Parks in Orlando

My son loves going to the park but the one in our neighborhood is so-so. I am looking for one with baby swings, lots of slides, and maybe some picnic benches. We live in Southeast Orlando but we're willing to go somewhere far away if it's really good.

Thanks!

I think almost any city park would have what you are looking for. For older kids, I think the park next to Lake Eola looks fab! But our kiddos are a bit too young for it. You may want to check out Orlando's Parks and Recs website for parks near your area!

How cool that Cinderella visited your son in the hospital!!

I saw that your icon is a mission patch - do you work for NASA?

Smilejen - I work at KSC as a NASA contractor. That's my STS-120 patch, it was my first mission when I started working here and now it's up in space!

What a cool job! Are you going to be able to keep working after the last shuttle flight, or will you be laid off until the missions start up again?

No, I work in the life support systems group and we will keep supplying the space station with supplies and payloads until the new system ramps up. The news makes things out to be bad but there is a lot of work to do.

Ditto the park at Lake Eola. It looks so fun, I would be tempted to jump on a swing if there weren't so many kids! It has so many spinning contraptions and jungle gyms, and it is all fenced off and ther is plenty of seating for parents.

Haha, I've been tempted to go play there too. I can hardly wait until my son is a little bit older so that I have an excuse to do that.

Hey Jenn!  I have no clue about the parks but I wanted to say hi and ask how Nate has been since his surgery.  He looks great in your siggy pic.  I hope you are still doing great.  I was going to say we should meet up for coffee again but did you see that "our" Barnie's closed??  Anyway, still feel free to call me anytime!

Mrs. TLC

i was wondering too how Nate is doing since his surgery?
