Bill Frederick Park - Park in Orlando - 3401 S Hiawassee Rd, USA

My buddy and I are from right outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We flew into Orlando for a quick fishing trip, and we rented a boat and fished here on a Friday and a Saturday (January 19th and 20th). They only have 4 boats that are allowed on the lake, only rent them Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and only rent them from 7am to 11 am. The lake is not pressured at all, and we had lots of luck (I'll keep what we used and what spots we fished a secret). The 2 guys working the boat rental dock were super nice and very helpful. The scenery was beautiful, and the wildlife was plentiful. There are otters in the lake, and they were super fun to watch. They also have gators, but we didn't see them. Also, plenty of bird species call the lake home or use it as a stop on their migrations, so if you are into birds or wildlife in general, you will not be disappointed. We were both pleasantly surprised by how nice everyone was that we met here, and can't wait to get back to do some more fishing. We didn't visit the other parts of the park, but the lake, boats and people were all fantastic. If you want to fish in Orlando, this is a must try lake. Good luck, and tight lines!!

The playground here is so amazing!!! They have 3 different play areas, the largest is definitely the shadiest. They’re pretty spread out between pavilions, too, with lots of room to play. There was ample parking in Lot 2 and within walking distance to the petting zoo area, as well. The bathrooms were not conveniently located, but we’re easy enough to find. I don’t know if I would pay the admission just for the playground, but if you’re here already you should definitely check it out. There’s so much to do here and would be an amazing family outing.

After a long driving day, we stopped at this beautiful park to have a quick picnic. This is not our first visit to the park. Love having such close contact with nature so close to home (we do live in Orlando, barely few miles away). The picnic area was clean and very well built. Restrooms were open and not in a terrible condition. We visited the animals and then we went home. This park is a nice getaway for when you get tired of being surrounded by urban areas. I do recommend !!

My daughters and I had a refreshing day at the park. There’s lots of parking space. Although, we didn’t make use of any we liked to see that there are plenty of large shades and barbecue grills for outdoor party lovers. We enjoyed taking a walk around the park. The are plenty of picturesque views.

Very nice place to take the kids. Playground, pool, lake, animals, etc. I spent hours and the kids had a lot of fun. 100% recommended.

Great park with loads of activities! The lake and cypress trees are lovely. There is a small RV park, several cabins, fishing pier, boat rental dock, disc golf course with over the water hazards, three playground areas, large public swimming pool, long well paved biking / hiking trail and a drone racing area. Only down side is a five dollar vehicle entrance fee.

This was a huge park and amazing place to be in the morning. We came a little early but they open right on time at 8. The park fee was five dollars at the door. You can pay with cash or card. The parking is really open and you can drive around and park anywhere. There is plenty of place to sit at and enjoy the view.

I have being visiting this park for long time it is one of my favorites I love the environment, the Green nature, the trails to walk, hike, run, Camping, fish, play Sport, Ride bikes they even have a little farm and is it so peaceful to just relax.
