One of my favorite playgrounds in Tampa bay…read more This is what you do for a half day on a weekend. We park at the parking lot that is closest to playground. It's the first one you come up upon on your left when you're driving down the street. We put in for three hours of parking which comes out to $7.35. We walk to the playground and while the kids play, I go to the outside bar and grab two skinny margaritas, which are very reasonably priced. Then we go to Doc Ford's or another restaurant close by for a meal. And then depending how crazy the kids are, we may take them back to the playground. This is such a fun place for the kids, half of it is shaded with a canopy and half of it is shaded by trees which means it's hit or miss whether the play equipment is shaded. I highly recommend putting on sunscreen. It is close to a small beach and splash pad also so you can walk amongst the three if it gets really hot. There's an area for younger kids 2 to 5 and the other part is for kids 5 to 12. Bring cardboard because kids like to sit on the cardboard and ride down a tiny hill that's there. Usually though there is cardboard left by other kids, but if you go first thing in the morning, you should be the people that bring the cardboard. It can be pretty crowded. All the kids seem to get along and my kids who are five and seven have an absolute blast year every time. I highly recommend.

Fun place for kids of all ages to explore! Restrooms and a cafe nearby. Some shade. The splash pad…read morewas closed for maintenance, but the beach access was a nice alternative.

This is a really nice playground…read more There is only one entrance and exit to the playground and it's fully fenced in otherwise. So when you see the big lettering that says playground entrance, even though it appears to be directing you to the splash pad, that is indeed the entrance. The ground is fully covered, so no dirt/mulch ground here. This seems to be a pretty new park. It's rather large with a ton of rock wall climbing structures. My kids spent an hour here and didn't want to leave. There is some covering, but it's not over the whole playground so definitely put on sunscreen. It's easy for parents to sit on a bench under shade though. The only reason I'm taking off a star is it smelled strongly of weed. Like very very strong. That was next to the playground area so luckily while in the playground it didn't smell like that. Parking was plentiful and super easy.

We were actually at another park when this one was recommended for a sunrise. I cannot wait to get back and witness that. I was here early in the morning and it was extremely peaceful. There is a cute pier with a view of much of the bay. There were a lot of birds and some pelicans hanging around sunbathing. You can see boats, the Skyway, and more. There is a boat ramp, a fishing area, playground, a small grassed area, and a bathroom. It is not the best park for running or getting in steps, but it is a great park for watching nature/ the water and enjoying the stillness. I really enjoyed my visit here and I will be back to catch that gorgeous sunrise that I have heard about.

Came to Highland rec center for the aquatic area for my daughter's birthday. We signed up for the…read moreafternoon swim that was two hours long. Now there is a lot of amenities here at the aquatic center but the two big slides in the corner are little rocky. We decided to go down the waterslides when we first got there and noticed that both have flaws. There are wasp nests underneath the slides so you do see tons of wasp flying around. The swirl slide we took moves really slow so you have to push yourself at some point to keep moving forward down the slide. People were coming down quickly after you would get off the slides they got kind of close to landing in the water by us. The straight down slide you catch air midway, especially for a little kids you kinda stopped, touching the slide at one point. Now for the smaller kid area it was perfect for my five year old. They had little slides over there and even a medium kid slide as soon as you walk up nice splash pad a lot more slow pace and relaxing. they do have lifejackets there if needed for children. They also have a café where they serve Domino's Pizza and other snacks and drink options which we did get some Gatorade's and a whole Domino's Pizza, and for the price it wasn't bad.
