A construction detour is in place until further notice. The trail will be closed in the area of Plant Street and 9th Street in Winter Garden, with a temporary trail constructed while the wooden bridge is removed and replaced. Signs will be in place for directions.

Chapin Station is the main park office for the West Orange Trail. Enjoy the playgrounds, and the Path of Life engraved brick pathway within the garden, sponsored by the Bloom and Grow Garden Society. Tennis and basketball courts are also available in the City of Winter Garden’s Chapin Station Community Park next door.

The Chapin Station pavilion is available to rent, by appointment only. To reserve the pavilion, you must make an appointment with staff; please call our office at 407-654-1108.
