PRESERVE. PROTECT. EXPAND.
The mission of Orlando Land Trust is to protect and improve green space for a healthier Orlando.
For its inaugural project, Orlando Land Trust committed to preserve, protect and expand Lake Eola Park. To realize this goal the Trust collaborated with The Trust for Public Land to acquire the Murrell property on the southwest corner of Lake Eola Park and then, convert it into public green space.
This project is consistent with the City of Orlando’s Downtown Vision Plan which recommends a step-down approach to building heights from the center of the city to Lake Eola Park. The commercial building was replaced with an open green space that has become an extension of Lake Eola Park. It will be held in perpetuity for all Orlando’s citizens and visitors for future generations.
