Lake Eola Park

Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando, Florida is a dog-friendly park.

This is a beautiful place! Once or twice around the lake would be a perfect, light walk for small dogs or a slightly out-of-shape pooch like mine. Big dogs who are in good shape would probably be happy with 5 laps around. The park is definitely dog-friendly. There are well-stocked poop-bag stations everywhere. The scenery is lovely and there are lots of interesting grassy and mulched areas for dogs to explore. If you go there, stop for lunch at Relax Grill, which is right in the park, near the amphitheater. It’s dog-friendly, offers a great view and good, cheap eats.

Lake Eola Park has a 0.9 mile loop around the lake, a café, playgrounds, swan boats, and an amphitheater. There are also benches and picnic tables.

The park has multiple parking options, including a city parking garage on Central Boulevard. The entrance and parking lot are wheelchair accessible.
