The Frances Langford Promenade (also known as the Lake Mirror Promenade) is a historic site in Lakeland, Florida. It is located between Lemon Street and Lake Mirror Drive. On January 27, 1983, it was added to the US National Register of Historic Places. The project was built in two phases and completed in 1928. Charles Leavitt of New York was the designer. In 1946, the City of Lakeland dedicated the promenade to Lakeland native Frances Langford for her entertainment career that was escalated through her work with the USO during WWII. In 2013, the City re-dedicated the promenade and installed a new historic marker.
