Wonderful park for children of all ages. Lots of accessible playground areas, and several old growth oaks provide good shade. Picnic tables under a nice pavilion provide a space for a party, and there is plenty of other benches and tables scattered throughout the park for additional seating.

There’s so much to see I couldn’t explore the whole park this morning. It wasn’t as dog friendly as I would like because I parked near the picnic areas and there were the tiniest scraps of food, wrappers, peanuts and chicken bones and I had to pry them out of the dog’s mouth every couple yards. The dogs had a blast! LOL I won’t do that again. Other than that it was well maintained and staff was on site today. People were friendly too.

With COVID19 going on we needed a place for a small gathering where we felt better with social distancing. The kids were able to go play basketball and skateboard. There was a play area for smaller children close by also. The parking was close and plenty. The police were in sight providing visual support. We had a great time for a great price. This was a 2020 great party, so to other grads who have suffered from this pandemic emotionally or physically lost someone, my heart goes out to you. We are in this together. Congratulations on your accomplishments during such a time of unrest and unknown. Be at peace and of good courage. Times like these build ones character, so make sure that you make good choices!

My.toddler loves coming here! Not your average playground...lots of sensory play, music activities, bridges, rocks, sand, pirate ship, and well maintained areas to climb, run, and jump. Natural landscaping to explore as well as slides and swings etc. There is an area for the little kids as well as an area with obstacle course type activities and slides for bigger kids. Plenty of benches and picnic areas for adults to find shade as well.

We rented a shelter for the day. The shelter had came with power which was available on the day of use. We were next to the playground and restrooms which was a plus. The shelter floor was a little dirty but we made the day work.

Big playground, wide and long winding path for walking/jogging or what have you, lots of shelters for picnics or parties, and lighted tennis courts. Also a couple open grass areas for either football sport you prefer. Dont know why I didnt give it 5 stars.

Now this park I have very fun and great memories since I was a kid Im still going there and Im 57 years old. I love the remodeling they did. I can use a little bit of paint. But the water fountains for the kids are amazing in the summertime how they sprinkle water the kids to play. I also like all the swings and all the other activities. I just recently made a baby shower here and everything was great and amazing we had a great time

There are plenty of seating and very unique in all the playground equipment. I am definitely going back asap ...we didnt get to explore all of it. 5 stars is an underrate for this place...it so cool!!

2 playground, parking lot on 2 sides and in the middle, and on the road past the basketball courts. Several bathrooms. Several gazebos with a couple picnic tables under each. I really like this park! My kids (10&2) really enjoyed all the neat things to do on the bigger playground. Musical toys, a couple swings (2 available for kids with disabilities) 2 bench swings a whole family can fit on. Small area for little ones to play on decent tho, a huge play house my daughter played in for awhile. Also has sand play area and slides on the bigger kid area of the playground. Dont live in Tampa but I am in the area often...would drive 20 mins out my way to take my kids here. I love i can follow my daughter around on the equipment, which means those in wheelchairs can access most areas too. There is a walking trail that has several activities to do like chin ups and such along the way. Awesome park all around!

It look more like a homeless shelter than a park, although it is quiet there are few things you can do; however, for me it is not the ideal place to take kids or even on an afternoon walk date

Not impressed, people in charge were looking for compensation to use a gazebo. We sat out in the open with a large group for a birthday party, and were told all gazebos had been saved. There were clearly three open ones all around us. No one every came to use any of them.

Review №78

Went here to play tennis and get some fresh air around 8pm. There was a man watching me and my partner play who was fully pleasuring himself and was exposed. When he saw that we noticed, he left. The park closes at sunset, but there was no patrol enforcing that or keeping it safe. It is also not well lit after dark and we felt extremely unsafe. This park should have better security. We are disgusted and scarred and will never be returning.
