Great shaded path thats stroller friendly, beautiful trees and scenery through most of the park. Separate playgrounds for tots and older kids, everything is well maintained including rest rooms which are available even on the trails. My daughter and I go here 6 days a week!
Great county park. Well maintained, very clean in all areas. The trails was nice and relaxing to walk. The boardwalk areas was all nice and safe to use. Parking was well layed out so it was easy and safe to park. Will return again.
This is a temporary rating. It is a very beautiful park for biking, walking etc; The small River or large stream is nice to watch. Unfortunately though while bars, restaurants and gyms are open you are NOT permitted to picnic here. I wonder what Hillsborough County is thinking. Maybe there are very large gatherings so they just eliminate everything but restrooms. At least Mother Nature is there, just cant eat with her.
Excellent place to walk. An approximate one mile paved loop with beautiful Florida woodland views, views of historic Alafia river waterway. Another trail is an enjoyable boardwalk overlooking more of Floridas natural flood areas indicated with cypress knees, water flora, various birds can be heard when Walking peacefully through the trails. *Many people think of Florida being all about beaches. This part of Florida is amazing unsung treasure.
This place is like a hidden gem! Its never crowded, beautiful scenery, complimentary poop bags to pick up after your dog, lots of shade, and fun workout stations. Great place for a walk, jog, or bike ride with your whole family. My 8 year old whines every time we leave the house to come here, but completely forgets what he was fussing about whenever we get here . Also cute little park for the kids to enjoy with covered picnic areas and even spots to hang a hammock or pinata! Whats not to like about this place?!
Nice super clean and well take care, due to closures due to the pandemic no fishing is allowed until is over. Excellent for familys outdoor activities
Aldermans Ford Park offers nice walking trails and scenery.Plenty of paved parking.Cant beat the price of admission.
Love it! Great for hiking. Great for kids- theres a playground on one side. The trails are clearly marked & teaming with wildlife. The boardwalk is a nice treat. Highly Recommended!!!!!☆☆☆☆☆5 stars!
Lovely park with a boardwalk and several trails to walk. There are bathrooms. Park admission is 2 dollars. If you want to reserve a pavilion youll need to call the park. Some common sights are turtles, alligators and many kinds of birds.
Gorgeous place, rented the multi-purpose room to get married. God as my florist, classroom type room but plenty roomy and they were very helpful! Loved everything about it!
Really enjoyed my visit
Beautiful park with very nice boardwalks and a 1.8 mile paved trail as well as 2 small half mile trails. To dollar entrance fee. Mostly Shaded which is nice here in Florida. Pretty busy on the weekends with people having picnics birthday parties etc. And during the week not busy at all very nice and quiet and serene. Saw an alligator and a turtle which was pretty cool.
A more scenic walk on the off beaten path at alderman fords.
Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Love the trails and boardwalk. Great for family walks or just even to go by yourself and clear your mind with nature. Love love this park.
Absolutely beautiful place that is perfect for photos. There are picnic tables, a playground and trails for any one who wants to get up and move or just take in the scenery. I took the photos with my personal camera since I didnt want the photos to not come out right.
Great place to get a walk, hike, easy bike ride in. There are restrooms, pavilions, and a paved trail.
One of my fave parks. Perfect for a walk or a run to get some exercise or to just enjoy the trees. Paved and shaded paths and boardwalks. Great spaces for picnic, canoe put in or fishing. $2 entry per car makes it reasonable for a family outting. Something you can do as a family or by yourself.
I’m thankful the girlscouts have coordinated the drinking fountains for dogs. My pups use them often. The area floods during rainy season so be sure to watch for that. There’s plenty of pavilions, benches, grills, and activities for family gatherings. Great place. $2 parking for all day which I assume goes towards maint and upkeep.
If you love a nice place to hike this is cool..about an hour and a half walk around (a couple of miles) and parts of the path are shaded and the others sunny. A few benches to sit. Two bucks to enter.
Nearly 250 reviews and this park has an average of 4.7. That says a lot. It is hard to pick a favorite conservation park in Hillsborough County, because there are so many good ones. But Aldermans Ford has to be near the top. There is a great paved trail thats about 2 miles long, winding through a deep canopy. No need for sunglasses. The trail is full of scenic views, multiple bridges going across the river, exercise equipment, a boat launch, and a beautiful intricate system of boardwalks with plenty of places to take a load off. The path is filled with families biking, jogging, walking, launching kayaks, and just generally having an awesome time. Plenty of wide open space at the entrance with grilling and picnicing opportunities. Also, an unpaved trail that takes you into the woods, and alongside the river. This park is pristinely maintained. A true treasure.
A nice peaceful park with lots of shade from the sun with gentle breezes. The park is pretty clean and scenery is very pleasant! ^^
Very nice has a place to hang a small piñata for small children. Could use a little bit more side walks to shelters for wheelchairs.
One of the best parks Ive been to so far I like to pave trail and the boardwalk better great place to take your family
Beautiful hike under shade canopy along the river. We did the orange trail and the river loop trail with our dog in a little over an hour. Take bug spray and water. $2 entry
Such a beautiful place.
Quiet and relaxing park. Paved trail takes you over and along the river.
Great place to hike, work out or ride bikes. There is playground for kids, restrooms are clean
Great little escape from the rat race... #picnic #swingset #playground #shaded
Very nice paved trail thats mostly shaded.
Great well marked trail. Canopy most of the way. Lots of varied terrain. Nice hills for Florida. There is a cool concrete mass near the beginning of the trail. Fill your water bottles back up in the camping area. There is a hand pump. Nice place for a rest or a picnic.
Fantastic park!! ADA Approved trails. At least 1.9 miles of paved trails, plus almost another mile of boardwalks. Excellent facilities, playgrounds, picnic areas. The park was very clean and well maintained. Nature trails available as well as primitive campsites. $2 entry fee. Great river views.
Absolutely beautiful!
This is one of our favorite parks. We have hiked the loop many times and it never gets old. Youll walk alongside the Alafia River and cross over it as well on nice bridges. Depending on how far you walk youll walk on a paved path, wooden boardwalk and/or natural trails. There is a canoe launch in one of the two parking lots. The park also has a playground area as well as shelters for parties or events.
I love this park. Pet friendly beautiful outdoors. Favorite time making memories with my family.
A wonderful park with so many opportunities to see natural habitats and very beautiful riverine scenes! The park has great systems of boardwalks that truly are unmatched, which allow for an interactive walk through some of the best Cypress forest in this area of Florida! Its wonderful and you will enjoy playgrounds for the children, hiking trails for all ages, primitive camping, canoeing and kayaking, viewing wildlife and very good birding, and great pavilions for picnics! Have fun!
I love camping here and they have lots of nice trails you can hike!
Ive been going to the Park since I could walk and Im 59 now it is not the same
Great place to spend the day with the family really nice park and playground lots of fun
Large park, we took pictures there for my friends daughter birthday. Its a beautiful park.
My youngest grandbaby came out and played on the swings and slides it was very nice and clean and not alot of people. Clean bathrooms available
Very well maintained. Clean, plenty of area, great place to walk the dogs, rain or shine. Just wished I had known that its $3.00 to get in, credit card or bills, NO COINS. Completely worth the money, and I will be going back there.
Great place for a bike ride.
Great place to workout 2 mile paved trail with 2 Bridges that cross the Alafia River. Nice boardwalk 1/2 mile. And picnic pavilion
My kids and I love coming to walk the trails and play at the park. Today me and my son took a few trail that we havent been on and seen a turtle and alligator
I absolutely am in love with this park. The trails and boardwalk are awesome to walk. I came here almost every weekend while I was pregnant and after I had my baby I came here to walk. I love the extended trail off the boardwalk. So peaceful and quiet.
Wonderful!!!
Nice park, good bike & running trails and boardwalks. Alafia river put in for kayaks.
Only thing open is the trails. Playground, pavilions and swimming are closed.
Great family place to hang out! Playground, camping, pavilions, grills and hammock posts!
Nice trail good work out walking .pave and boardwalks and nature trails 4 hiking.
Its not a huge park like Florida State, but kept super clean. Potholes are filled and marked with white. I would have given it a 5 if bike paths were marked on the paths. Lots of people would block the way and force a steady ride to a stop not realizing they were on a bike path. Educate your visitors for a better experience by all.
Very beautiful place to visit
Best 2 dollars around. Many picnic areas. Spacious walking paths.
Beautiful park with paved 1.8 mike biking/jogging trail and also off road nature trails that follow along the river. Beautiful and peaceful. $2 entry fee.
Great place! Keep in mind its $2 per car entry fee. Park is always clean and biking/walking/exercise trail is always free of debris. Plenty of pavilions, good sized playgrounds and plenty of bathrooms. Park staff are always friendly.
Love the nature trails. Good place for children to play. The river runs through it
I love coming here and taking photos. It’s nice that they have a park for the kids to play at too.
It is a nice park to walk a paved trail even seen a gator
Great places for an easy hike or picnic
Love this park I take my grand son bike riding
We love it!
Beautiful
Theres plenty of space for a cookout. The grills and tables are clean. Theres a playground near the tables for the kids. The trails are beautiful and the main path is paved. Great for going on a bike ride! The kids loved the boardwalk. We saw a lot of critters. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained.
Excellent! Enjoyed a great three and a half mile walk. The hiking area was very shady and followed a stream. Have hiked here before and look forward to our next outing.
Ive been here over 3,000 times to jog, walk, meditate, take dogs, visit with friends....I love this place!
Love their trails, love to see people canoeing
Our most favorite place to go walking!
The walk was nice and I loved all the flowing water all around the trails. Quiet and peaceful.
Awesome trails and boardwalk for exploring/exercise. Paved trail that allows for baby strollers. Nice playground for kids.
Always like it. Just wish they had more to do there.
Great place to take the family!
Beautiful shaded trail.
Did not know the trail walk was going to be go long!!! But we enjoyed it
We have enjoyed this park for years. Lots of covered eating areas, well maintained trails, mostly local country folks out there, nice.
Beautiful place short and long trails both with greate scenery. Cant post my pics because we here with girl scout troop. No sharing allow.
Really nice.n great space for large activites..
These people have no respect for the visitors or campers in their park. The park rangers had power-trip egos and were rude to us from the moment we stepped foot on the grass(which was dead). I would not recommend visiting this park.
Just the nature of things.
Loved it great park
Very nice park. Well kept safe play ground
Beautiful trail, very clean bathrooms, nice large picnic areas near the playground and water stations for dogs along the trail too
Took a little red wagon, drinks snacks mosquito repellent, and wet wipes.( Mom bag) Neosporin and band-aids.Hey, yall ; wear shoes and socks. And it might be cute, but dont dress your little ones in camo, finding the little darlins hiding behind a tree is easier if they have on caution yellow bright pink lol or tye dye. Great fun,
Behind the ballpark is an area that has 9 miles of trails....good place for your dog....good views of the Alafia river... its all yours...enjoy.!!
Great place for a birthday party.
Very well maintained. Annoying to have to pay to get in since we already pay with our taxes. But it is well kept and clean.
Nice clean park with a bunch to do. Hiking, biking, canoeing, playground. Fun time exploring
Great area park for gatherings or a hike. Easy tails for walking (some for biking), shelters with large charcoal grills, and bathrooms and a playground near the entrance. Theres a $2 fee to park for the day but its free otherwise.
Florida Fire Service Inc enjoyed the atmosphere
Best place for biking jogging and even for a casual walk. Ranchers are always there and it is safe. Child friendly. Getaway from work and stress just feel the air.
Love going here and walking the trails
We were all camping having fun and they purposely shut down our camp for no reason . Made us all pack up and leave at 11 PM to drive 1 hour back to where we were from(gave us no warning of us being to loud). We offered to do anything to make us not have to drive at that hour on dark roads us college kids out un-familiar with. Also, they made us pay in cash then accused us of taking and pad lock then threatned to make a police report. Absolutely un-professional and no care for the well being of their guests.
Beautiful place for a walk. Paved path, boardwalk and trails are wonderful.
Great trails! Has pavilions, trails, play ground, bike trails, and places to sit during the trail and picnic with the kids.
Great park. Trails are beautiful. Bring repellent if evening or the very small fall/winter.
Absolutely loved it. I havent been since I was a child and it was my childrens first time visiting.
Great place for the kids to run and play.
Is a great place to have a family gathering.
