A true glittering city centerpiece, Lake Eola Park's myriad activities, whether walking or jogging the lake's verdant circumference, feeding its multitude of water fowl (there are bird-food dispensers near the playground; please don't feed them bread or popcorn!), enjoying the shade of the live oaks or perusing the wares of the Sunday farmer's market to name a few, are enjoyed by visitor and local alike. Even during the work week, Lake Eola buzzes with activity as 9-to-5ers escape the office for a few and those enjoying leisure time might be paddling about one of its signature swan boats ($15/half-hour; each boat holds up to five adults). Twice-nightly light shows coordinated to music showcase the gorgeous cascading fountain at the center of the lake.
