Facilities

The Chapel

The Arthur J Williams Chapel

Through the kind generosity of Arthur J. Williams, the chapel at Edgewood Children’s Ranch was dedicated to the Glory of God in May, 2000. In addition to the chapel itself, which seats 400, the building contains Sunday School rooms, conference room, office and a prayer room.

Playground Park

The Bob Allen Playground Park

In 1990, community volunteers erected a large playground. It is a safe place for the children to play and just be kids again as they develop or gain physical health. The playground is in memory of Bob Allen, former president of Walt Disney World and a dear friend of Edgewood Children's Ranch.

Chicone Gymnasium

In September 2002 Edgewood was blessed when a much needed gymnasium facility was dedicated in memory of Maude Lee Chicone and Jerry J. Chicone, Sr., who came to Winter Garden in the 1920's. Even after moving in the 1950's the couple remained supportive of that West Orange County community. The gym was made possible by their daughter, Kay Chicone Ustler. She and her brother, Jerry Jr., continue to be very active in Winter Garden.

Exercise Room

Our Exercise Room is filled with top notch weight and exercise equipment all donated from Lake Nona and friends in the community.

“The Filling Station”

"The Filling Station" Cafeteria

Universal Orlando remodeled the cafeteria, known as "The Filling Station." It is a popular site on campus where the Ranchers enjoy wholesome food which is donated by the community.

Edgewood Ranch is located on Lake Hiawassee in Southwest Orlando. In 1968 110 acres of land was donated to the Edgewood program by “Aunt” Minnie Rouse. This generous donation is now the site of eight residential cottages, two school buildings, a chapel, gymnasium, and warehouses.
