Colonialtown Square Park is a small passive park in a part of a Colonialtown that has seen several new townhouse developments in recent years. In 2017 the park received three new city benches and two new paved walkways. Also in the park is a beautiful old oak tree providing shade along with lots of manicured plants which create a tranquil, garden like atmosphere.
In 2017 the park received a Pulse memorial. The Pulse was a nightclub frequented by the LGBT community. It opened in 2004 in Orlando Florida. On June 12, 2016, 49 people were killed and 53 people were injured by a lone gunman. Most of the victims were Hispanic because the club was hosting a Latin night. At the time of the incident it was the deadliest mass shooting in the US only to be surpassed by Las Vegas a year later.
The Colonialtown Square Park Pulse memorial features a labyrinth. The Labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness combining the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our center and back again out into the world. Labyrinths have a long history as meditation and prayer tools in memorials. At the center of the labyrinth is a prismatic Orlando United heart and at the perimeter of the circle is the name of each of the victims. Aside from just being a park this land, is now a peaceful place that loved ones can come to honor the Pulse victims.

Nice and quiet
A nice hidden gem. Quiet and shaded areas to sit and relax. Features a pulse memorial tribute.
This park is tucked away from colonial drive and the parking is along the street. It’s quiet due to no playground and has a nice tribute to Pulse. The take a book, leave a book is a nice touch for people looking for a nice place to read.
Beautiful tribute to the victims of the pulse incident as well as a great green space in general. There are two paved areas: one on the North side and one on the South side. Street parking all around except on Fern Creek Ave.
Both sides have benches and green space that are heavily shaded. Plenty of big, mature trees and other plants.

A very nice and peaceful reprieve from the lively Colonial Rd nearby that's tucked away in a very pleasant neighborhood. There is also a beautiful memorial is here for the victims of Pulse.
One of Orlando's many most beautiful places, Colonialtown Square is a small urban utopia sporting a well maintained green, manicured gardens, and reflecting area on the North end.
Don't miss the beautiful old growth oak and Giant elephant ears.
Yogis play, dogs jump, frisbees fly, and all manner of fun things carry on.
