University Park sits on Orlando’s eastern suburban plain in central Florida, where residential streets connect with the broader University of Central Florida area. The Econlockhatchee River runs through eastern Orange County, while lakes, wetlands and pine flatwoods remain part of the region’s underlying Florida landscape. The University of Central Florida, founded in 1963, is one of the area’s defining institutions; its main campus lies north of the community and shapes local life through education, research and events. University Park is best understood as part of the expanding Orlando urban area rather than a separate historic town.
