Sholom Park began as a vision born in the heart of Sidney Colen, developer of On Top of the World Communities, to create a source of inner peace for all who visit.
Sholom Park was designed as a place to find inner peace and to thrive in the Central Florida climate. The park requires little or no supplemental watering. Native plants are combined with cultivated ornamentals, perennials, and annuals creating a beautiful and resilient landscape. Sholom Park offers a place of natural beauty, comprised of meadows, woodland areas, added flowers and trees, as well as native wildlife for everyone to enjoy.
The walking tour of Sholom Park was sponsored by "Master the Possibilities" program at OTOW. The introduction to the park was given by Robert Colen, nephew of the founder, Sidney Colen, in the pavilion.
Paved walkways meander throughout the park, winding through mature oaks, hickories, sweet gums and long leaf pine trees.

Sholom Park seeks to become a model of land stewardship and the preservation of open space for education and public enjoyment.
