Seven Oaks Park takes its name from the seven beautiful live oak trees that were the park’s first plantings. Since opening in February 2025, the park has quickly become a hub for community gatherings, hosting events such as Easter in the Park, Movie Nights, Farmers Markets, and more. Nestled in the heart of the shops and restaurants along Orange Avenue, Seven Oaks Park provides a welcoming and tranquil space to relax, connect, and enjoy the community.

There are many places in Winter Park’s parks system that meet the need of just about everyone. Read a book in the quiet beauty of Kraft Azalea Garden on Alabama Drive or sit and watch various kinds of boaters at Dinky Dock Park on Ollie Street.
For the active, play tennis at Winter Park Tennis Center or take a pilates class at the Community Center on New England Avenue.
gonefishin'
Fishing is allowed (with a freshwater fishing license) and very popular in most city parks. Lake Mendsen, in Martin Luther King, Jr. Park at Denning Drive and Morse Boulevard is a great fishing spot. It is stocked by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission primarily with channel catfish. Largemouth Bass, bluegill, sunfish and blue tilapia can also be found. There is a 14” minimum size for keeping the bass and a five bass limit in this lake. Other species have no size limit and the maximum for keeping is 50 fish.
And don’t forget that fishing is also popular at Dinky Dock Park and Kraft Azalea Garden.

Palm Cemetery
On April 13, 1906, Loring Chase deeded to the city a little over three acres of land to be used specifically as a cemetery. In the agreement, he requested that he be allotted the southeast corner of the cemetery to be used as his plot. On August 24, 1906, he was interred at Palm Cemetery with a marble obelisk over five feet tall as his marker. The inscription memorializes his historical importance to the city as “One of the founders of Winter Park 1881.” Palm Cemetery now consists of 17 acres along Webster and New York avenues, bordered by the Winter Park Golf Course.
Pineywood Cemetery
Pineywood Cemetery, originally known as Pinewood Cemetery, was established in February 1890. Although funds started being raised as early as 1884 for the cemetery, the 10 acres along Lake Spier was purchased in 1889 from Dennis Eagan and plotted out by Col. J. H. Abbott. It was the only cemetery in Winter Park for 17 years until Palm Cemetery was established in 1906. At that time the cemetery was then designated to the residents of Hannibal Square. In May 1946, the Piney Woods association took ownership, and operated and maintained the cemetery until 1970, when the cemetery was deeded back over the city.
