Changes to city website

This week, the city’s most comprehensive resource, cityofwinterpark.org, may look a little different. The city has been working to transition its website into a new content management system (CMS) and users will notice a fresher, more up-to-date design.

With this transition and because of the tremendous amount of information that was migrated into the new CMS, you may experience broken links. If this occurs, please email [email protected] with the page where you found the error and our Communications Department will correct it as quickly as possible. By transitioning to this new system, you will also need to update any bookmarks that have been saved previously, as the page address will be different. Thank you for your patience and support during this transition.
