District 1
Commissioner Phil Diamond will host the annual
District Fall Picnic and invites local residents
to join him at Wadeview Park.
“Last
year’s picnic was a tremendous success with over
600 residents and their families enjoying the
activities. I look forward to hosting this event
every year because it offers an opportunity for
citizens to come out and meet their neighbors
and enjoy the fall weather,” said Commissioner
Diamond.
Children of all ages can
participate in a variety of family-friendly
activities at Saturday’s picnic including an
obstacle course, moonwalks, face painting and
demonstrations by the Orlando Police and Fire
Departments, musical entertainment, food and
soft drinks. Attendees will also get a chance to
meet critters from the Central Florida Zoo.
In addition to these activities, the picnic
will also be a day for community service, with a
food drive benefiting the Second Harvest Food
