Orlando regulates skateboarding and scootering on downtown sidewalks and within Lake Eola Park to protect pedestrians. Designated skate parks accommodate recreational use, while micro-mobility scooters operate under shared-mobility pilot rules.
Orlando City Code restricts skateboarding on certain downtown sidewalks, in business-district pedestrian zones, and within Lake Eola Park to prevent collisions and property damage to public benches and rails. Designated skate facilities including the Festival Park ramps accommodate recreational use. Shared electric scooters (Lime, Bird, Spin) operate under city pilot agreements requiring designated parking corrals, geofenced no-ride zones, and posted maximum speeds. Riders must follow traffic laws, yield to pedestrians, and avoid sidewalks where prohibited. Personal e-scooters under Florida Statute §316.2128 share roadway and bike-lane access with bicycles.
Skateboarding in restricted zones, riding e-scooters on sidewalks where prohibited, or improper scooter parking results in warnings and civil fines under city code.
