Lakeland: Lakeland Swan at Lake Morton Lakeland: This is just one of the many parks where I live in Lakeland, Florida. All of the parks here have a lot of real swans, ducks and geese. There are big painted swans all over the town almost on every street corner but, this park at Bistro Gardens has it all including a flower garden and small waterfall and I have to say that this one is my favorite of them all.
