Baldwin Park is a master-planned community located in the city of Orlando, Florida, United States. The community was established through a public-private partnership tasked with redeveloping the area being vacated by the Naval Training Center Orlando, which closed in 1994. The resulting community was a pedestrian focused blend of high density residential, commercial and recreational living popularly referred to as New Urbanism. The estimated population as of 2020 was 8,405. It is part of the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area

The first houses to be built broke ground in 2003.
