Cranes Roost Lake Park at Uptown Altamonte
Cranes Roost Park may be considered the focal point of Uptown Altamonte located in the heart of Altamonte Springs, Seminole County, Central Florida. Cranes Roost Lake is surrounded by a 1 mile path that many use for walking and jogging. Many use this even just to get in a lunchtime walk. There are areas for picnicking and you will almost always find someone feeding the ducks on the north shore line.
Cranes Roost Park additionally includes the Eddie Rose Amphitheater with its one of a kind floating stage and stadium style seating. You will find free events large and small throughout the year at Cranes Roost Park. The park is just a peaceful place to spend some time and reflect.
