Kraft Azalea Park (alternatively, Kraft Azalea Garden) is a scenic public park located in the city of Winter Park, Florida just north of Orlando, Florida. The park is bordered by Lake Maitland on the North and West.

The park includes a stone arc near the water’s edge perfect for photoshoots. Fishing: Common fish to catch include largemouth bass, carp, bluegill, gar, and tilapia.

The Scenic Boat Tours, a well-established boat tour from downtown Winter Park routinely passes by the park. The Exedra monument, which is viewable from the boat tour, has been used for photo shoots and weddings.[1]

Physical Location

The park is located in a residential area with very limited parking. Entrance to the park is located on 1363 Alabama Drive in Winter Park, Florida.

Bordering Lake Maitland, the park is illuminated by plants, flowers, and beautiful oak trees. Lake Maitland is the largest lake in the Winter Park Chain of Lakes. The Winter Park Chain of Lakes consists of six lakes: Lake Virginia, Lake Mizell, Lake Osceola, Lake Maitland, Lake Nina and Lake Minnehaha. Kraft Azalea Park is located near one of the many canals connecting this chain. In addition, the Rollins College is accessible from this chain of lakes and most visible from Lake Virginia. From the small dock, Dog Island, a popular spot for families can be seen.
