Hollis Garden is a formal garden on the shore of Lake Mirror, adjacent to the downtown promenade and one of the most pleasant public spaces in Lakeland. The garden is arranged in a symmetrical pattern around a central fountain and reflecting pool, with seasonal plantings, manicured hedges, and the kind of geometric formality that is unusual for a Florida public park.
The garden is small enough to walk through in 20 minutes but provides a beautiful setting for a longer pause. It is directly connected to the Lake Mirror promenade and makes a natural extension of any walk around the downtown lakes. Free to enter, open during daylight hours.
