You step off Central Boulevard and the lake pulls your pace—lapping, reflecting, and daring you to look closer. Down the path a fountain sprays like a city exhale; sculptures punctuate lawns and palms lean as if to eavesdrop. This is Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando: a compact loop of public art, park benches, swan boats and skyline views, set against a placid body of water formed in a natural sinkhole.
