Let’s transform a neglected site into a community park that honors our history.
The Fort Gatlin Historical Group is made up of your Neighbors. We are working with you and the rest of the community to have our local leaders preserve this historical site.
The former Navy Sound Lab was gifted to OCPS but has been left vacant, boarded up and unmaintained for too long.
Before the Navy built the sound lab, it was the site of Fort Gatlin. Where Orlando began almost 200 years ago.
This area is filled with historical significance, we are asking for your help and support to see this site preserved, and turned into something the entire community can enjoy and learn about where and how Orlando began.
As a public park—complete with educational displays, a waterfront path, family amenities—while preserving the area’s frontier and naval history.
We’re meeting with officials, gathering input, and keeping the community informed as we move toward a park plan that reflects our shared values.
