WELCOME TO WINTER PARK W
elcome! Whether you’re new to the area or just relocating within the city, welcome to your new home in Winter Park! Our city has been welcoming residents since 1882 (and students since 1885). Like you, we value our community’s rich history and heritage. Over nearly 140 years, the City of Winter Park has become known for many things, especially its neighborhoods, its historic homes and its first-class shopping and dining experiences along Park Avenue, Hannibal Square, Orange Avenue and other areas. We’re also known for our beautiful chain of lakes, vast parks system, top ranked golf course, extensive tree canopy, popular spring and fall art festivals, “Dinner on the Avenue” and other exciting annual events. We’re proud to be the home of Rollins College, the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, the Rollins Museum of Art (formerly the Cornell Fine Arts Museum), the Albin Polasek Museums & Sculpture Gardens and, opening in late 2021, our new Winter Park Library & Events Center designed by Sir David Adjaye. We’re very proud of our city and the high-quality services that we offer to residents, businesses and guests. We’re also proud of our city staff that delivers those services with one of the lowest property tax rates in the region. I hope that we exceed your expectations as you live, work and play in the best city in Florida — Winter Park. For more information about Winter Park, please visit cityofwinterpark.org or connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Nextdoor, Vimeo and YouTube. If I can be of service to you in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at phil.anderson@cityofwinterpark.org. And again welcome.
