Parks Places Map
Parks in Tampa:
Cypress Point Park
My advice is to bring snacks and drinks with you. There's not much nearby, and trust me, you'll want to stay hydrated while lounging by the water
Curtis Hixson Waterfront Park
My advice is to download a parking app before arriving. Street parking can get tricky, and you might save time and money looking for a spot
Lettis Lake Park
Ballast Point Park
I recommend wearing comfortable shoes because the park is bigger than it looks! You'll want to stroll around and check out the pier, the playground, and the gardens.
Al Lopez Park
I suggest checking out the lakes – they’re beautiful! But be careful of pesky mosquitoes, especially near the water, so pack some bug spray.
Julian B Lane Riverfront Park
I highly recommend checking out the little café in the park. They have great coffee and snacks, plus it's way cheaper than the touristy places nearby. Perfect for a midday pick-me-up!
Hillsborough River State Park
Sparkman Wharf
My advice is to bring your own drinks if you want to save some money because stuff inside can be pricey especially the alcohol!
