Consider LALtoday your friend who knows all the best places in Lakeland and gives the most accurate directions (take a right at Lake Hollingsworth and a left on South Florida Avenue). We didn’t get here based on our sense of direction alone, though. That’s where our community maps come in.

We use Proxi to create interactive maps that everyone in Lakeland can add to. In case you missed them, here are a few we’ve created so far:

Here’s how you can help other Lakelanders out: If you notice that your favorite spot is missing from one of our maps, you can add it in just a few seconds. Simply click the green icon that says “Add Point,” choose the best-fitting category, and add the location. You can even show off your photography skills and upload a photo.

We’re always on the lookout for new maps to create so you can discover new food, drinks, activities, and events. Is there a map you’d like to see? Let us know what we’re missing and we may grant your wish in our future newsletters
