“Fantastic team environment, so peaceful and great access to everything in the coast!”

The vision of Peter Lord for a retreat center in Florida is still vibrant and attractive. The Park Avenue Retreat Center is a most comfortable place to gather for intimate spiritual fellowship. The accommodations are sharp and up-to-date with charm and class. The staff is welcoming and personable, ready to meet every need. The legacy of encouragement for spiritual growth exudes from every pore of the place and people. The Park Avenue Retreat Center is perfect for small groups or gatherings of 50-60, providing cozy spaces for men and women. An hour from Orlando and fifteen minutes from the beach, the Park Avenue Retreat Center sets the standard for gatherings for spiritual advancement for a community and individuals

I've had the blessing to do ladies' and marriage retreats at the Park Avenue Retreat Center several times. The rooms are beautifully decorated with a Scripture theme, down to the smallest detail, which welcomes you into the presence of the Lord. We've been able to enjoy food from the Cafe, making it easy for a group to have everything they need right on the property. Speaking of the property, the chapel is a quiet place to spend some time in prayer or just sitting and listening to the Lord. Bench seats around the area give a respite during a stroll through the grounds. I have loved the prayer walk, allowing a serene time to pray and seek. The staff, from registration to the lovely retreat hostess, are wonderful and easy to work with for different needs. I always look forward to time at this retreat center!

We love Park Avenue Retreat Center! Over the years Special Gatherings has come with groups from 20-50 members. Every aspect of each experience exceeded our expectations. The facility is beautiful, all staff were so helpful and accommodating and the dining experience rates a 5-star review. We are so blessed to call Park Avenue home for all our Retreats.

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to you and the Park Ave Retreat Center for allowing us to use your facilities to host a group of Pastors and their wives. The individual rooms were very nice and clean. Several of the wives made great comments about how much they enjoyed staying in their rooms. The Kitchen and lobby were perfect for our group size. Thanks again and we hope to see you soon for another retreat.
