Discover Islandia
3 carefully curated photography spots with GPS coordinates, shooting tips, and local insights
Lakeland County Park
Small family-friendly park with wooded boardwalks, a pond with ducks and turtles, and playgrounds. Best for intimate nature and waterscape shots—good textures from wetland plants and leading lines from wooden walkways. Visit early morning or golden hour on weekdays for soft light and few people. Free entry, roadside parking at 176 Johnson Ave; paths are stroller-friendly. Note occasional poor water clarity and active kids—bring patience and situational awareness.
Islandia Baseball Field and Park
Small suburban baseball field and park offering clean lines, manicured grass, dugouts and scoreboard — good for location studies of sports, local recreation and community life. Best light: golden hour for warm textures or blue hour for stadium lights. Easily accessible by car with on-site parking; no entry fee. Weekdays have fewer players. Modest but photogenic for environmental portraits, action shots and composition exercises.
1345 Motor Parkway
Suburban commercial stretch on the historic Motor Parkway — good for clean modern-architecture shots, road-leading-line compositions, glass reflections and vehicle motion studies. Easy roadside access and street parking near office parks; some lots may be private so photograph from sidewalks or ask permission. Best light at golden hour (sunrise faces north-east here; late-afternoon light sculpts facades). Weekday mornings near rush hour are busier; blue hour yields building lights and car trails
