MLK, Jr. Park Renovations Project – City of Winter Park

City of Winter ParkGovernmentProjectsMLK Jr. Park Renovations Project

Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) Park is anchored by a tranquil lake featuring a relaxing fountain and a community-built Unity Bridge. This peaceful setting encompasses 23-acres of beautiful scenery, sports and recreation facilities, and the popular Community Playground. The park is perfect for family picnics, fishing from the bridge, sports outings, or just walking along the half-mile mile trail surrounding the lake.

To further enhance MLK Park while honoring the legacy of Dr. King and the historic Hannibal Square neighborhood, this project is focusing on better neighborhood and internal connections, integrating recreational and cultural programming, and strengthening environmental sustainability.
