LAKE WALES CONNECTED  | Lake Wales, FL (2024)

City staff and members of Main Street appreciate everyone’s patience as we revitalize the downtown historic district. The primary goal is to create a fantastic street lined with trees, flowers and landscaping to create a beautiful environment for residents and visitors to commute to area establishments. Cathedral live oak trees, rain gardens and hanging flower baskets will line Park Avenue. Other enhancements include enlarged sidewalks, clay-brick street pavers and on-street parking.

Rich in history, the City of Lake Wales was originally intended to be a “City in a Garden.”The “Lake Wales Connected” plan pays homage to the visionaries and landscape architects led by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. known for designing the landscape for Bok Tower Gardens, among other famous projects.

Back in January 2019, City residents, City staff and business and property owners engaged in public meetings to define a future vision for the historic downtown district and Northwest Neighborhood.

The “Lake Wales Connected” plan pays homage to the 1920s visionaries and landscape architects led by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., also known for designing the landscape for Bok Tower Gardens and many prominent Washington, D.C. landmarks.
