We took the mile long loop, that meandered a very natural area of native Florida plants and trees.

For fellow parents, here's my review of the playground: *Great shade - both natural canopy coverages and a canvas screen over the playground. Very important for any FL playground. *Great play equipment - swings (for big and small kids), slides, things to climb. New and well maintained. *Beautiful scenery - right by the water, stunning views. *Safety - I like the foot traffic the disc golf and picnic tables brings, so it's not too desolate feeling I have seen families and other groups gather here and it seems ideal for that. Use one of the many picnic tables or bring folding chairs, bring some food, and you've got a great day by the water. People also seem to love the disc golf course - someone told me it's the only course in St. Petersburg. This is excellent land-use by the city government because it seems to attract a lot of people and seems like a low-cost, eco-friendly way to provide recreation for people. My only feedback for the city is 1) plant even more trees by the playground for even more shade and 2) upgrade the trash cans - the squirrels easily get in them and drag trash out.

The trails are windy and it feels so much bigger than it is because of this. A lot of great parking (free) and easy to access from the road. It's still very quiet and peaceful. The perfect spot for #WalkingForExercise. There is even water access for paddle boarding and kayaks.

We saw walkers, runners and bikers so good for all sorts of activities! Plenty of parking, quiet and serene. Get out there early or late in the evenings to avoid the heat bring plenty of water, wear sunscreen and stay on the path and you'll have a great time!

My only issue with this side is there is one piece of equipment that I cannot figure out how to use. Wish there was some signs with instructions or illustrations for each piece of equipment. Other part of park is for the kids. One section seems like a toddler area with baby swings nearby. There are also 2 regular swings in this section. In the middle are lots of climbing type pieces with a section with a slide. There are at least 3 spin type pieces and one "elevator" type piece you have to climb up to the step area. This is not obvious so my great niece had to watch someone else do it before she figured out how it worked. After that it was her favorite thing to do. The slide only has a bar type climb access which is not great if you have a kid that prefers steps or is smaller. There is a slide in the toddler area that is easier to get up to but a smaller length slide. Overall we enjoyed coming to this playground. It has wood chips on the ground and is fairly shaded. There is parking for about 6 vehicles which seemed adequate when we were there. It is at the end of a neighborhood and runs along Gulfport Blvd. I recommend trying this location especially if you are near this area.
