Bill Frederick Park and Pool at Turkey Lake

This park is huge!
You can do anything from go for walk, have a picnic, camp, take your dog for a walk… etc
I truly enjoy going for a walk here by the lake, although if you bring your dog there’s a $ 2.00 fee you have to pay.
It surprises me that it is located in the middle of a very populated area/​urban area … yet again it’s Florida :)

Beautiful park to spend the day with the family. I highly recommend it. You can also be lucky and watch the rowing team practicing, it is pretty cool!

My go to park as it’s nearby my home. I do wish it had the facility for camping and cabins though. Nonetheless it’s a great family location. I have done several events here for both personal, business and community organizations.
The staff here are very helpful if you’re able to get a hold of them. There are only a few of them doing a vast amount of work. I definitely suggest taking a stop on by!

Our family has an annual membership to introduce park. We love that because it gives us the option to come anytime we be like without having to pay the price of parking each time. We paid a flat fee of $ 80 for the whole household. That is a great price considering all that is offered within the park.
Staff is friendly and makes the process to sign up for an annual pass quick.
Included in the membership is access to boat rentals, fishing, camping, parking, pool access, trail use, Etc. If you choose not to get a membership, these are options for you to choose from one visiting the park. Our family loves coming here and we have many enjoyable memories made at this place.

One of the nicest RV parks! Amazing staff! Clean bathrooms. Tons of room for my dog to run! Very affordable!

This is a very nice park on the west side of Orlando. Disc golf, walking path, play areas, and plenty of open space for fun. They also have some cabins for camping.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
This is my second time staying here. It is so quiet and beautiful. Lovely walking trails throughout the park… Extremely well maintained grounds! The RV park part is fantastic. Not all the sites have full hook ups… But there is a free dump station if you are in the partial hook up spots. The bathrooms and laundry rooms are clean. Lots of stores and restaurants nearby too. I highly recommend it

FAQ on the website said dogs are allowed in city parks, however the park attendant informed us that dogs are not allowed in the picnic area which is pretty much everywhere that isn’t the parking lot.

We camped here in May. Convenient location, great frisbee golf courses. The pool was only opened on the weekend. The bathrooms were seriously nasty. I’m not kidding they were the stuff of nightmares. There was poo in the shower at one point! Ugh!

Disc golfing is the sole reason I go to Turkey Lake. Sure there are other reasons to come here like camping, fishing, the children’s farm, or parties held at the pavilions by the lake. Only the disc golfing for me, please.
There are two courses — easy and hard. The easy one is more open and uncovered. The hard one has more trees and cover. I have played on both courses. I prefer the hard course as it helps keep the sun off of me and is prettier. Though, I’m sure the trees on this course hate me by now…
Today I was there and decided to record my walking by GPS. With two players it takes 3 hours to play (with some resting time) and 4.5 miles to walk through both courses back to back. Today’s workout is complete.
For one car it costs $ 4 to get in the park. You can rent a set of discs at the front entrance for an additional $ 4. A couple of friends of mine joined in on the fun and rented a set a month or so ago. The discs worked just fine.
Just recently some of the nets have been moved around a bit to keep the courses interesting.
The mid-​point of each course is near the parking lot which happens to be next to the bathrooms. So if you wanted to play nine holes you could do so without having to walk the rest of the course to get to your car.
I can’t vouch for the rest of the park but for scenery and disc golfing, it is an excellent park. The farm also provides some passing
I saw the white horse rolling in the grass. Two visits ago I had the most pleasant experience of watching a brown female horse wee. Yeah… My friend and I were taking a picture of the horse and noticed the horse change stances. That’s nature for ya!

Bill Frederick is an okay park as it goes in Florida. First of all, you have to pay $ 4 to get in to the park. I was thinking that since they charged, the park must be great and have a lot of things to do and amenities… WRONG! Yes there is a lot of natural parks but mostly for picnic pavilions. The lake had awful views of apartment complexes and of course you can see the Turnpike in the distance. Yes its nice to have a park in the city but don’t charge me $ 4 when you have nothing to offer. If they just asked for donations, I might give more money to them but to charge a fee? Nah… I wont be back. Sorry.

Great park from my childhood!

There is a lot to explore here, this place rocks, I can’t wait to come back. We didn’t even get to the kids animal farm! Come on a nice sunny day with lots of time and energy to explore.

I don’t like to bad-​mouth any greenspace, but Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake was pretty disappointing.
It’s a big park and probably a very nice choice for a large gathering, with many picnic pavilions. But our visit was for photo ops (being the Instagram addict that I am), and Turkey Lake falls short in that department.
The lake itself is big, but the views are of apartment complexes and the turnpike. The constant sound of the turnpike traffic takes away from the «getting away» experience.
We followed signs for a fishing pier and wound up in a parking lot to nowhere, with only a staff access road to the pier.
It all depends on what you are looking for, but this doesn’t represent pristine Florida at its best.

This is such a pretty park to visit! The park is very big and full of shady trees. If you come here during fall season or winter you will see how pretty the trees look with the orange leaves and orange pine needles that fill the ground. The park also has and rv and campout site. You can host parties here and come for a picnic by the lake. There is also a petting farm that is very cute. It has a couple of horses, goats, 1 hog that was sleeping the whole time, rabbits, turkeys, roosters. There is a pool in the park, and if you like to lay disc golf you can do it here for free. They have three levels. The entrance for the park was $ 4 and its very well worth it.

Great park near Windemere. They have a lake, frisby golf, horse riding, cabins and an RV parking area. Plenty of picnic pavillions for family get togethers. My daughter’s crew team trains and races here.

This is a great little park that gets way too busy in the spring and summer months.
The parking is 2 dollars which isn’t bad, but other parks in the area don’t charge for parking.
There is Frisbee golf, a community pool which is really busy when good weather is around, a small kids play ground and a nature trail.
The park isn’t 100 percent dog friendly, the bike path/​skating path is a 2 mile circle but the circle is a little interrupted by two small roads. and sometimes it isn’t free of debris that can trip up an in-​line skater.
That said, this place is great for kids, they will love it, but adults trying to skate or bike may have some problems.

Pleasant surprise getaway park in Orlando. Great place to go if you are looking to have a picnic with family/​friends and just hang out. Playground is a really good one for the kids. Very big with lots to climb on. There is a bike/​walk trail. Covered pavilions with tables. Just a really nice getaway for the day. Check it out.

Spend the Day!
Turkey Lake Park is a very big park on the West side of Orlando, away from the maddening crowd, as it were. It has plenty of amenities, and there are plenty of things to love about this place!
The Good:
So many facilities!!: This place has bike trails, a pool, an ecology learning area, a baseball field, a playground, volleyball court, and fishing areas. Now if something in that list doesn’t sound like a good time, then you may want to just rule out the park option altogether.
Tourist Friendly!: This place has extensive camp areas, as well as little cabins that travelers can stay in for a small fee. This is the ideal place for out of towners to «rough it» in Orlando.
The Bad
Sharing the Park: As I mentioned above, this place is tourist friendly, which means that if you come on the weekend, you will likely encounter girl and boy scouts, people on company retreats, and all manner of out-​of-​towner that you can imagine. However, these out of towners seem to go away about mid-​october, so go then!
Turkey Lake Park costs $ 4 to get in, so you might as well stay all day and enjoy all of the awesome amenities that this place has to offer.
Overall 6.8÷10

Turkey Lake Park is a big, sprawling City of Orlando park in southwest Orlando. The park offers walking trails, camping, cabin rentals, RV parking, a public swimming pool, a disk golf course, fishing, and even has a small farm. They also host several events throughout the year like crew competitions, holiday events and fishing derbies. The park sits on big, clean Turkey Lake. There is no swimming or power boats allowed in the lake and since they built the buildings across the lake you have lost some of the view.
I’ve stayed at the cabins a few times. They are nothing special but there are nearby bathrooms with showers. The park is a nice escape in the city. You might even see some wildlife at the park.
