Reiter Park

I went on a sketch outing with the Orlando Urban Sketchers to Reiter Park, (311 West Warren Ave, Longwood, FL). One of the sketchers Greg Bryla through Dix.Hite + Partners, was involved with the design of the architectural landscaping of the park. I rather liked the sweeping circular motifs. On the top of a stair stepped hill stood a sculpture which features cut out pattern of a flock of birds. Since that patters has hardly visible from the distance I drew it as well across the sky.

The gazebos have barn like roofs which give the childhood drawing impressions of the standard home. Actually a home I am looking at in Upstate New York has a similar roof along with a small widow’s tower.

On October 122, 2020 from 4pm to 9pm there will be a Food Truck Battle and Concert in the Park with Hypersonica. On November 23, 2024 the 48the Annual Longwood Arts and Crafts Festival will be held in the park. That is a two day event starting at 9am each day. March 1, 2025 will be the Longwood Pirate Days Festival from 10am to 6pm.
