Nice socially distant experience. Walking trails and a trip down the river on a friends boat. Liter free and people enjoying the outdoors. Definitely will do that again

We absolutely love living so near Lowry Park! We visit 3-4 times a week.It is beautifully maintained and always a great time to picnic, study, walk the tree covered trails, fish and there are playgrounds for my son. The trails are easily navigated and the peace among the citys chaos is refreshing!!!

Nice park with shaded trails. Nice place to host an event. Parts of it seem to be under construction now so can’t wait to go back and see it when it’s finished

Such a pretty park, wooded in spots with little bridges, walkways along/over shore of Hillsborough River. Play area, boat launch, ample parking.

We love Lowry Park. Lots of mature trees and nice shade, several playgrounds, several covered pavilions, and well-maintained grounds. Right on the water, too. Great for young kids to play, for social gatherings, or for anyone interested in a nice paved walking path that winds around the park. This is a family favorite.

It was really nice, however with the whole pandemic everyone wants to be outside. So if you want to be alone try going during the days and hours people will be working. Im an introvert so I enjoy being alone without people outside.

It is a very nice way to spend the day. There is just so much to see and do at the Lowry Tampa zoo. I like seeing all the different kinds of animals. I always have a good time whenever I go there. I recommend buying the year pass so you can go as often as you like. You can interact with the animals.

Honestly its not a bad park. But I wish they would take care of the grounds a little more. Update it or something. The play area. Heck I didnt even know it existed for a long while because its so tucked off and away. But it is like a brand new play area!!Also it saddens me that they still have water taxi signs up. But the Water Taxi never comes up to that spot anymore. Its last stop is near Armature Works. Thats a along ways from this park. I wish they would bring it back up here. I would ride it so often!

It is a very peaceful and completely amazing. Everytime I go there its clean and never a horrid sight. Its also a really big park so its not crowded. Very child oriented. I love it.

Nice quiet park, plenty of covered pavilion space, good playground for young kids. There is a boat launch and short boardwalk by the river, plus a couple foot bridges over streams where you can see fish and turtles and maybe a gator if youre lucky. Only downside is the bathrooms do not have soap and you have to watch out for ants.

Rented pavilion 117 for a party. Have to pay extra for a bounce house. No outlets..... clean as a pavillion could be.... tables a little to close together was a little hard getting around with my sons wheelchair... definitely not set up for wheelchair access.. . Over all not a bad spot... just needs some remodeling and updating cause the age is showing

Beautiful park with a boat ramp, pavilions, grills, playgrounds, Hillsborough river views,restrooms, and plenty of shade. I bring my dog here to walk around and explore. Paved sidewalks crisscross the park. The flowing water ponds in the center are relaxing and you can spot turtles, birds, squirrels, and maybe even Gators and manatees in the river if youre lucky. Very well kept grass and very clean. Plenty of trash cans and people actually use them. Its not a very large park but its perfect for my needs. My dog seems to like it as well. Zoo Tampa is also right across the street. Check it out for yourself.

Went for a quick afternoon outing with my kids, as I do other times. The restroom needs to be lit, the lights were not on inside. And people need to learn to pickup after themselves, there was garbage all tossed around the ground surrounding a trash can next to one of the shelters. People like that mess it up for the rest of us.

This is a public park that is next to the Tampa Zoo. It is much larger than what you initially see. On the side that has a zoo in it, There is a small outdoor theater with bench seating. It is among the tree, so is comfortable even in the summer. The pavilions are easy to rent and come equipped with electricity, grill stations, and garbage. If a pavilion is not rented, it is to quite ok to use them. The bathrooms are slightly better than typical public parks. There are multiple playgrounds interspersed throughout the park. The grounds vary quite nicely, and are well kept. The local homeless are non intrusive, kind people, but prefer to stay invisible. They do use the facilities at night, but keep it clean.

Its a nice place to sit and walk by the river, whatch the boats go by and look at the beautiful waterfront homes and the boats that go by. That is very peaceful for me. Its also popular with parents for their kids birthday parties. Weekends are great there if you have children. Lots of kids to play with. Weekdays are great if you want a peaceful place to get away outside.

Review №86

The actual park looks really good for walking and picnics and maybe birthdays but what I went for with my grandson was fishing. For that not so good. The piers are messed up, maintenance does not keep up with them and to catch a fish well we spent over 2 hrs and nothing. So for that reason I gave it a 3 star.

I love Lowry Park. I come here to meditate on a regular basis even though the Hillsborough River is fairly well polluted. The squirrels are a bit too friendly because people keep feeding them. But as I do not hurt animals I think its wonderful to see them.
