Thornton Park Orlando

Content

Thornton Park is a popular suburb near Downtown Orlando, featuring the city’s most exclusive restaurants, fashion boutiques and historic homes. The neighborhood streets are brick-paved and lined by many antique shops and bakeries.

Lake Eola is a short walk away – perfect for taking a stroll around the park, feeding the lake’s white swans, participating in a free yoga class or visiting the Sunday’s farmers market. On your visit, you'll also find the Greenwood Cemetery just a few minutes south of Thornton Park. Designed and plotted in 1880, the famous cemetery is the final resting place for many of Orlando’s city founders.
