Welcome to Davenport
Davenport is a small Central Florida city south of Heron Villa. It is distinct from the wider holiday-home areas that use a Davenport postal address, and its traditional city centre provides a different view of the region.
Why Visit?

Wilson Park
Wilson Park is one of the named facilities in Davenport’s municipal parks system. It is best treated as a neighbourhood recreation stop rather than a full-day destination.
Before you go: Confirm the current amenities and any maintenance notices through the City of Davenport before making a special trip.

Lake Play
Lake Play is included among Davenport’s community parks and recreation facilities. It provides another local option when guests want a short break away from the busier resort corridors.

The Traditional City of Davenport
The municipal city is different from the very large holiday-home area that uses a Davenport mailing address. A visit shows the smaller historic community behind the well-known postal name.
Before you go: Enter a precise city-centre address into Maps or Waze. Searching only for 'Davenport' can lead to a different part of the wider area.
Official information ↗Shopping and Places to Eat
Dining and shopping are spread between the city and the larger US 27 and ChampionsGate areas. Check current opening details before making a special journey.
Pamela & George’s Tip
Our suggestion: Be aware that 'Davenport' covers a broad postal area. Use the map destination carefully so you arrive in the City of Davenport rather than a resort community several miles away.
