After being closed for improvements for what felt like for-ev-er, Cranes Roost Park at Uptown Altamonte finally reopened earlier this summer. Located in the heart of Altamonte Springs and surrounding Cranes Roost Lake, this 45-acre park features a European-style plaza with a choreographed fountain show and a 62-foot picturesque tower.
You'll also find the Eddie Rose Amphitheater with stadium-style seating and a one-of-a-kind floating stage. The much-loved park saw improvements in its sidewalks, streets, boardwalks, lighting, canopies, the fountain and the floating stage.
GO FOR A STROLL
On cooler days and nights the one-mile long boardwalk circling the water offers an ideal way to work off some calories from the ice cream at nearby Cold Stone Creamery. Cranes Roost Park is now pet friendly in most areas. The pet walk path is conveniently mapped out and posted on signage in the park. Pets must be leashed and the pet handler must clean up after the pet.
