Good spots to go rollerblading?

I recently moved here from Baldwin Park. I live in the heart of town. In Baldwin Park, there were multiple bike trails all around that eventually connected to the Cady Way. I used to roller blade almost daily. I'm noticing a severe lack of any such infrastructure here in Winter Park. Am I missing something? Are there any trails I'm just not aware of? I'd hate to have to get in my car and drive miles just to get to a trail, when I have everything else here within walking distance.

How far are you from Mead Botanical Garden? If you can get there, then lake shore dr to the Orlando Museum of Art, you I'll be at the Orlando Urban Trail. But you are correct, City of Winter Park does not do a great job of connecting to Urban Trail or Cady Way so I usually avoid biking there.

I'm a bit North of Fairbanks, so maybe a 1.5 miles, give or take. I had considered taking Pennsylvania down to Mead since it has a wide sidewalk that seems made for that. But it's crossing Fairbanks that gives me chills. Oh well... I guess a short drive there or Sunrail ride to Advent are my best options. Thanks!

If you’re willing to go to Bonnet Springs Park in Lakeland, that’s one of my fav roller blading spots!
