Kryger Park is located on the west side of Lake Mirror overlooking the promenade. The park is adjacent to the Lake Mirror Tower and it can be seen from Massachusetts Avenue. Kryger Park was made possible through a generous donation from his widow Lynn Fischer-Kryger and the Kryger family as a tribute to Dr. Allen Kryger.
Dr. Allen Kryger was a scientist and local businessman who specialized in the manufacture of citrus flavoring. He was born in Chicago and attended Notre Dame. He later received a doctorate of organic chemistry from Iowa State University. Kryger founded three Lakeland companies that specialized in citrus extracts and flavorings. He was an active community volunteer, philanthropist and a dedicated family man.
Please join the City of Lakeland and the Kryger family in celebrating the opening of Kryger Park. The public is invited to enjoy a brilliant fireworks display and the smooth sounds of jazz as Kryger Park is introduced to the community during this family friendly dedication.
