The West Orange Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors along with Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings and Orange County District 1 Commissioner Nicole Wilson celebrated the groundbreaking of Horizon West Regional Park. Located at the intersection of Hamlin Groves Trail and Mann Road in the Horizon West part of Winter Garden, the 215-acre Horizon West Regional Park will host an inclusive playground, restrooms and an event pavilion. These, along with an access road, utilities and parking, are part of the $15.6 million Construction Phase 1A that begins with the groundbreaking. Phase 1B, currently under design, will include a splash pad, hook-ups for farmer’s market and kayak/canoe launch. Construction for Phase 1B, currently budgeted for $5 million, will start after Phase 1A is completed. The property was first opened to hiking and horseback riding in December 2010. This park is one of 110 parks, trails and facilities on nearly 15,000 acres maintained by the Orange County Parks and Recreation Division, which is celebrating 100 years in 2024. In 1924 Wilber and Rose Warren donated 8 acres of land to Orange County, for what became Warren Park on South Lake Conway. To learn more, visit https://www.orangecountyfl.net/cultureparks/parks.aspx.
