A very
friendly
park
The George Barker Park is named after a former city commissioner and is tucked away in a quiet neighbor of Orlando. It became a park back in 1968 but was extensively renovated in 1996.
The park sits on the shores of Clear Lake and has a very convenient boat ramp for anyone wanting to fish or just mess around on the lake. The water is beautiful and surrounded by cypress trees and huge aquatic birds and the park also has some nice hoop courts, a volleyball pit and several nice pavilions for picnics and gatherings.
The park is definitely a very scenic and pleasant place but what really got by attention was how friendly all the people in the park were. As we were walking around virtually every single person said hello to us and we were even offer some fried chicken from a family picnic. No one asked us what we were doing there or looked at us funny. Everyone in the park was having a good time and were also watching out for everyone else.
There are lots of parks in the world, some are nice, others not so nice. Some are beautiful others not so pleasant to look at. But what really makes a park are the people you meet. George Barker is a neighborhood park but the people welcome everyone. Other parks might be larger or more scenic or more historic but you will not find a park anywhere with nicer or more friendly people. That alone is worth five stars.
