Projects revamp Lorna Doone and Camping World Stadium
Big changes have come to the small neighborhood of Lorna Doone. This community is part of Orlando's West Lakes District, a collection of neighborhoods that have suffered from decades of underinvestment. However, public officials, nonprofit groups and business executives are leading projects to revitalize the area. A new health center has brought medical care closer to residents and park renovations have created a central neighborhood hangout. Lorna Doone centers around Camping World Stadium, a sports and concert venue that’s getting upgrades of its own.
Lake Lorna Doone Park underwent renovations in 2020 and 2021. This statue commemorates the first integrated Little League game played in the South, hosted at the park in the 1950s.
Camping World Stadium is Orlando's venue for sporting events, large concerts and music festivals.

Homes with lake views and recent renovations
Industrial buildings and the Camping World Stadium complex take up much of the neighborhood, forcing houses to cluster to the north and southwest of Lake Lorna Doone. There aren’t lakefront homes, but some houses come with front-porch views of the water. Fresh paint jobs and well-kept gardens signify that many of the midcentury homes are kept up, but some houses need to be renovated or even demolished. There haven’t been any recent home sales, but the neighborhood’s median single-family price is in the mid-$200,000s, which is less than both the Orlando and national medians.

Investments in local health care, education and more
The city government, local businesses and nonprofits have worked in recent years to revitalize Lorna Doone and surrounding neighborhoods. For example, West Lakes Partnership rehabilitates homes, beautifies neighborhoods with artwork and offers a credit repair program for homeowners and renters. Other efforts in the area have focused on construction projects, such as:
Heart of West Lakes Wellness Center, a health clinic that opened in 2023
West Lakes Early Learning Center, a preschool that opened in 2020
Camping World Stadium renovations, a $400 million upgrade that’ll wrap up in 2027
Bowl games and festivals at Camping World Stadium
At the heart of Lorna Doone, Camping World Stadium hosts many of the sporting events, concerts and festivals that come to Orlando, so potential buyers need to be aware that residents can expect noise from the stadium’s events. Ramelle Macgregor, a Realtor at Keller Williams Winter Park, lives nearly a mile outside the neighborhood in Spring Lake, and she can hear live music from the stadium. “It can be a good or bad thing, depending on if it’s a good concert.” It’s the longtime home of the Citrus Bowl, an annual college football bowl game. Some years, as many as three bowl games are played at the stadium in December. Artists including The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith have rocked the venue, and music festivals continue to use Camping World Stadium. Next door, Tinker Field welcomes 300,000 people for the annual Orlando EDC electronic music festival.
Waterfront parks include the renovated Lake Lorna Doone Park
The city of Orlando, Florida Citrus Sports and the NFL spent $8 million to enhance Lake Lorna Doone Park, which now has putting greens, a lakeside trail and a playground designed for children with disabilities. The upgrades have made the park a popular hangout. “If you go to a concert at the stadium, you'll see people riding bikes and just a lot of activity in general,” says Rochelle Warriner, a Realtor with United Realty Preferred. “You see a lot more families and people just enjoying the area now." The neighborhood is also within 2 miles of other lakeside parks, including:
Lizzy Rodgers Park, home to a playground and shaded trails next to Sunset Lake
George Barker Park, with a volleyball court and boat ramp at Clear Lake
Roosevelt Martin Park, where you’ll find a basketball court and fishing pier alongside Lake Mann
The basketball court is often busy at Lake Lorna Doone Park.
The playground at Lake Lorna Doone Park is accessible for all children.

Neighborhood access to state Road 408, Lynx buses
It’s a 2-mile drive to the Central Business District, a downtown jobs hub. Instead of driving, you can hop on a Lynx bus on West Central Boulevard and arrive downtown in less than 20 minutes. Florida state Road 408 passes through Lorna Doone, providing a direct route across Orlando and to Interstate 4. You can use the interstate to reach the area’s world-famous theme parks, including Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, in less than 15 miles.
Two Lynx bus routes serve the neighborhood.
Lorna Dune residents can travel easily to downtown and greater Orlando via State Road 408 and I-4.
