Colonialtown Square

A Green Retreat in the City

Located in the heart of Colonialtown North, this charming urban green space offers a peaceful escape from Orlando's busy streets. It's the kind of place where you can breathe a little deeper and feel your shoulders relax as you step inside.

What makes this park special are its garden areas and magnificent shade trees that create cool pockets of relief during those warm Florida afternoons. An impressive old oak tree stands as the natural centerpiece, spreading its branches wide as if welcoming everyone who visits. Colonialtown Square is a place where nature and recreation blend together in the midst of the city.

Explore & Unwind

The park's thoughtful design includes open spaces great for whatever suits your mood - whether it's a casual walk, a picnic with friends, or just finding a quiet spot to decompress.

Meandering paths invite you to wander and discover the park's landscaped beauty at your own pace. Since 2017, the improved paved walkways and new city benches have made the experience even more enjoyable for everyone.

One of the nice things about this park is its central location - it's easily accessible for nearby residents, creating a sense of neighborhood connection. If you're looking for a tranquil spot to read a book or gather your thoughts, you'll come across the quiet atmosphere here particularly inviting.

A Small Park with Big Impact

Despite its compact size, Colonialtown Square provides a sanctuary for urban wildlife and adds to the neighborhood's green spaces.

The trees and plants here help clean the air and provide essential shade throughout the Colonialtown area. The well-maintained plantings create a garden-like feel that enhances the peaceful vibe of this modest yet meaningful space.

A Place of Remembrance

Perhaps the most touching aspect of Colonialtown Square is the Pulse memorial added in 2017, honoring those lost in the June 12, 2016 tragedy at Pulse nightclub.

The memorial features a thoughtfully designed labyrinth - an ancient symbol representing wholeness and journey - intended as a space for meditation and reflection. At its center sits a prismatic Orlando United heart, while the names of all 49 victims line the perimeter.

This meaningful addition has transformed the park into something more than a green space - it's become a place where the community can remember, reflect, and heal together.

The Little Extras

A charming little free library operates on a "take a book, leave a book" honor system, making this an even more appealing destination for readers and thinkers.

There's street parking available nearby, and the park's location - set back from the bustle of Colonial Drive - helps maintain its peaceful atmosphere. Without a playground (and the excited shouts that typically come with one), the park preserves its tranquil character, making it particularly appealing if you're seeking a bit of quiet in your day.
