Spring Into Saturday: Local Parks


Sometimes you don't need a long drive to enjoy the outdoors.  Spring is possibly the best time to enjoy local gardens in Orlando. For both of these adventures, bring a picnic lunch.

1. Harry P. Leu Gardens  What I like most about this green space in Winter Park is that it is not "manicured."  Live oaks shade the azaleas and fall leaves crunch under your feet as you explore the boundaries of this park.  There is a wildness to this city bound park that I don't find it other local parks in Orlando.

2. Dickson Azalea Park   This park has haunting trails within the bounds of its lush green space.  There is a cool bridge too.  I like to bring a book to linger in the hush of this urban park.

  1. I live in South Louisiana and we are full of azaleas blooming. Spring is here! I love to wander and take flower pictures.

  2. Good gosh! These places sound incredible. Sadly, the only attraction I've ever been to in and around Orlando is Disney. Reading your post and some of Lee Ann's past posts made me realize I have a lot more sightseeing to do.

  6. These places are amazing. We don't have such beautiful flowers here in West Texas, but spring is still a welcome respite, even with a little dust in the air!
