Big Tree Park

Big Tree Park is a small urban park located in Orlando, Florida. The park's main attraction is its namesake "big tree" - a massive live oak that is considered to be the oldest tree in Orlando. Experts estimate the tree to be between 350 and 400 years old.

The ancient oak provides a focal point and shaded area within the park. Its sprawling canopy and thick, gnarled branches are a testament to its longevity. The tree predates the founding of Orlando itself, offering visitors a living connection to the area's natural history.

Beyond the signature oak, Big Tree Park consists of open green space. The park provides a quiet spot for relaxation or recreation within the city. Its compact size makes it more of a neighborhood park than a major destination.

While amenities are limited, the park offers a chance to appreciate Orlando's natural heritage and spend time outdoors in a historic setting. The ancient oak serves as both a local landmark and a reminder of the impressive trees that once dominated the landscape before urban development.
