The City of Winter Garden will celebrate the official grand opening of Tucker Ranch Holistic Health & Wellness Park and Botanical Garden with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, October 23. The event marks the completion and public opening of a 25.6-acre addition to the 209-acre Tucker Ranch Park and Nature Preserve.
The ceremony will begin at 10 am, followed by guided group tours and refreshments from 10:30 am to noon. Gates will open at 9:30 am and remain open until 6 pm.
The public is invited to attend the celebration at Tucker Ranch Holistic Health & Wellness Park and Botanical Garden, located at 100 Avalon Road in Winter Garden. Hosted by the City of Winter Garden, the event will bring together city officials, local dignitaries, and community health and construction partners to mark the opening of this new community destination.
Following the park’s groundbreaking in August 2024, construction has brought the vision for this expansive wellness and nature destination to life. The new addition offers a variety of amenities designed to encourage wellness, recreation, education, and connection with nature.
Highlights include an extensive botanical garden; The Retreat Center, featuring a 5,000-square-foot indoor venue and screened patio; and The Ranch House, which includes a demonstration kitchen and an outdoor patio with a fireplace. Visitors can also explore nature paths, a labyrinth, a trail system with exercise nodes, a boardwalk, and a covered pavilion overlooking the water.
The project also preserves a connection to the area’s history. The historic masonry arch from the former West Orange Country Club has been preserved and relocated within the park, where it now serves as the entrance to the new botanical garden.
Walking paths connect the new wellness park and botanical garden to the existing Tucker Ranch Park and Nature Preserve, creating an expanded opportunity for residents and visitors to enjoy the natural surroundings and outdoor amenities.
The City of Winter Garden invites residents and the public to join in celebrating the opening of this addition to the community’s parks and recreational offerings.
