The place is quite spacious with bike trails as well. There is no entrance or parking fee. The place is well kept. If you need to use a shelter you need to reserve it in advance. There are multiple restrooms at the place. No liquor is allowed. Pets must be leashed. Good place to relax.

I didnt know, and Im sure many others didnt as well but Lake Tarpon is the third largest lake in the State of Florida! What! really? and its right here in Anderson Park! Beautiful place 2 just be but has many options which include boat ramp hiking trails, Lakeside Boardwalk, picnic areas with grills, all kinds of Wildlife, including Gators. Covered Pavilions which are reservable. just a cool place to be and still be in the city... oh and did I mention a free mulch pile for the taking? Just come & Get It. And whoever was responsible for the stonework and overall layout of the space should receive extra kudos!!! Nicely done!

We had a very nice time visiting A.L Anderson Park. This was our 3rd time there. We got to see at least one alligator during each visit. We saw 3 alligators today. We saw two from the boardwalk. We also saw lizard, butterflies, exotic birds, huge grasshoppers and two Red-Shouldered Hawks.There is a dog park for your furry family members. They have a large number of pavilions you can reserve too.This is a great little park.

This is a hidden treasure! How many people drive right past this beautiful park on US19 every day. Stop and check out the beautiful scenery. Park that car and use your legs to walk around a bit. Tarpon Lake is really nice. It was windy that day.

AL Anderson Park is a beautiful place to take an afternoon walk or have a family picnic. We have done both there and I really enjoyed going here. There are plenty of shelters or you can enjoy a nice afternoon with the family. I also enjoy the trails through the lake in around the edges of the water where you can see alligators and turtles and fish. I definitely recommend you go there and check this place out. You won’t regret it

Love this park. Nice walking trail for my dog. Dog park for those who use them. Pavilions near playgrounds or water for gatherings. Well maintained. Cute little library..take a book- leave a book

One of the best parks in Pinellas County, Florida. Picnic tables and shelters galore! Grills, walking trails and great views of Lake Tarpon. Many fishing events are held here.

Spent Sat Nov 1 wedding ceremony at pavilion #3. It was formal with about 25 socially distanced guest. It was very clean and polished. The surroundings were beautiful. Had a wonderful time.

Best dog friendly park around but dont feed the gators.Gators will then associate people with food and when they do that they start to follow people. When they follow people they start mixing with children and pets and thats never good - so do not feed the gators.Umm, Im getting side tracked.Anderson Park is awesome. Lake tarpon is huge. Theres a dog park even though most places are dog friendly. Theres a playground and pavilions you can reserve. There are restrooms and a boat dock also.

What an absolutely beautiful place. So serene and you feel like you are somewhere outside of the city. Great place to being the family. They have playgrounds for the kids and the view is extraordinary

My boyfriend took me there on his boat and the lake tarpon was huge,great place for him to run his really fast bass boat!!!

I love this place... very peaceful

The park is very well maintained from parking, pavilions, paths, tables and grounds. There is a walking path from pavilion one to the back end of park. Through trees and on a Boardwalk along lake. The are out cropings from path with tables to sit right by waters edge. Very peaceful walk with nice scenery. Great place to picnic also has a launch point for boats. I was able to spot four alligators in the lake on my visit. There is swings for kids and ample trash cans around to keep park clean. Not a long walking path maybe 1/2 mile at most so hiking is not happening here. This is a relax, see view, go for a stroll hang out and have picnic place. Does all that very well.

We had a great time exploring! Lovely spot for a walk or jog.

This place is just beautiful. Perfect place for pictures! And so many gators in the lake!!

Nice park. On large Lake Tarpon. Lots of shade, picknick areas, benches overlooking the water and walking paths. Boat launch busy on weekends.

Great playground, park, and tons of open space and trails to walk. An ideal spot to take the kids to get out of the house, burn off some energy while easily maintaining social distancing.

This park is one of our family favorites!We have had weddings, birthdays, and just family get together.It is clean, family, and pet friendly.When we walk past the dog park, we can see them enjoying themselves, while the owners talk.

Very nice park. very clean. Got to see wild life.

Great walking trail. They have great little picnic areas overlooking the lake great to spot gators and other wildlife

Very unkempt. Needs a lot of picking up. Otherwise it would be a good little spot to relax for a bit.

Beautiful park. Great playground for the littles. Went last week and one set of restrooms was closed. We had to walk to other one which was open.

This is an easy boat ramp for Lake Tarpon. There was a tournament going on the day we were there and most trailer parking spaces were taken, however we didnt feel that it was too crowded out on the lake. We waited just a few minutes to pull the boat out once we returned.

Lovely park with a well maintained and operated public boat ramp. There is plenty of launch space at the ramp and the parking area is easily navigated. there is a $6 daily parking/use fee and the credit card reader works most of the time. The way the parking is setup requires non-trailered vehicles to drive through the ramp area to park. Thats a bit of an issue when the ramp is busy, but it hasnt been a major issue for me.

Beautiful park to walk through. The kids love to go look for alligators.

Nice place, some pavilions have beautiful views of the lake. No electric but had play grounds, grills, water and bathrooms. Overall great park

This is a beautiful park...many animals and birds.the walking areas seem to go forever, however there plenty of places to rest. Enjoy!

A great park for family get togethers. Several large picnic shelters are available to use, and can be reserved when you need to guarantee the space will be available. Nice playground for the kids, too.

Clean animal friendly additional outdoor excersize equipment area unbelievable nice lake plenty of seating

This is a really cool park right on the water. It has some small private tables with built in grills right on the waterAlso has covered pavilions and bathrooms. Def a cool place for a visit. Its free.

I love the little cubbies with the picnic tables on the water, beautiful place to enjoy a picnic

My favorite park in Pinellas County because its a hidden gem! Theres not alot of people and I enjoy walking the trails that are in the shade and the dog park is great.

Looks like a hurricane came here would be a nice place to camp

One of our favorite places to have a picnic! Can even safely see alligators in the wild!

Very beautiful, relaxing, wild life, lake and you can see gators!

Grace loves this park because theres so many areas to discover.

An all time favorite! Anderson Park has some of the most scenic views in Pinellas County from all of the shelters and a boat ramp too, all be it usually very busy on weekends when weather is good.

Great place to fish or drop your boat or just spend your day on the swings looking out over the water

Lots of open space, Pavillions to reserve, dog park, boat launch (pass needed), recycling, and water walking areas.

You get to see tiny Gators coming up to you. Really nice a park filled with a lot of life and nature everywhere

Great spot for a picnic on the water. There are also pavilions and lone benches here and there. It was a really nice breeze coming off the lake. Palm trees provided some shade.

Took my boat out from the north boat ramp. Very easy. Beware of the south ramp. the ramp drops 6ft. and it will pull your vehicle in if not careful. Heard many horror stories about that ramp.

So Beautiful!!! Boat DOCK, LAKES, PICNIC SHELTERS, PLAYGROUND and Bathrooms!

A neat place to spend time with family, enjoy a picnic, take a stroll, and relax. There are little grill areas right by the water for 1-6 people, as well as large pavilions for bigger groups. Pinellas County knows how to do parks

Beautiful quiet park with lots of Wildlife. great views, great parking, great bathrooms, great dog park!

Great views of Lake Tarpon and lots of wildlife around the lake and park.

Love this place. Please remember to leash your dogs.

Its a beautiful well kept park right on Lake Tarpon. They have a wonderful large and small breed dog park. Lots of pavilions and picnic tables. There are also trails as well as a boat launch. Great spot!

Ive lived in this area of Florida all of my life, and never visited this park until today.The park is lovely! The waterfront is picturesque and natural Florida as it gets. Today, the temperature was mid 70s with a nice breeze and low humidity. It was perfect. Perfect to explore. We walked nearly the entire perimeter.

A very beautiful park, there are facilities for children and tables to do a picnic, clean and neat place with parking nearby, you can make events required to coordinate in advance. If you look for animals you can see (we saw crocodiles and turtles)

Great boat ramp and large very clean park on Lake Tarpon

Beautiful here...been going here since my kids were little

Had a nice walk and saw a variety of birds. Left earIy due to heat/humidity.

We absolutely love this place. Very beautiful and quaint and youd never guess I19 was right around the corner. The park ranger Jim was very kind and helpful person. We will definitely come again.

This is a scenic park for sure, easy foot paths to follow. A lakeside view, a few small hills to make your walk or run interesting and a dog park to boot! What else could you ask for? A good amount of picnic tables and cookout/grill stations as well.

Great park! Lots of room to roam. Nice picnic areas. The park is right on Tarpon lake. Nice boat ramps. Dog park (fenced in). Lots of shade trees. Walking trails, lots parking. It’s free too!

Beautiful taste of old Florida just off busy Highway 19. Wonderful pavilions and picnic tables right on the water. Keep an eye on your stuff in the parking lot. Florida has plenty of felons eager to steal your stuff. Easter Sunday, a family left their camp chairs and table by their car to look at the lake and a black truck drove up and tossed all their stuff in the back and took off.

Well kept. Shelters were nice and well spaced, some on the water.

Its a really nice place to visit and watch the boats go by. You can have a nice picnic there as well. Rest rooms near by. Great to go fishing and Water skiing. Cruise around the lake with friends and family. Will be back again.

Great place to go walking and see pretty things.

I love this park! It is so relaxing to walk the trail along the lake.

This is a BEAUTIFUL park. Lots of room to roam, play, walk the dogs, grill, picnic, boat, and fish. HOWEVER, for some really bizarre reason, (they claim to save money) during the week, the RESTROOMS ARE CLOSED!!!@@@$%^! ONE RESTROOM IN THE VERY FRONT OF THE PARK IS THE ONLY ONE OPEN. So all you parents cant bring the kiddies or the dogs to play during the week, unless you want to pack them all up, buckle them in and drive to the front of the park to use the restroom. They are only open on the weekends. BUT the rest of the park is open???? Come on folks...people have need of a restroom on weekdays too. Could the good folks in charge do a rethink on this one? PLEASE?

After a long motorcycle ride, it was nice to stop in the park and rest by the lakeside. With its scenic views and signing birds, it was delightful.

Love the park, walking trails and especially seeing the gators favorite part.

The park is beautiful. It is great by yourself, with a small group or large. There are private small picnic areas all along the lake.perfect for a quiet lunch or with a few family or friends. Each area has a charcoal grill. There are Also medium and large pavilions with charcoal grills.There are public restrooms all over the park. There is a public boat ramp with a vending machine for daily permits to use the boat ramp. There is a walking trail that skirts the park. It runs along side of the lake. We spent a very enjoyable afternoon exploring the park. There are also numerous playgrounds for the kids. You can bring your dog as there is a dog park here too. The park is free. A+

Very nice park. Seen 1 Eagle and 1 Hawk. Also 2 gators. 1 small one and 1 about 8 ft. Came very close we had to move.

Nice ed boat ramp and park

Watch for out for alligator. There great number of bird species and wildlife to enjoy.

This park is the best, its comin in hot with lake Tarpon featuring these cool little personal table/grill fingers over the lake. If one grabs his/her Razor scooter, the slight elevation in spots throughout the park provides a speedy, somewhat thrilling descent. The grounds are well kept and the sinkhole is pretty cool to marvel at.

Beautiful place to walk

Beautiful park! Great for exploring with the kids.

Anderson Park has some wonderful views of Lake Tarpon and is worth a visit. They have boat ramps, a playground, a dog park, a boardwalk, and covered pavilions.The view from the hill on the right side of the park (by the playground and dark park) is well worth a visit. You wont be able to see very much from the parking lot however, once you go up the small stairs (or the slightly steep slope), youre met with a magnificent view of the lake. Dont fret, there is additional parking at the bottom of the hill that offers adequate handicap parking, coupled with a paved sidewalk that will take you to the covered pavilion on the water.Things to consider:Not all of the bathrooms are open during the week days.Not a sunset park.

Beautiful scenery.very clean and well kept.

Great place to go lots of places to find. Also has paths everywhere. Great for families.

Love visiting this park! Beautiful day!

Very natural park! Several places to sit and enjoy some quiet time at a pavilion or next to the water.

This place is AWESOME! Beautiful wildlife. Trees. Animals. They have Great picnic area near the Gators. Sooo meat! You can launch your boats, jet skis, kayaks. Rent a pavilion. They have turtles, alligators, birds, GIANT crickets Looove this place!

Nice park go there alot and it was very nice

Nice little park but mostly just has pavilions. Would be nicer with some walking trails. The dog park is pretty nice too.

Very nice boat launch with multiple slips.

Except for busy holiday picnicking, this is one of the least crowded and stunning waterfront parks. Ample picnic pavilions, on-the-water private picnic tables, large childrens play area, boat ramps, flat walking areas, and even a household recycling area. Great area for seeing birds and water fowl. Nice place to escape to nature right off busy US19.

Peaceful park in Tarpon springs.Multiple areas to enjoy the scenic park and have a picnic.

Went Bass fishing on chilly, cloudy Saturday. First time on Tarpon Lake. Wonderful bird life and nice shoreline. Caught a few bass so day was fruitful. Nice lake to spend 3 or 4 hours but not really that large. The launch area was excellent as were the restrooms. Nice park, easy to get to.

My favorite place to go and relax while watching the water!

Nice and quiet park. Also has a dog park but it’s in pretty poor condition.

I met a friend to relax and visit. This is a beautiful park bursting with life and awe inspiring views of the lake. Many song birds and turtles said hello, even got a visit from this alligator. It is very close to home but does a wonderful job of hiding all of the hustle and bustle and also was very quiet place to enjoy with a friend or alone.

It’s one of our favorite places to go hang out with family and the dog park is great. Met so many great dog friend and the nature walks are beautiful. Beautiful views of Lake Tarpon. They have grills there so it’s a awesome picnic spot. Pack a basket and the pups grab your bike it’s a great local spot.

Great, easy nature walk. We went specifically to see alligators and were not disappointed!

It was peaceful. Got to see a baby alligator.

If you like fleas its the place. I could say the same for any dog park in Florida. If you own a dog do not take them to any park in FL if I could put a 0 on every dog park in Florida I would. Do not take your dogs to the park. You will spend more money on flea medicine than its worth. Stay away from dog parks! All dog parks not just this one.

Good park for a family to have fun at, boat ramps allow for you to put in on Lake Tarpon and head across into JohnChestnut Park.

It was closed. It was showing open on web page

Great setting, nice easy walk. Saw a couple of small alligators

You must go. You will not regret it.

I love this park I bring the my kids and dogs.

Nice park and our first alligator

Beautiful park along Tarpon Lake. If you are on the water go eat at the Tarpon Turtle, just saying.

My family and I loved this park. It is so beautiful. Plenty of picnic spots, a boat ramp, playground, dog park and overall amazing scenery and wildlife.

Nice large park. Playground is near shelter 8. Sinkhole (surrounded by a fence) near shelter 8.Decent walking trail (not paved has trip hazards such as branches, roots, etc) at first parking area. (Shelter 1 -?-)Dog park just before shelter 8 parking area.Cool (today) and windy esp near water.No safety rails near water take care with children.No swimming or fishing.Boat ramp near first shelter/parking lot.

Beautiful nature all around. Its a unique park with a full range of nature. We saw deer up close. Great family fun!
