Pallets in Orlando Central Park and Southpark

SOUTHPARK — Orlando Central Park and Southpark are south-side infill districts of low warehouses. Their docks restock the hotels, the parks and the convention center, and the empty pallets that result are among the most predictable in the metro.

Where it is

Orlando Central Park is a warehouse park off Sand Lake Road. One building there, at 2416 Sand Lake Road, is listed as having immediate access to Florida's Turnpike, Orange Blossom Trail (US 441) and Sand Lake Road itself. Further streets in the park include Consulate Drive, Titan Row (just north of Sand Lake Road), Currency Drive and Presidents Drive.

Southpark lies to the south and east. The South Park Business Center on Commodity Circle carries a 32819 address and a listing for it names SR 528, I-4, Florida's Turnpike, SR 417, SR 408 and US 17-92 as the highways within reach.

What the docks ship

Food and beverage deliveries, hospitality goods and event supplies arrive on pallets, get broken down and go out in smaller loads. At a dock like that, the result is a steady pile of empty pallets, most of them 48 x 40. Some are sound enough to sell as Grade B; the rest are cores.

Pallet checklist for a park building

  • Sort by size when pallets come off the truck, not weeks later.
  • Keep sound stock indoors or under a roof.
  • Cores can sit outside, but not against a wall.
  • Check the middle of a stack in August.

Sand Lake Road, end to end

Sand Lake Road is State Road 482, 7.813 miles long. It begins at I-4, exit 74A, and meets International Drive 1.1 miles east of it, Kirkman Road at a single-point urban interchange at 2.98 miles, and John Young Parkway at 3.25 miles. It crosses over Florida's Turnpike and meets Orange Blossom Trail at 4.62 miles, just west of The Florida Mall. At Orange Avenue, at 6.87 miles, its name changes to McCoy Road, and it ends at the Beachline Expressway and Boggy Creek Road, west of the airport.

What the mileposts mean for a driver

The park's buildings lie along this road, so a dock sits between an interstate interchange at one end and the toll road to the airport at the other, with two north-south arterials and the Turnpike between. A request that names the nearest of those crossings, such as Kirkman Road or Orange Blossom Trail, says more about how a truck arrives than any street number would.
