Orlando may be best known for its theme and amusement parks, but the city also has much to offer for visitors looking for nature-oriented outdoor recreational opportunities. More than 148 public parks dot the city's landscape, anchored around its many gorgeous natural lakes and reservoirs. Outside of city limits, natural preserves and wetland areas protect Central Florida's stunning marsh and wetland environments, serving as a haven for a wide variety of native flora and fauna species. Many of Orlando's parks provide great opportunities for watching the city's nightly fireworks celebrations at the nearby Walt Disney World® Resort.
