Lake Baldwin Park

Solids five stars here. It’s approximately 2.5 miles all the way and Lake Baldwin, so it’s a great space to run, bike, walk, etc. The path is wide enough to accommodate passing people and two way traffic. Most people are good at staying to the right.
The views are great. The lake side on the center. There is the dog park, New Broad Street, piers and scenic housing at various points.
There are benches every few hundred feet or so, which is great for those leisurely walks, catching your breathe, or even doing some stretching or exercises on them. It’s really well maintained as well!
Overall: A
Good path for just about any type of adventure!

I’ve walked this trail a few times. Today it was quite hot at 11:00 am so I should’ve done this earlier around 9:00 to enjoy it more. Clean trail, wildlife found around the lake but watch for the bikers! Lots of restaurants and shops near the trail so it has a Winter Park feel to it. It’s great to see so many people out moving and enjoying this area of Orlando!

Honestly, had I been writing the review a month ago it would have been five stars, and honestly, the park itself is the best dog park I’ve been to in Central Florida by far, but I advise you to be weary of taking your dog into the lake. We went there on 6 days ago and my dog loves to swim so of course, the lake is the highlight of the park; but the very following day my pup had a terrible eye infection and the only thing I can guess it’s from is the water where dogs have «accidents» and contaminate the water. I’ve seen various dogs do it, and they can’t help heir instinct, but it’s just something to be aware of! In he future, we will be playing at the park, just not swimming.

An enthusiastic five stars for a wonderful dog park in a fabulous location!
My husband and I take our dog here fairly often. It’s decently large (at least a couple of acres) and located on a large and pretty lake. There’s private parking and we’ve never had any trouble finding a spot.
My favorite features are the dog washing stations! This is a very cute idea and great if your dog is the type who actually enjoys going into the water (mine does not, but I still like the concept). The dog washing station is located right by the restrooms, which are usually fairly clean and nice.
There is also a small dog area that is fenced separately inside the main dog park. Though it doesn’t have anything in it aside from a couple benches, it’s still a nice feature. The main dog park also had a water fountain for dogs and a few picnic tables. There’s always a bunch of happy people and their pooches and we’ve never had a bad experience.
Overall, this is a beautiful dog park and you should definitely bring your dog to visit!

Probably the best off leash dog park I’ve ever been to. Dog bath area, lots of trash cans, lots of space, waterfront, beach. It’s dog paradise.

An awesome and unique puppy park on the lake.
Lake Baldwin Park is one of the best dog parks I have ever visited. While other dog parks may be bigger or stay better maintained, Lake Baldwin Park in unique in the features it offers for dogs. Whether it is the awesome beach, washing station, or proximity to walking paths and the rest of the Baldwin Park community, Lake Baldwin Park is top notch.
Lake Baldwin Park is located on the northwest corner of Lake Baldwin off Lakemont Avenue. While the parking area isn’t a fully-​paved lot, there are plenty of parking spaces and entrances into the park. Once you arrive, you hop out of the car with your dog, go through one of the double gates, and let your dog off the leash to run wild. If you have a smaller or more timid dog, you also have the option of taking him or her into a small dog area or to one of the farther ends of the park to get away from everyone.
Once you are in the park, there is plenty to do. Any time I’ve gone with my wife and dog, the first thing we do is go check out the picnic area and the washing area. While they are usually occupied (and occasionally occupied by some weird people), we often run into some of the less energetic dogs for preliminary interaction. We then follow our pup around as he explores the park and makes his way down to the beach. The nice thing about this park is most of the high energy dogs are down near or in the water. This not only gives them something to do to get rid of energy, but also minimizes any fighting among the dogs. Most of the dogs my dog has met at this park has been decently well-​trained and not ultra-​aggressive, so he has been able to have fun without dealing with the crazy fights you might see at other similar parks.
Overall, Lake Baldwin Park is a big beautiful park with a fun beach, fun people, and nice people from around the Baldwin Park area. If you are looking for a place to take your dog to get socialized, then I’d highly recommend checking this park out.

We found dog heaven on earth! This is a great park for running and swimming and just being a dog. It can get crowded but most pup parents seem to keep a handle on any aggressive issues. And the dog wash station is a great touch after a day in the lake and the mud! Wish we lived closer to frequent this park more often.

What a beautiful way to end an afternoon in Orlando. There is a playground for the kids and the dog park is vast… enough for pets to run free and take a dip into the lake! There are restrooms on site and plenty of parking. Good for walks, bike rides, rollerblading, and runs, as there are trails to do so. There is a designated area to wash your pets. Awesome!
Beautiful scenery with benches to sit and quiet place for meditation. Definitely worth a visit.

Recently moved with my dog so Unilocaled dog parks and Baldwin had good reviews so I tried it out and it’s a good park normally packed with dog all different sizes which is important, big lake and has ALOT of space. The reason I gave it four stars is because your dog WILL get dirty so don’t be like me and forget your dog shampoo and towel (there is a area to wash your dog) also you WILL get dirty so wear something that you don’t care if you do, your feet WILL also get dirty so I’m planning to buy boots I can only wear there because the first day I brought so much dirt and sand from my shoes to my apartment and my feet were GROSS! But as long as my dog is happy, I am happy!

Perfect place to bring the pups!
The entire dog area is fence in so you can let them off the leash to run around, socialize, or go swimming! There is always a plethora of different breeds running around from big to small. People are always friendly too.
It’s also really nice because it’s well kept. There’s bathrooms and fountains too if you need them!
My dog loves it so much.

Awesome park. Actually best park since the furbabies get to swin, run, play, socialize etc… We have friends that come from any direction from outside of Orlando. We love it, friends love it, furbabies love it. Also We’ve made human and furbabies new friends … As long as u understand that no dog is a jerk! It’s the jerk holding the leash… You’ll be alright.

Lake Baldwin Park is a pet-​friendly park with plenty of room to roam, as well as two pavilions, a boat ramp, picnic tables, waterfront areas for dogs, gated dog park, walking trails, and restrooms. Dogs may run off leash in the fenced area from 8am until dusk. There are washing stations adjacent to bathrooms and a kids park.
I usually take my dog to the gated small dog area. He love greeting all the dogs and sniff everything. An incredible play-​place for all dogs.
The only complain I have is that there is no segregation in the water area for small dog. Sorry but I dont feel comfortable letting big dog near my small dog.

This is dog Heaven! The dogs have 23 acres to play, run and swim. My dog really is a 12 pound power house. The biggest issue is owners not watching their dogs or just chucking balls and I saw people and dogs get trampled. My guy enjoys fetching in the lake and was happy to get a bath after his play. Wear old shoes!

Since moving to Florida from up north, I have been looking for a dog park to bring Layla. I am very particular about where I bring her but this place is fantastic. The fenced in area is huge, and suprisingly pretty clean for the amount of dogs I have seen there. The bathing stations are great; bring your own towel and shampoo. There are drinking stations as well, but I recommend bringing your own water with you, my dog didn’t like their drinking water. I cannot believe this place exists and i love bringing Layla there. The other dog owners are pretty good about breaking up fights, which are seldom, since it seems like the owners know their dogs and they are very well behaved.

If you’re looking for a huge, fenced in, water sport, nature trails, awesome dog park, then look no further! We LOVE this park and come 1 – 2 times per week, even though it is a bit of a drive for us. Every time we’ve come there have been plenty of furry friends who love to wrestle, chase, Play rough and get dirty!
If you’re the type that doesn’t like dogs jumping on you or getting dirty then this probably isn’t the park for you. If you’re the type of person who keeps your dog on a leash while at a dog park then this is also NOT the place for you. By putting your dog on a leash you are putting their lives AND yours in danger; there is a thing called «barrier frustration» or «leash frustration» that I have personally seen it cause many dog fights. Also, if you’re the type to pick your dog up & carry it, NOT the place for you, as this also can cause very dangerous dog fights. This park is HUGE so if you’re worried about either of these or possibly losing your dog I’d suggest sticking to a smaller dog park.
Most pet parents here are super on top of it as far as maintaining cleanliness & safety, which I love! And so many people are understanding & nice when it comes to the special case dogs, like my own who tends to go back to his herding corgi roots & bark a lot. Rain or shine this place is always a blast!

This is a beautiful park located in the Baldwin Park subdivision. It is a scenic walkway around Lake Baldwin. On July 3, 2015 there was a fireworks display health at this park. They had vendors, food trucks, and a live band playing. I found an excellent venue for a fireworks display. The sidewalks all around very wide. Not a bad seat in the entire place.
Looking forward to attending this part again in the future, and definitely for the Independence Day celebration.

Very nice dog park!
We’re not from the area so we decided to check it out and see what all the rave is about. The park was an adventure for our puppy, especially with the large lake and sand lot. There were plenty of wash stations, fountains, and breeds for our puppy to play with!
This is a great option for tiring your dog out and getting him to socialize before heading out to the amusement parks.

My dogs are my babies, so Im always looking for good dog parks to take them to release their crazy inner self and interact with other furry friends. This park is pretty big. lots of space for the dogs to run around and let loose, they even have an area by the restrooms where you can give them a bath. One of my friends had told me about it and I decided to give it a try this past weekend. I took my Shiba inu and Basset Hound and boyyyy did they get home tired haha. We walked around the trail for some exercise, and although they did not get in the water they did run around in the sand and made new friends that hopefully we’ll see again.
I must also add that this place is very well maintained which is a BIG plus for me :)

Lake Baldwin Park is definitely the most spacious and scenic dog park in Orlando! Great place for your dog to explore, swim, and make some furry friends! I love to take Ralph here for a weekend reward to let off some steam and roll around in the mud, which he does quite enthusiastically! After his mud roll romp, he tends to make his way around the park. For the times I went, everyone has been respectful and keeping tabs on their dogs. Owners would immediately dissipate any aggressive fighting between their dogs and try to keep them separated to avoid any further interactions. Hooray for responsible dog owners!
Moving on, waste bags and trash bins are located throughout the park so no worries on that front. Remember my make some furry friends comment? Well, even if YOU don’t want to; those furry friends will come find you anyway! So, the suggestion of wearing attire that you don’t mind getting dirty is strongly encouraged. Trust me, I have dirty paw prints on my shorts for proof!
In the end, you can wash your dog at the cleaning stations located behind the restrooms. This is a great convenience for pet owners who don’t want muddy tracks showing up on their car seats post park visit. Just remember to bring extra towels and shampoo!

Dogs love this park! It is HUGE and always PACKED with dogs so your dog is always going to find a dog to play with that fits. It is right on the lake for those dogs that like to swim. This park is very muddy so make sure you bring towels. There are hoses there to clean your dog once he/​she is done playing.
My only complaint is that for some reason my dog always seems to get some time of skin problem after we take him here. The first time he was insanely itchy for a week and the second time it seemed as though he maybe got into ants. He had little red bumps all over his two front legs. My dog has always had sensitive skin (he has to be on specific food or his hair falls out), so maybe it is just him.
It isn’t a park Id take my dog to on a regular basis since it is a pain having to bathe him after each visit. However, it’s a great treat for your pup and he will have the time of his life!

My dog and I LOVE this place. Great to have a dog friendly park around the corner. There are waste bags, shaded seating, beach, sand areas, dog friendly fountains and shower stations. Generous amenities that are free of charge. Most of the dogs and people that go are friendly and nice. Doggie beach is great for dogs to cool down and enjoy play time longer. Feel lucky to have this!

This little park is a great place to take your dogs. If your dog loves swimming, he can jump into the lake with other dogs. There’s also a small wooded area to explore with your dog. The entire area is fenced in and has a small dog area for the little ones.
The park is mostly shaded for those who don’t want to get sun, but it also has areas out in the sun if you want some sunshine.
Parking is minimal which is the only reason for four stars instead of five since it can be a little difficult getting in and out.
There is also a playground outside of the dog park area for the human kids and I’ve seen adults do Zumba as well. Overall it’s a fun place to take the family and relax for a few hours. Just be sure to wear old clothes and bring lots of towels.

This park was awesome! Our 3 year old miniature dachshund had the time of her life today! She loved the water and running in the huge open park. Park was very clean, we had a great time and can’t wait to go back!

I was introduced to this stunning and scenic trail recently when a friend and I decided to go for a run/​walk. I knew it existed but didn’t realize the extent of the trail. We arrived after work around 6pm on a weekday and met near the steps at the foot of some of the major restaurants, Colibri and Gator’s Dockside. The weather was beautiful and lots of people were out. We covered the entire perimeter of the lake and I was impressed by how clean and well maintained it was. The whole time I thought that this would be the perfect place to walk a couple of my dogs as I am sure it would tire them out. We also passed Fleet Peeples Dog park along the way which would be ideal for a stopping point for them.
You’ll see runners, walker, bicyclists (stay on the right hand side for that reason), rollerbladers, etc. Not a bad place for people watching either. I would definitely come here in the light of day but not so much very late at night because certain parts are probably not as well lit.
Overall this is a great place to go to, get fit and experience the outdoors.

Our corgi, instinctively knows when we’re approaching Lake Baldwin Park (Formally Fleet Peeples Park). His head will pop in and out of both windows, he’ll start to drool, and I swear he grins at us.
He can hardly wait to hop out of our car. He’ll hit his regular pee spot just before the double gates. He’ll then give us one anxious and excited poop before running off like his tail is on fire toward the water and all the butts he can sniff.
THE DOG BEACH OR IS THAT DROOL ON MY LEG OR???:
This is a off leash park, so if your squeamish about dogs jumping on you, getting muddy and drooled on, you may want to hang back or pick an on leash park. This is also a very social place for dogs, so if you have a shy one or dog that doesn’t like company-​again you may want to stay away from the water or pick another park or stick to just outside the fence near the dock.
Most owners watch their dogs and everyone is pretty responsible about breaking up overly excited dogs that get to rowdy.
If its a hot or windy day you may smell the pop emanating from the covered trash bins, but just move and it shouldn’t be a problem… why wouldn’t you move? o_​O
I suggest wearing shorts you don’t mind getting dirty and flip flops. The sand near the water gets a little muddy and your shoes will get stuck.
We usually don’t have a problem running ankle deep into the water with our pup but I wouldn’t go any farther as depending on the season there could be a ton of crazy bacteria in the water. It’s generally not for swimming regardless since it’s a giant toilet for the dogs.
There are plastic chairs people have bought, and cement seating in certain areas. If you want to bring your own you can, just note it will get sandy/​muddy and possibly peed on.
The park has a few entrances, the two and the main parking area, one near the playground, and another through the woods that takes you around Lake Baldwin-​this is the only one that doesn’t have a fence or door, so just keep an eye on your dog and make sure he doesn’t follow little red riding hood into the woods.
THE PARK OR WHERE THE HAIRLESS KIDS PLAY:
The park offers restrooms, plenty of doggy bags, a community board where people post up lost and found, animal or community related events and even collars and tags left behind. There is also a little book nook where people have donated books for others to take, which is very very awesome!
You’ll also find a bathing station connected to the restrooms where you can stand your dogs and rinse them off or give them a full bath.
There are also water fountains, they’re a little gross, so I just bring my own water.
Just outside the park is a boat dock, a lot of grassy space for training, and a playground for the little or not so little kids.
If you want to take a walk around Lake Baldwin just follow the path around, you can bring your bike, skates, or just jog around-​if you’re slow it can take an hour or less but it’s a great view. My pup was definitely tired after the walk.
This park as a nice community following and everyone tries to keep it clean for the next person. You’ll also find beautiful pieces of art carved into the trees. It’s fun to search for them all over the park!
This is one of the best dog parks in the state and I arguably the country. Once you go here, there’s no point going to any other dog park.

There is a small dog area now!
Not many people take advantage but it’s great for small pups to spend either the entire time in or if they need a break from the big pups. It doesn’t have much going on in it but so happy there is a separate part, fenced in for the little pups.
The dog wash area is larger now too which is awesome. Still a ton of traffic but if you have pups, take them here and let them explore. Everyone I have come in contact with here who brings their pups out are very nice.
