Small bit of Cuba in Tampa. Lots of seating. Good place to take pics but seriously small. No playground for kids, not that kind of park

Its cool that this is a little piece of Cuba in the US, but theres really nothing here worth seeing. Its just a small lot of land with a couple statues. It was very well maintained though.

A true piece of Cuban history in Tampa. The park sits on the former property of the Pedroso houae where Cuban patriot Jose Marti would stay when he visited Tampa. A must visit if you are into the history of Cuba.

Nice well kept property. A lot of history in Ybor you just need to look for hidden placed items. Photo opportunity everywhere with excellent backgrounds.

A small park that technically is part of Cuba. A few plaques, a statue of Marti, and the ever present Ybor chickens.

A very interesting place. Its actually owned by Cuba. The park has some benches toward the back and some statues of famous Cubans. Warning: summers in Florida can be brutal. Take sunscreen and water whenever you are outside.

Wonderful spot dedicated to Jose Marti & Antonio Maceo, both, brave cuban warriors who fought against Spain 1868-1878, then prepared a second battle in Tampa 1896 delated by traitors who alert authorities and took La Fernandina ship.

Review №38

This very small parkt is a piece of Cuban soil, donated from USA to the Cuban migrants that made this part of Tampa, now called Ybor City, one of the most successful industrial experiences on the Florida history. Soil from all de Cuban provinces was brought to this park dedicated to the Cuban hero and poet Jose Martí, who came multiple times to request from the cigar workers their help for the liberation of Cuba.

Amazing piece of history and an interesting story. If you take the Segway tour of Ybor City, they take you inside of this park, on foot. The tour guide makes a special stop, unlocks the gate and escorts the group inside. He also locks the gate on the way out. #awesome

It’s a really beautiful small park and represents such a part of the Cuban history in Tampa.The park is small and close early, you should ask the Museum and go with the tour.

Review №44

Its a nice park and very well maintained with some really nice history. If you are in the area its a cool place to stop by and relax for a few moments but you can complete your entire visit here in 5 to 10 minutes but really depends how long you want to reflect.There is a statue which serves as the center piece of the park. By no means would I consider it a great value to the art community but the park is here to remind all of Jose Martis contribution to a free Cuba.

Review №57

A small park with quite an interesting history (and great source for a trivia question). The 0.14 acre park stands in tribute to Martí as well, complete with a statue of the revolutionary, but surprise!...... its Cuban territory. The park has been owned by the Cuban government since 1956, when it was bequeathed in a will to the Cuban people.

This is Cuban soil. Deeded to the republic of Cuba on the tax rolls. In some ways an anachronistic unique piece of land.
