I'm not so sure about this park for exercise alone. Every time I have been there, I have been there by myself & it just doesn't make the cut on many levels. It is pretty & has great walking/biking trails but it has way too many overgrown areas that seem unsafe to me. Way too many places you can "disappear" in this inner city park. Plus, the water is not flowing, there is no water fountain, not that I saw & there are way too many bugs bc of the stagnant water. One day I was there, it was raining & it was flooding all over. So the park doesn't have good drainage. Maybe that's why all the bugs & mosquitoes. Either way, it's not the best one I have found by far. There are far more better options/safer options in the area. Won't Return. read more

Eagle Lake Park - Still Raining, lake is very high, lots of flooded areas today OuiOui. - Parks Near Me - Largo, Florida

This is a good Pinellas County park if you like trails and nature. The park is actually fairly big. There are lots of trails (paved, shell, and boardwalks), 2 lakes, fishing piers, playgrounds, a dog park, and lots of covered picnic table areas. There is also a lot of parking. Restrooms are available too. Walking around the lakes, you'll see lots of turtles, fish, and all kinds of birds. It's really quite peaceful and beautiful. read more

We love that Pinellas County has so many amazing parks and Eagle lake is one of them! Eagle lake has a lot to offer. Walking trails, playground, dog park, lake, picnic shelters and bathrooms. They have paved and gravel trails to walk on, you can choose which way to go. There are so many trails to follow on Eagle lake Loop. According to All Trails app both trail loops are about 2.5 miles. The playground has a toddler area and bigger kids area to play. The dog park is fenced in and offers a good amount of shade. The lake has wooden dock that goes around the lake to check out the fish and Turtles. On our visit today we saw lots of Turtles . Bathrooms and picnic areas are clean and seem to be well maintained. So grateful for this park to walk around and be in nature to explore with our kids. read more

Amazing park in the area! They have a fenced dog park too. We opted for the trails instead. Some sandy and some concrete but both were large and shady for the most part. My dog had a ball here. Lots of walkers, dogs, bicyclists, and rollerBladers. They have a lot of board walks, informational signs, and water views but a lot of the board walks you cannot bring dogs on so we Didn't chance it. read more

They should really consider renaming it Turtle Lake Park, because that's what you'll find: heaps of turtles! They've got a great trail with mile markers, a dog park for both big and small, and an intricate raised deck situation over the lake where you'll find more than enough turtles to ogle at. You're not supposed to feed them, but man, someone must be! As soon as you peak over the edge, they show up in droves! read more

I have been driving past Eagle Lake for years now. I finally took the time to check it out...and I am happy that I did. The thing that I learned on this first visit was not to park at the first lot (the one to the left by the dog park). I parked there and initially thought the park was okay..but nothing special. Luckily, I kept exploring and found the back half of the park. Next time I will probably drive all the way to the end and go from there. This park has a lot of nice features and is well kept. I absolutely love the trails. There are so many trails in here that it is possible to get turned around or lost. There is a wide main trail with mile markers. There are boardwalks. There are overlooks onto the multiple lake areas. There are several dirt or sand trails too. It has playgrounds for the kids. There are fishing areas. There are a lot of shelters. It also has an extremely large dog park area that looked nice. The park does have plenty of bathrooms that are well maintained. It also has a lot of trash and recycling receptacles near the shelters. I found amazing trees, plants, wildlife, and flowers here too. If you have a moment, look at the pictures that I uploaded. My favorite were the huge Southern Magnolias. I found several that were bigger than my head. These were hidden off the sandy trails. See if you can find them. If that is too adventurous for you, there are plenty of smaller Southern Magnolias towards the parking lot by the main lake. There were several sections closed off on this visit. However, they had up nice signs thanking patrons for their patience. The project they are working on should be done by July 2020. Even with parts of the trails closed off, I was able to walk 3 miles here easily. The main trail is wider and paved. It would be a great trail for running. This park is also spacious enough and has plenty of private areas where you could get privacy and not feel crowded. I really enjoyed my visit to Eagle Lake Park. I will return soon. read more

Very green and nice park I really enjoyed biking here it is very fun thing to do with the family definitely coming back

The kids playground is old and outdated equipment looks faded and is minimal. I would pick another park before going here read more

This is a large park with long trails to take a walk, jog, or bike ride. One fun thing to do is feed the turtles and fish from the boardwalk. You get there by turning right at the entrance and then entering a parking lot to the left. I also saw an alligator and great white heron but being carnivores, they had no interest in the bread I had brought. The beautiful bird got so close to me, I figured it might want some bread since it was quite tame. Perhaps people bring goldfish and feed the bird? The turtles, on the other hand, came from all over the lake to partake in the bread feast, moving as quickly as they can which isn't very quick. After all, they are turtles and all. read more

Lovely park. We only saw Pavilion 1 and the restrooms but they were both clean. The dog park areas were huge and separated by size (20 lbs or less and 20+ lbs). Well maintained and looked like a place we'd love to explore so we'll be back for a walk sometime! read more

Lovely park. Great for walking, cycling, bringing the children to the playground. Great facilities and very shady.

Came here today with some friends and my dogs for very enjoyable walk around this beautiful park. The trail lanes were wide enough for all of us plus the bikers and rollerbladers that went past us. There are covered picnic areas, ponds with lots of wildlife, and beautiful landscaping. One of the Park Rangers, Owen, even stopped to chat with us and it's clear how much passion and knowledge he has. It was overall an incredible morning and I cannot wait to come back. read more

Horrible service and when it's 6:30 and the park closes you have to wait 2 hours till the gate opens again because they lock you in! I don't recommend this park read more

If you enjoy mountain biking but don't want to travel out two hours for the trails then practice here. There's some dirt, gravel and crunch shells paths even seen a few openings after the bridge where you can make your own path; get lost and find yourself coming out by McMullen Road. read more

The reason why I give you so three star park we come down every winter and it seems like every time we go to the park. All the power is turned off we go to one of the booths that is not reserved and sit there and hang out and talk and then we try to charge our phones and the plugs on one don't get me wrong it's in very nice home but that's the only issue. What if there's an issue about emergency and your phone is dead, but there's no way to charge your phone. It's all the powers turned off did Erin exercise and joy and Bierman of the wildlife so when you're doing that and your phone dies you got no place to charge your phone because the powers off is it in bhelp. read more

Nice way to spend an hour and get some fresh air. An old plot of land recently purchased by the city & turned into a park. Nice easy trails, a few nice lakes with some docks for viewing birds. Shelters are rentable. I've heard tell that they're renovating the old-timey orange picking equipment which may become an exhibit in the future. read more

This park has it all, wide open spaces, boardwalks and trails for walking ,fishing piers for fishing and playgrounds for playing. Park is conveniently located off Keene Rd in Largo, for years I have just driven past without given a chance. Recently I decided to explore it and was thoroughly impressed with the expansive space . This park is huge for being in the middle of a congested area. As far as parks go this park was super clean even the bathrooms were clean which is hard to come by. The park has plenty walking trails which I love and few surprises. We will definitely be back and next time we will pack lunch for picnic. read more

Eagle Lake Park - Beautiful - Parks Near Me - Largo, Florida

This park is great for dog owners. Three fenced in areas for them to run around. Dogs are not permitted on the boardwalk areas, but there's still lots of trails for them to walk on. Our dog gets excited exploring new areas, so she had a blast. There's plenty of water fountains where I was able to cup the water into my hands for her to get a drink. Running is most certainly not my thing, but this would be a good place to do so. We saw more people taking strolls than anything. I don't think it's the best place to ride your bike personally, but a few folks were -- some even with their dogs attached to their bikes. Lots of picnic areas. As far as wildlife, we really only saw squirrels and butterflies. read more

If I had to describe a perfect Sunday afternoon, I'd say it's spent at Eagle Lake Park. Since moving to Florida, my fiance and I really got into biking. We used to bike around carillon over in St. Pete, but Eagle Lake Park has a much better biking path with lots of greenery for an easy Sunday ride. Great for picnics, family gatherings, or just long walks along the lake itself. Since we're always on the path biking, we haven't gotten a chance to peek in and see the wildlife, but we often find posts and pictures of cool sightings. We like to take family here and the little ones love the playground area! Huge open spaces and something for the whole family to enjoy. read more

Eagle Lake Park - View from a boardwalk - Parks Near Me - Largo, Florida

I love it! Very nice park! Lots of parking and very clean. The trails are wide enough for people to pass on opposite side without you having to go off the pathway. There is a playground, a dog park area, pavilions with picnic benches, and we might have missed some other things because this park is huge! We followed the walking trail so not quite sure where the other walkways took you if you decided to veer off course. Lots of awesome looking tress and my family and I (as well as our dog!) had an awesome day here. Dog park was nice. Two separate "big dog" areas and a separate small dog area. No grass though, just lots of leaves and dirt. The dogs here were friendly though and my pup had a good time. There was a sign by the pavilions that said it was a first come, first serve basis for reserving the spots. It looked like two different parties going on that day (Sunday) and seemed like an awesome idea! read more

Eagle Lake Park - Parks Near Me - Largo, Florida

Eagle Lake Park is an outstanding park for any kind of outdoor activity. There are plenty of shelters for picnics and paved trails for walking, bicycling, and roller blading. There are several lakes that are nestled in the landscape (no fishing and molesting gators-which I have been accused of at least once). As you meander on the paved pathways through the park the scenes change from wooded to open fields to high majestic trees. One of these high majestic trees is the source of the name sake of the park located along Belleair Road between Starkey/Keene Road and S. Lake Avenue. It seemed like an impossibility since the nest, as huge as it was withstanding storms and the changing seasons year after year, blew over as the park was being discussed. The beauty of the park is a combination of original landscape and one that is manicured making it less rugged and more accessible. Throughout the park there are shelters that can be used for picnics and parties. The shelters seemed to be first come first served. My typical experience with the park is the back side toward the corner of S. Lake Avenue and Belleair Road which is accessible by park roads. There is a back entrance on S. Lake Avenue for foot traffic only (no parking) out side on the road. This section of the park has a 1/2 mile fitness track that is paved and suitable for bicycling and in-line skating. There is a play ground area with restrooms and vending available. As well as two or three shelters near by. At the entrance of the park on Starkey/Keene Road there is "Paw Playground" which is made up of three sections roughly 50 yards square each and separated for large dogs and small dogs. There was access to water for dogs as well. Dogs also seemed to be welcomed throughout the park as long as they were on leashes. The open fields that popped up throughout the park seemed to be the favorite stopping points. Inside the park there were plenty of parking spaces (some specifically designated for trails). Water fountains or vending (not all that saw were open) could be found to replenish yourself. As typical of any county park "No Alcohol" signs warned of the rule. The park was further made into a positive experience by the patrons. Most people were friendly (nodding hello or speaking) were others were in large enough groups and did not venture away. But there was plenty of room for that quiet contemplative moment if it was needed. Definitely a park that offers variety. And most definitely worth a trip to check it out. read more

Simply a wonderful park to take your family to. Be that on a bike ride around the lake, or through the nature trails, or a family day at the playground, or even just to view some uncommonly seen wildlife, this is a great opportunity. My family and I live close by, and often bring the kids to see some elusive otter, or turtles, and even the occasional roseate spoonbill or two. I haven't spotted any eagles, but understand that their populations are high enough to where that may be likely, soon enough. The trees are tall enough to support a nest or two, I'd think. The trails are well shaded and, as someone else wrote, wide enough to support many types of traffic. The playgrounds, however, are not terribly shaded, so bring the lotion. The shelters are quite nice and the park is very clean, overall. Remember to be conscious of the cleanliness when you leave and it will always be a great family spot. read more

Beautiful area to grill and spend quality time with family. Nice playground space for the little ones and has a dog park right next to it.

I've become a huge fan of Eagle Lake Park. They have an amazing dog park (3 enclosed areas for your fur babies to play in) with a nice trail to walk or bike on. There's plenty of shade in the dog areas and on the trails. The picnic areas are also great for hosting birthday parties and family gatherings. I haven't personally seen any gators in the water, but I'm sure you could see one here. There's plenty of parking and the bathrooms are well kept. Enjoy! read more

What a beautiful and well-kept park for all ages! This is a quiet area that has plenty to offer. There are picnic shelters, restrooms, and a very large and modern playground. The walking trails are wide and weave amongst the beautiful trees and foliage and wildlife. Check out the restored wetlands by using the nicely-done boardwalks, and drop a line in the designated areas to try your luck at fishing. There also is a large dog park that looks comfortable and fun for those that want to run around while their owners relax and enjoy the day . Very nice place for sure! read more

Eagle Lake Park - Lots of space to run! - Parks Near Me - Largo, Florida

This is the type of park that BEGS YOU TO STRAP ON SOME RUNNING SNEAKERS and disappear into the wilderness. I want to be those shirtless, muscular dudes who jog the trails around elderly folk who walk around as their evening exercise. Seriously- I DO LIKE THOSE TRAILS. It doesn't feel like my chistled bod is actually in a park surrounded by neighborhoods. Plus plus. Although those PAGODAS ARE NICE AND CLEAN, I'd rather picnic under the scraggly trees. You probably can't play soccer in any of those fields without hitting those trees scattered throughout- so unusual looking! But it's weird--the thick trees seem all clumped together and there's wide open areas that NORMALLY boast a PARKING LOT NEARBY. I kinda like the feeling of being more 'in the trees' and this place only half-delivers. ACTIVITIES HERE are more LIMITED TO WALKING and things you can do with walking (THINK DOG PARK) but at least if you want to have a party the pagodas, playground and bathrooms will deliver. read more

Really nice park, but I can do without the alligators. There is a wooded area & another covered in bodies of moss-covered water & wooden bridges & walkways. Very pretty. HOWEVER: I don't do well in the sun & had to go early in the day ... & it was SCARY. Lots of twists & turns & you never know who's going to be there, friend or foe. I wasn't the only one who felt this way. I ran into a poor teenaged girl who was trying out a new pair of rollerblades & who aged about 10 years when I came around the bend. She literally turned around & left the park. read more
