Baldwin Park

Baldwin Park began as the Orlando Army Station in 1942 and later became the Orlando Navy Training Center in the 1990s. In 1997, it began its transformation into the beautiful community it is today. Baldwin Park is bordered by Winter Park, Audubon Park, and Colonial Town Center and is only minutes from Downtown Orlando.

Baldwin Park contains two large lakes, Lake Baldwin and Lake Susannah, as well as acres of parks. Grab a bike and head to Cady Way Trail, a popular 3.5-mile bike trail that connects Baldwin Park to Winter Park. Want to have a relaxing day at a park? Visit Blue Jacket Park which has a picnic area and pavilions to enjoy lunch. Work up an appetite by visiting their track and field complex, tennis courts, baseball fields, basketball courts, sports fields, or just walking around the fountain plaza and grand stairs.
