By Christina Yacavone April 9, 2025

Did you guess it? This week’s "Where In West Orange" was Bill Breeze Park in Ocoee!

I had to use this location as my event calendar has taken me to this beautiful spot two weeks in a row — and for good reason! With peaceful lake views, open green space, and a constant breeze, it’s the perfect backdrop for community events and family time.

🌟 Why Families Love It:

Located right on the edge of Starke Lake, Bill Breeze Park has plenty of open space, paved walking trails, and gorgeous views that make it an ideal spot to bring a stroller, pack a picnic, or just let the kids run around. It’s also adjacent to the Ocoee Lakeshore Center, which regularly hosts fun, family-friendly events.

🍴 Recent Highlights:

  • Best Fest (last week) brought out some of the area’s best restaurants and businesses for a night of food and drink tasting, hosted by the West Orange Chamber of Commerce.
  • The Ocoee Community Market (this week) was a relaxing Thursday evening filled with artisan vendors, food trucks, and even kid-friendly activities — and good news: it happens the first Thursday of every month!

🏛️ About the Venue:

The Ocoee Lakeshore Center offers several rental spaces, including ballrooms and smaller meeting rooms, plus an adjacent lakeside plaza. If you’re planning a celebration or special event, you can explore all the rental options on their website.

📍 Location: 125 N. Lakeshore Dr, Ocoee, FL 34761
🌳 Tip: Check their calendar for upcoming markets, festivals, and events — there’s always something going on!
