Very peaceful. We walked the trails and saw honey bee hives, nice trees and flowers, and some burrows. At the nature reserve we spent some time with the different owls, falcons, eagle, iguana, snake, etc. There is also a cute turtle pond out front. If you are able to help, please bring cash for donations. It helps them feed the animals.

Great place for the family! Unique small playground! Lots of trails, a walkway to the intercoastal waterway, with numerous places to sit and enjoy nature. The pond is abundantly full of turtles and the entire park is full of rabbits, birds and other wildlife. Great for all ages!

Wonderful little gem of a park! We explored the trails and so an abundance of wild life. The nature center is only open on the weekends but even without it the park was a dream. Saw around 5 species of turtles in the pond including the large and in charge alligator snapping turtle. All are used to people so they swim right up to you on the dock. The marshland bridges lead you to a marina to catch a view of the main bridge and soaring birds including the osprey. On the way back we came upon a playground with swings and a zip line. Very safe and just enough thrill. Would definitely come back next time we are in the area.

This place is beautiful. They have a great turtle pond, bird exhibit, and playground. Love to walk the smooth trails and check out the water.

A feel of old Florida. Great nature trail and boardwalk. Birds exhibit was very nice. The turtle pond was great and the kids could feed the turtles. Nice small playground with a few places for adults to sit. Kids loved it!

Everyday see some new WILDLIFE ....Another piece of Paradise! TURTLES GALORE!!:) Nice walk. board walk on water.. great flora and fauna! birds of prey! Bald Eagle.Sarge!Gopher tortoise Resort..Snakes....Dont forget quarters for turtle food..And donation box! Its a great BREAK:)..we go every day! never know what youll see! chairs and benches in shade take a front to nature and Peace! Yellow rat snake today....

Great little gem with some uncrowded trails and lots of wildlife in a small space. The raptors sanctuary is perhaps a little grim—I understand that the birds have been rescued and have various physical limitations but they are blatantly not very happy in their hot cages. Also the many, many turtles in the pond, while fun to look at, probably don’t benefit from being fed out of plastic cups by visitors (and many plastic cups are discarded in or near the water.) The animal welfare aspect of the park leaves a bit to desire. That aside, the park is a change of scenery and a good place to go for a walk.

My family needed a place to kill some time while we waited for our hotel check in time and we came across the nature park while doing a quick Goggle search and decided to check it out. Im so glad we did! The park is absolutely free to the public and theres so much to see and do! The nature park does accept donations and there is a small little gift shop where you can purchase some little items and all the items are priced amazingly well so it definitely doesnt break the bank. The nature park also hosts birthday parties for an amazing rate as well! I highly recommend anyone check out this park. You will not regret it.

Absolutely beautiful! Our most favorite park, we always find or see something new each time we go

Ive been going to this park for a good 25+ years as its walking distance from where I grew up..... the trails are more amazing than ever, I love how they are continuing to update the park...making more trails for exploring!! My little, just turned ONE and Ive been bringing him since a few months old....he is in awe of all the nature surrounding him & he loves to swing... & Im pretty sure he wishes he was a tad bigger so he could play more on the playground I wish I could post videos because pictures dont do it any justice! This park is a must see.Oh, bonus.... if you play Pokémon Go, thhis park is filled with stops and gyms!

Absolutely Beautiful Park. Great walking trails and I Love the wildlife everywhere. The turtles are the highlight for me. Bring some lettuce, you will be shocked at the size of some. My favorite nearby park. I just love it.

Amazing place. Wouldnt even realize its there. Its amazing how such a natural beautiful place is in the middle of the beach town. Definitely have to go. The trails are great. So many bunnies. They have a free tiny tiny zoo of birds that arent fit for the wild. Great place

Nice nature park! Variety of animals and birds too look at. Excellant rubberized path through the park, great for runners!!

I’ve been coming here since I was a child for birthday parties. The bird shows and bird sanctuary are always fun to watch, and of course the turtles. I’m not sure why I haven’t left a review for here yet! We always see fun wildlife here, and the playground had a lot of fun equipment other parks do not have.

Me and my friend had a good time also the place is perfect for photography

Wonderful nature walks. I didnt get a chance to go to the turtle resort but the raptor area is awesome. There is no charge to get in but I am sure donations would be appreciated.

Playground was nice area however could use a bit more to it. Overall beautiful trails, intercoastal and area with rescued birds (owls, hawk, bald eagle) with helpful staff providing facts about each bird. Turtle pond was a fun stop to rest as well.

Always great, feeding turtles, watch the water, unique playground

Beautiful park! A nice place to escape the bustling city and good alternative to the beach! Beautiful wildlife and views. 10/10

Really cute wild life and very comfortable walking trail.....wish it was a non smoking park.

Really good nature park . You can see birds and animals.Its free and recommended for Kids.

Absolutely a fantastic hidden gem in the area and easy to miss. The sign looks more like a condo association than a nature park. Completely free parking, free entrance and a playground with Zipline and boardwalk in the bay. Watch out for snakes. We saw one but I think it was a yellow rat snake. The volunteers and staff here are wonderful and great with kids. Dont forget to check the animals inside the lodge before you leave. Love this place!

Good for relaxi g walks and nothing else...do t bring the kids, theyll be bored

Love going here been going here four years! Just did a nice little donation today for them and got my free Sarge Love itcant wait to wear it! Love it that you can go there and see nature and also dolphins on the Intercoastal Waterway on your walk! I love that they put the pad rubber pad walk like a throw makes it so much easier when you get to be over 70 LOL!

A great nature park right here in Largo Florida. My kids call it Turtle park due to the numerous aquatic turtles that call this park home. They also have some owls, a Bald Eagle and other birds that live here year round. The small museum inside is also worth the visit.

A great little park! Loved the trail, but especially loved being able to see the raptors. I would highly recommend.

Always a great time with or without kids. Nice trails, small but uniquely fun playground, love the birds or prey, and an outlook on the water

Not a very big place, but still a great spot to go out for a quick walk and meditation. Theres a dock here (cant go fishing), and very tranquil. This place is free, but please donate to keep these amazing creatures happy, healthy and fed

Beautiful park, turtle pond, gopher tortoises, birds and bees. Clean bathrooms and a nice playground for the kids. Walking trails and boardwalk combined equal just short of 2 miles.

Amazing Nature Trail. Lots of Birds and Wildlife.

Do you have children or just love cozy settings to view nature. Well..check this park out! Its small but, mighty. It is a nature habitat for animals native to Florida that have been injured. Your children can view and feed turtles, hawks, eagles, snakes owls. There is a small play area (with a zip line for children ). The trails are surfaced with a rubber recycle blend which makes for a easier, softer walk. There is an outlook/pier that provides a view of the gulf inter-coastal. And best of all it is sponsored by local corporations and it is free! The Narrows is a magical Florida treasure.

A beautiful park. Well maintained. Wonderful staff. Nature center with birds of prey, snakes and turtles. Walk out and get pier and see dolphins. This is AKA turtle park.

Beautiful park, turtles are super cool, and the nature trails are beautiful! Great place for all members of the family!

This is great little park it thats a bit of a hidden gem right before you head over to IRB on Walsingham Rd. They have a playground, hiking trails, a Pier, and some very nice wildlife. Definitely worth a trip!

What a super cool little park. You forget that your right in the middle of a bunch of suburbia. The main path is made out of some spongy material so its soft and comfortable on your feet.

Wonderful playground with some unique equipment such as a zipline that my kids love. Sand pit. Nature center with various rescued birds, reptiles, etc. Nice walking trails. Some are paved with recycled tires, some are dirt, some are shells, some are boardwalk. You can buy turtle food and feed the many turtles here at Turtle Park. Staff and volunteers are informative. Highly recommend!

Relaxing park. Feeding the turtles is a must. I would say this is more a nature trail type of park than for young kids. The play area is minimal and the trails are not cemented. This is a beautiful place through, I recommend going and checking out the nature.

Such a wonderful place to walk and enjoy nature and see the animals the rescue . Love it !

Great place for nature, all kinds of beautiful animals and a nice long walk on the boardwalk with a nice beautiful view of the causeway. Worth a trip and its free! Though I donate every time, because its such a beautiful place! A great way to spend an hour or two with the wildlife, I would always come back and reccomend without hesitation.

One of my favorite places in the area to explore. Its not huge but has some great walking paths and access to overlook the intracoastal. Lots of wildlife

A very pleasant oasis of nature in a mass of urbanization. A series of nice trails wander through forest and mangrove habitats. Plenty of birds to observe. A few birds of prey that cannot be returned to the wild are available for close viewing. A great turtle pond is also an attraction.

Called today given great information abt park and nature center from the gentleman who answered my call.The grandchildren and me too cant wait to drop by this weekend.The safety measures were stated for inside center .Masks!Hours given too. And yes the owls are still there he said.Thanks alotKatie W.

Wonderful park with knowledgeable volunteers who take pride in educating others. The park survives on donations and relies on this for their daily care of animals who are injured and unable to be released back into the wild.

This place is amazing free to go and take donations to help with the animal and park it is truly amazingly beautiful and has awesome turtle pond

This is an awesome park to take the family. There are turtles everywhere and you can feed them too. The kids love it. There are many trails to walk. One leads to the water. There are owls and eagles to look at. A nice play area for the kids and picnic tables to enjoy lunch. The main office has a lot of cool things to look at, live lizards and books. Toys are readily available for the kids. The place is perfect for the family to learn about nature and see a lot of turtles and other animals.

Great little park for a nice family walk & play time.

A delightful place to visit. Environmentally sensitive and peaceful. Educational information about the rescued animals. Beautiful and serene setting. Well worth a visit away from the beach and relax in the woods.

Another hidden gem in Pinellas! Great place for young kids and adults alike. Turtles to feed near the entrance, a unique playground closeby and shady trails with a walkway that extends into the intercoastal. Not to mention several birds in rehabilitation that can be seen, including several owls, hawks and a bald eagle. Highly recommended! Free entrance but donation boxes are available.

Sarge is an amazing piece of freedom. Deal with it.That said, this place has so much to offer for so little of an ask. Beautiful trails, birds, views and time. Driven by the weather and occupied by classes, go there in the off hours and enjoy a peaceful walk and a polite staff.Look at the wide variety of birds they have on site and lose yourself in the gaze of freedom as Sarge locks her eyes onto you and stares in a gaze of pure American Spirit. Her stance will make you fix your posture and her colors will make you scream Im not worthy as she struts through her rehab site. She greets you on your walk through the territory, hoping to catch a glimpse of those fat mermaids grazing in the water. When you leave, she nods in approval as you walk back to your car, leaving nothing but your footsteps and taking nothing but new memories.#FreedomOn

Beautiful little park. Kid friendly, with mini obstacle course for them. Great time for the entire family.

Not only do we love this park for any day of the week but we did my sons 9th birthday party Swamp theme. Ranger Kirby was so helpful and the kids had a blast between the amazing playground and animal presentation. Highly recommend you to check it out!

What a wonderful experience we had! The screech owls are so cool, the interaction with nature can take your breath away. Feeding those turtles is non-stop fun! To walk around is free and we had a great time walking the trails and enjoying the intracoastal views.

Got to save a turtles life he was stuck up on a log

Very nice here love The Walking the nature love the

Great park lots to see.

Gorgeous park with a place to view the intracoastal, a turtle deck, wildlife sanctuary and playgrounds.

Cute little park. They have rescued animals as well. Im not too much of a fan of the water outlook because of the condos but a cute little park regardless.

Nicely designed park, comfortable walking trails and picnic areas. Small nature center but very educational, excellent for a family outing.

The park is excellent! And the Narrows Raptor sanctuary is amazing! They are doing truly great work with these birds! Not to mention the fantastic therapy programs they have for vets and the handicapped. The park and sanctuary are both free to visit but I would encourage every visitor to donate something to help maintain these wonderful birds and to help further the great programs they have!

So much fun the boys loved the birds

Very nice park where you can feed a ton of turtles in the pond. We enjoyed feeding the turtles so much! They also have some rescue birds outside and a small indoor nature center with more turtles and owls. They have nice paths to walk as well. Definitely recommend if you love turtles!!

Must go back, an amazing place. The Turtle park, the injured and rescued birds, the hiking path, its all so wonderful. Youll love it and its free.

I loved all the wildlife that we see. So peaceful and tranquil

Great park w pavilions, boardwalks, and an amazing turtle pond.

Nice little outside walk, plenty of turtles, few birds and a squirrel.

Excellent place to stop by! See sight animal and nature the same time. Have nice shade spots in the area, highly recommend this spot!

Super cool spot to check out. Lots of turtles. Also have Raptors.

This place was so cool!! Educational and interactive. The staff is passionate and knowledgeable. You can tell they love their animals here. My two year old had a blast!! Stroller friendly and the walking paths are great for kids as they are well marked, clean and flat.

Extremely large park with access to many different activities and sights. Wonderful to wander around and discover!

1) Turtle watch2) Bird watch3) Educational4) Fun to feed turtles and birds.

Loved it! Walked the trails, saw manatees playing n the water, learned about owls and fed the turtles!

The volunteers were connected to the birds in an honest way. A great place for a strol in deep Florida nature.

Great little park with a nice bird rescue exhibit. No dogs allowed but still a very nice park.

My mother-in-law lives about 2 blocks away from this park and we finally, after 2 years, stopped by one evening. It was awesome!! The owls, the hawks, the turtles... I couldn’t wait to take my daughters up there to feed the turtles. Watching the soft shell turtle is one of the neatest things I’ve ever seen. It looks so prehistoric and they’re big! It was truly one of the best experiences we had while visiting the area. The walking paths are amazing and the birds and manatees at the end of the pier were just remarkable. Thank you to all the people who work and volunteer at this park because it is an absolute gem!

Well kept...things for kids to do...lot of wildlife.

Its a very nice place to visit. Not so many people, parking is free and there is a lot to do in a short time to have some fun with a family. There are some shelter birds like a bald eagle or a hawk, there is a playground, or you can do a nice stroll.

Its always a nice place to go for a walk outdoors. Today the turtle pond was very active and we even got to see the resident snapping turtle.

Love this place. Live birds of prey and reptiles, community garden, trails and nature abound. Whats not to like and enjoy, here? I highly recommend this quiet, serene nature get-away nestled just before you hit the beaches, traveling toward the Gulf and Indian Rocks Beach.

Nice hike. Soft on feet

Kids had a great time. Turtle followed us on the walking trail. Mini zip line was a hit!

Our family loves going to feed the turtles.

Nestled right in the backyard (literally, for some people who live next to it!!) of the Largo area is this super cool nature reserve! Its not a huge expense, but it definitely IS a great little habitat nature reserve & walk. Its completely free to visit, but donations are strongly encouraged & I certainly recommend whatever you can to donate is fair, but even if not, theres no cost.They feature a really cool turtle pond right by the entrance, stocked with a TON of turtles that you can feed. You can purchase their feed from the front desk for a very small fee, I believe its 50 cents a cup. More than enough for the kids to enjoy feeding the turtles with. They also have a really nice bird sanctuary with owls, and even a bald eagle. Indoors are a pair of kestrels, snakes & other assorted nature exhibits. The rangers & volunteers are always happy & willing to explain anything about any display or exhibit.Parking is a bit sparse, but thats about the only takeaway. McGough is definitely worth the visit, especially for little ones!

Found this gem of a place today via the Locals app and am so glad I did! What a neat place and educational as well. My son had a great time. We learned about the birds of prey, fed the turtles and played on the playground. The rangers were super friendly as were all of the volunteers. They also host birthday parties here as well. What a unique idea for a party! Love how peaceful and relaxing it was. We will definitely be visiting again! Thanks for a great day !

Loved it. Lots of photo opportunities and very educational. Would definitely go back

Gorgeous park, interesting animals, great walking paths. Turtles, picnic areas and a board walk to the intercoastal waterway.

Amazing spot. We visited on a holiday was the building was closed, but the park itself is plenty. The boardwalk is long and gorgeous with lots of Spanish moss. The little playground is fun with some newer equipment including a zip line and massive teeter totter swing.

Free place, absolutely relaxing and beautiful.Aviary, lots of turtles, and very nice paths you can walk.

Its a very nice park with about a half a mile of trails with beautiful bird singing and smells. They have a lot of interactive things for children a playground several picnic area and shelters and bathrooms.I would highly recommend it for families and children there is quite a bit of information to learn about local ecology

Its bigger on the inside. Great hiking trails, wonderful bird and turtle encounters. Beautiful park!

This place is really cool. No charge to park or see the wildlife. They rescue injured/sick birds (birds of prey) and other animals and this is a sanctuary for them. All the wildlife are out for 2 hours a day and just hang-out with the attendants. A very beautiful area and a great park!

As a Veteran I find this place peaceful and therapeutic.Ive been twice, once through the Bay Pines PTSD program and once through Veterans Alternative.Ive enjoyed it both times, this last one I brought a friend and she loved it and talks about it all the time.If you want to see a Bald Eagle up close, this is the place!!!I highly recommend this place if youre looking for therapeutic or tranquil energy.

Nice park with one of the best playgrounds

Great place to see birds and turtles! I also enjoyed the mini Zipline in the playground

Awesome little park. Love the turtles!

Such a great place to come with family or friends of any age! There are so many turtles, which you can feed. Theres an indoor and outdoor bird sanctuary, as well as a little playground near the entrance. The walk is so relaxing, and the paths are kept clear. Its a fairly short walk, but with opportunities to look out into the bay and enjoy the nature around.

What a great place! It was far to pretty to stay inside today! Went there today on a walkabout during lunch! Another hidden gem of Largo! Will definitely go back to explore at the weekend!

This place was really cool, not just for kids but adults too!! The staff is super friendly and informative and the park is very well maintained!! We unfortunately missed out on the raptor show but got to see just about everything else!! Super cool park and people!!!

Great place to relax, find your selk and enjoy nature.

I came here a few weeks ago when I was on vacation and it was a really nice experience. The walk was really nice, and seeing the turtles was cool as well.

Great place to visit. See the birds
