MetroWest is
a family-oriented, master planned golf community situated on 1800 acres in southwest
Orlando. The concept of MetroWest was born over 20 years ago when a group of insightful
developers outlined the vision of a true urban village in which people could live
comfortably, conduct business, play championship golf, and admire an impeccably
maintained landscape, while still having the benefit of the most convenient location
in all of Central Florida. What
was once only a vision is now a reality, manifested in the vibrant, thriving master-planned
community of Metrowest. Approximately 1200 acres in Metrowest are either being
developed or have been developed already with single family homes, condos or commercial
real estate. The remaining 600 acres are reserved for green space, including golf
courses and landscaped roadways. 

Turkey Lake - Bill Frederick
Park Turkey
Lake Park is conveniently located within Metrowest and hosts the annual Fish
Orlando! event. In order to limit fishing pressure and maintain quality, boat
fishing is limited (outside of special events) to five boats, Thursday - Sunday
from 6:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. The Citys boat concession area also rents fishing
poles and sells a limited selection of bait and tackle. These loaner boats are
the only way the public can legally fish Turkey Lake from a watercraft. Turkey
Lake Park offers camp sites, primitive cabins, a swimming pool, numerous picnic
pavilions and bathrooms, a kids playground area, a Frisbee golf course and a mock-up
of a Florida Cracker farm. For boat loaner reservations call Turkey
Lake Park at 407-299-1248. For other Park questions call 407-299-5581. The history
of Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake goes back to the 1970's when it was a visionary
purchase during Mayor Carl Langford's administration. Fortunately, Mayor Bill
Frederick and Mayor Glenda Hood recognized the value of keeping this recreational
and ecological jewel maintained and sustained for future generations. On January
24, 2004, the City of Orlando's largest park was renamed in honor of Mayor Bill
Frederick to Bill
Frederick Park at Turkey Lake.
