Art², is a new kind of park celebrating Orlando’s creative energy and supporting the city’s vision of becoming “An Awesome Outdoor City.”

Downtown Orlando's newest park, Art² Park

A new outdoor space is now open in Downtown Orlando, Art² Park located on the corner of Orange Avenue and Robinson Street is an 'urban pocket park' including a two-story container building that includes various food and drink options, a performance space, covered seating, two rotating food trucks, and more.



À La Cart - a local food park organization is in charge of operations at Art², with the space now home to some of our city's beloved small businesses, like Phat Ash Bakes and Red Panda Noodle, and newer concepts like Eighty Twenty burgers through the Culinary Collective.


Art² will be hosting a ton of events throughout the year. During a typical day, park visitors will enjoy an upbeat and positive vibe from the background music and digital art on the large LED screens.


The kind of vibe that will keep your foot tapping to the beat while you’re having a networking meeting or during a peaceful break from the office in the fresh air, enjoying lunch.



When you visit the new park, you gotta check out the Urban Mirage 1 mural which blends bold cubist shapes, tropical hues, and detailed imagery from Florida’s natural landscape.


A key focal point is a depth-filled perspective scene inspired by a real photo of downtown Orlando’s skyline. Swans and paddle boats, familiar sights on Lake Eola Park, have been added to reflect the city's local identity and to invite viewers into the scene.


The design uses 3D illusions, gradients, and shadowing to create a visual portal that draws visitors in - perfect for exploration, inspiration, and Instagram-worthy moments.


Funded by the City of Orlando's Community Redevelopment Agency, Art² is all about celebrating Orlando's artistic energy and building on the vision of an "Awesome Outdoor City" as outlined in the DTO Action Plan, a bigger effort to reimagine downtown's core.


The new Urban Mirage 1 Mural is officially complete at the future Art² Park in Downtown Orlando
