Description
  • The average temperature at Lakeland, Florida is 74 all year round. This is the metropolis of Polk County and has a permanent population of 25,000. Being 227 feet above sea level, it is tempered by breezes from the Ocean and the Gulf which are within easy riding distance. Fishing, bathing and boating can be enjoyed on the 15 fresh water lakes which lie within the city limits with a recreational director managing weekly events. Two eighteen hole golf courses, a public library, air conditioned first run moving picture houses and a municipal-owned water and electric plant are some of its many advantages.
