Eagle Nest Park

Eagle Nest Park is a 160-acre green space located in the southeastern part of Orlando, Florida. The park serves as a natural oasis within the urban landscape, offering visitors a blend of recreational opportunities and wildlife observation.

The park features well-maintained paved walkways that wind through lush greenery, providing pleasant paths for walking, jogging, or leisurely strolls. One of the park's most notable features is its abundant wildlife, particularly its avian inhabitants. The park is aptly named for a pair of bald eagles that have nested there for many years, making it a popular spot for birdwatchers.

In addition to eagles, visitors may observe a diverse range of birds including storks, herons, and ospreys. The park's ecosystem also supports other wildlife such as fish, small mammals, turtles, and occasionally alligators.

Eagle Nest Park serves as a trailhead for the Shingle Creek Trail, connecting it to a larger network of outdoor spaces in the area. The park's design incorporates both natural areas and developed recreational facilities, catering to various interests and activities.

For those interested in learning about the local ecosystem, the park provides educational opportunities through interpretive signage placed throughout the grounds. These signs help visitors identify various plants and animals, enhancing the park's role as an outdoor classroom.
