The balance between reverence for yesterday and vibrant growth is reflected in the Winter Garden slogan, "A City with a Future…Preserving Its Past."  Walking down historic Plant Street or catching a glimpse of landmark buildings like Tanner Hall immediately creates an image of small-town life at its finest in the heart of this quaint Main Street community. At the same time, redevelopment and growth are evident at every turn.  Antique stores, ice cream shops, and charming cafés combine with dynamic new businesses and residential development.  Covering approximately 17 square miles, Winter Garden offers access to the West Orange Trail for biking or jogging in a naturally beautiful setting.  Other amenities include large parks, a public boat ramp on Lake Apopka, and recreational complexes for tennis, swimming, and sports play.  This vast area once covered by citrus groves is rapidly transforming into a suburban environment that preserves the friendly, intimate spirit of yesterday.  Residents enjoy easy access to Highway 50, the East West Expressway, and the Florida Turnpike.
