The park is designed for nature lovers and provides families, organizations and community groups with several recreational activities and scenic views. Minutes away from some of Orlando’s largest attractions, Bill Frederick Park also serves as the perfect alternative to hotel lodging.

The city has now installed power to the pavilion at the Drone Zone! The upgraded amenity now includes a shelf and multiple outlets allowing participants to charge their battery packs without leaving the site.
