City of Lakeland Neighborhoods

Living up to its name, Lakeland is dotted with lakes. Lake Parker is the largest lake in the area. It features the Bowling Greens Lake Parker Park and the Joker Marchant Stadium, the spring home of the Detroit Tigers.

Lakeland was settled around 1875 when Abraham Munn moved to the area and purchased about 80 acres of land in Central Florida.
