Park Avenue Refresh

Park Avenue is the epicenter of Winter Park’s culture, charm and economic vitality. The last Park Avenue streetscape restoration occurred between 1996 and 1999. Now, almost 30 years later, the city’s main street, Park Avenue between Webster and Fairbanks avenues will be undergoing a refresh to provide for today and tomorrow’s needs.

Overall Goals

• Maintain charm & warm, inviting environment
• Enhance safety & aesthetics
• Strengthen infrastructure (electric, smart city & irrigation)
• Provide consistent look for hardscape, landscape & architectural elements along the Avenue
