Bungalower – We told you in October 2020 that the City of Orlando was initiating a master plan process for Lake Eola Park that would see it updated for future generations.
The park, crowned by the historic Linton E. Allen Memorial Fountain, currently hosts over 100 events a year that bring over three million visitors to downtown. Parks staff told us last year, that the demands for the park were starting to outpace the abilities of its current infrastructure and an initiative to build new, more modern restrooms triggered a need to look at the park more holistically in the anticipation of what the next 50 years may demand of it.
The master plan process, which is being guided by GAI Consultants, launched with a first stage of ideation/brainstorming that was followed by a new standards/maintenance plan for the park, followed in turn by digital questionnaires that went out to the public earlier in the year.
