It is a relatively shallow lake which is located on the northeast side of the city. The lake has inflow from several from lakes including Lake Mirror and Bonny Lake and flows out to both Saddle Creek and the Peace River.

Lake Hollingsworth is located near the city center and has an area of 350 acres. A walking path and Lake Hollingsworth Drive entirely circumnavigate the lake. Florida Southern College is located on the north side of the lake and contains several campus buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Bird-watching is popular at the lake and sightings include roseate spoonbills, white pelicans, black-bellied plovers, and long-billed dowitchers.

The Swans that live in abundance on many of Lakeland's lakes have a long history. Although swans were recorded to live on the lakes as far back as 1923, they were totally eradicated by alligators and pets by 1954. Queen Elizabeth, upon receiving a letter from a Lakeland resident, allowed the capture and gifting of two royal swans. As a result of this, all of the swans living today on the lakes of Lakeland today are descendants of these royal swans.

The city of Lakeland blends historic charm with modern amenities and facilities. It is home to central Florida’s entertainment, sports and convention complex, The Lakeland Centre, which hosts more than 500 events held each year including conventions, Broadway shows, concerts, sporting events and consumer shows.
