Lake Park, Georgia, located
14 miles south of Valdosta,
was incorporated in 1890
and named so because of the many
beautiful lakes in the region. Lake Park
residents enjoy fishing, boating and
sailing year-round in its temperate
climate. Shopping is also a year-round
favored activity with the convenient
location of the Lake ParkOutlet stores and Farm House Plaza,
which also includes an antiques mall, both located directly off I-75
on exit 5.
Home to the popular Francis Lake
Golf Club, this Florida-Georgia
gateway town has a population of
slightly over 500 and is expecting
marked growth as a new retirement
community for 55 or better, Southern
Landing, broke ground in June, 2007.
Phase One of five is slated for
construction the latter part of 2010 and will be built around a community
center. The completed development will have a gated entrance to
620 homes, will employ a full-time lifestyle coordinator and feature
walking trails. For an exhaustive list of amenities, visit www.southernlanding.com.

Community comes together often in Lake Park with celebrations
on the Fourth
of July and a Christmas parade and the always
enjoyable Lake Park Georgia
Christmas at the Lakes, displays of
beautifully lit Christmas trees floating
on
area lakes during the holiday
season.
Another jewel in Lake Park's
community crown is the South
Lowndes
Recreational Complex with
baseball, softball, football and soccer
fields
for area youth complete with
pavilion. For additional information,
