Parking Update
In the past, we have directed guests to park in the public parking lot located on Alden Road. This land has been sold by the City of Orlando, and as a result, public use of this parking lot has been discontinued as of August 1st. Currently, the City has no plans to create new parking, however, we have been informed by the City that street parking is available for public use on Brookhaven Drive, which is located near the intersection of Virginia and Alden near the Lake Highland tennis courts.
»View Parking Information and Map
Undoubtedly, parking on Brookhaven is inconvenient; however, if you can't find street parking in front on Orange, we encourage you to park on Brookhaven and walk, rather than risking a ticket or tow in a private lot! Adequate parking is vital to the survival of our small retail district. Expect to receive our call to action on this issue later this month.
