall return here. I seen they frequently have shows on the stage. They, in fact, were advertising an upcoming comedy show. Maybe I will check it out. As an overview, this park is a great place that serves a very positive experience to the residents of Oveido and the surrounding area. It shows that this town is more than a quiet place next to Orlando.

    Oviedo on the Park is a newly developed part of town with some great amenities! There is a small lake/pond called Center Lake with a fountain in the middle. Surrounding the pond is a playground, splash pad, dog park, bathrooms, and a concession stand. You can even rent swan boats to ride around the lake. The splash pad is a good size and it is free. It's not gated so you'll have to monitor your kids closely (which parents should be doing anyway). There are some good restaurants around the area and they are still adding more. There is a lot of new housing popping up. They occasionally have outside events at the park and they can host private events in their indoor pavilion. I wish there was a little more shade, but overall this is a clean and well organized park.

As a nature lover I enjoyed the many boardwalks with views of the lake and the sidewalk which meanders through the entire park. It is perfect for walking for exercise and I saw the cutest marsh rabbit as I made my way through the park. There are also two fishing piers. Kids will spend hours playing and on the two imaginative playgrounds. Secret Lake Park is also home to the recently renovated Casselberry Recreation Center which has a main room, ballroom, billiards room, computer room, outdoor deck area, activity room, and outdoor pavilions. The recreation center offers many programs from youth to senior. They include exercise, yoga, Tai Chi, Zumba, and dance classes. The park is also the host of several beloved Casselberry traditions like the HOWL-O-WEEN Dog Walk-a-Thon and Canine Costume Contest, Art & Music in the Park & Food Truck Bazaar, and the Casselberry Easter Egg Hunt. I really enjoyed my visit to Secret Lake Park. It is the perfect outdoor recreation destination for families, fitness seekers, and sports lovers. You can go for peaceful stroll, play basketball, or watch the kids play safely. The scenic lakeside views, comprehensive recreational programs, and variety of amenities add to the charm and versatility of this park.

The park has toddler swings as well as regular swings, making it great for children of all ages. Since my last review, everything has been repainted and cleaned, and the improvements are noticeable.

It has two regular swings and two baby swings. It has a "little kid" and a "big kid" playground. It has bathrooms on site. The cons are that it can be difficult to keep an eye on all your children if one wants to be on the big playground and one on the little. Worse than that is that the big kid playground is a little TOO big. It has a lot of openings a child could fall out of that are quite high. Thankfully the third story doesn't have an opening, but I have seen older kids climb up the outside of the large enclosed slides all the way to the top. It was extremely scary! There are warnings for bees but I am yet to see any.
