Airport Lakes Park

A large park just north of MCO with lake views and aircraft on approach, plus disc golf, a soccer field and a playground. A relaxed place to spend time before a flight. Two practical notes from regular visitors: maintenance is inconsistent with overgrown paths and litter in places, and the wooded sections are best avoided - stick to the open areas and paved paths, particularly with children or pets. Alligators are present in the water.
