Iโm super excited for this to finally happen! Whoโs down for some surf lessons??
๐โจ BIG DEVELOPMENT UPDATE FOR HORIZON WEST! โจ๐
The vision for Orlando Surf Park is still making waves โ and new plans are officially in the works. Proposed as a 44-acre sports and lifestyle complex featuring a 15-acre surf lagoon, Orlando Surf Park aims to bring a world-class inland surfing experience right here to Horizon West. ๐ค๐ฅ
The concept includes:
๐๏ธ Beach volleyball
๐บ Cabanas & tiki-bar vibes
๐ฝ๏ธ A full restaurant
๐๏ธ Surf superstore + specialty shops
๐ถ Live entertainment
But before construction can begin, several key items must be addressed. Orange County previously denied the initial proposal due to environmental, transportation, landscape, sidewalk, and fire-safety concerns. The county is now awaiting updated, improved plans from the developer.
Whatโs next?
๐ The developer will revise the site plan
๐ County staff will re-evaluate the updates
๐ณ๏ธ A new decision will follow once the resubmittal is complete
So while the surf park isnโt approved yet, momentum is still building โ and many in the community are watching closely as plans evolve. Horizon West may still catch this waveโฆ it just needs more time. ๐๐
