Winter Park City Commission meeting set for June 12

The Winter Park City Commission will look to get a selling process underway at their June 12 meeting for piece of property at 1111 W. Fairbanks Ave.

The property, which is the former site of the Bowl America, is set to be up for a notice of disposal, opening up a process where potential buyers can make offers.

Last year Winter Park purchased the piece of land just west of the Walgreens that sits at U.S. 17-92 and Fairbanks Avenue.

But some residents believe the city should keep the property due to its close proximity to Martin Luther King Jr. Park to the north.

At a public meeting on May 2 for the park’s pending master plan, three groups of residents illustrated their own vision of the park on a map.
Two of the three groups suggested building a new softball field on the former bowling alley property to make space for more amenities in the park.
