I really love this park!…read more I saw the signs for it & just decided to check it out as I love to visit the Nature parks. This park is exceptionally beautiful. It has an old vintage Florida feel with gorgeous old moss covered trees, kids play areas, an old vintage railroad, tons of biking & walking/hiking trails & a giant Lilly covered pond/lake. I had such a great time the first time I went. There was wildlife everywhere & I got to video some very friendly birds. I went back again & it was even more beautiful the second time, than the first time as it had just rained & all the flowers were blooming. They have a little garden there. It's just so precious. This place is so very beautiful. I keep finding all these different trails, they are obviously working on it & making it bigger with more trails. It's a very peaceful place, Like a forgotten tropical wilderness stuck in time. I have not seen more than 5 people here at once. I love all the Nature Parks for hiking but I have to admit. This one is very special & very unique. I can't wait to return. Highly recommended.

This Spring Hill park was spared due to the noble efforts of then high school student Kayla Madril,…read morean IB student who made it her mission to revitalize this park so it could reopen. (It was closed in 2011.) Amity Trails Park is 8.5 acres of tree-covered open space that is surrounded by private homes & paved roads. It holds approximately five wooden, covered picnic tables (no grills), some wooden benches, a wooden bike rack, & some trash cans. There's a mulched walking trail, but perhaps the best feature is the large open area that makes this park great for a friendly game of football, soccer, kickball, & frisbee. Visitors can even toss a blanket on the ground for a picnic lunch. There is an area for parking; it is covered in small white rocks. As I exited my vehicle & walked into the park, I was almost immediately greeted by a large turtle who hurried into her underground home. What a lovely little park that brings nature into the heart of a busy town. If I lived closer, I would picnic here often.

Do NOT drive here!!! And if you are physically disabled, avoid this park. This Pasco County Spring…read moreHill park is also known as Upper Pithlachascotoo River Preserve. And this review was written from the perspective of a lone, unarmed female who drives a Toyota SUV. In other words, take it from whence it comes... No park is worth RUINING my vehicle. Expect about 1/2 miles of pothole after pothole, broken gravel, & one crater that would truly be hazardous if a tire fell into it. No vehicle should travel this road to the county park, although there are homes & mobile homes along the drive. Truly one of the worst roads I've ever experienced! There was no one in the park upon my visit-- at least no other vehicle was parked in the designated lot. Had I screamed, NO ONE would have heard me but the animals. I did not feel safe being there alone. And NO DOGS are allowed. I didn't take many pics; I was too busy looking around to see if Freddy Krueger, Patrick Bateman, Norman Bates, Candyman, Leatherface, Ghostface, Hannibal Lecter, Michael Myers, Scarecrow, Negan, Reaper, Jason Vorhee, Chucky, & others of that ilk were following me! I highly suggest you read KEN K's review; he covered the park beautifully w/ words & pics. I also suggest you follow his bug spray recommendation. Will I return to hike this park? ONLY if I have a rugged companion & he drives us there:-) Seriously! It's just not worth it.

There's a playground, picnic area, benches and a meeting house that's locked when not in use. There is also a garden with some labeled wildflowers in it as well as a plaque commemorating Robert J. Tietz who worked for Pasco county for more than two decades and helped establish it's land acquisition and preservation program. Signage discusses some of the wildlife and a map is posted. The preserve is good for hiking. There are a couple of looping trails off to the right (I think they go about 1.5 miles) and an elevated boardwalk trail over cypress swamp off to the left including a branch trail to a giant cypress tree. Fun area to explore if you enjoy nature. The roads to the park area in are unpaved and bumpy with some moon craters to avoid. The park is also known as the Upper Cotee Preserve.

There were plenty of swings for a group and one for handicap, large play area for many children to play on - now the park is a fourth of the size, trees were cut down but now there is a dozen or more little trees grow big in the center of a stump in the middle of this small park - there is one baby swing that is four feet off the ground and one swing that is three feet off the ground. No child can use the swing without an adult help to get on it or get down from it. No more slide, no more handicap swing. The section off plastic dividers are broken with sharp edges. The Picnic tables need some serious TLC. What a shame this park has been neglected In Istachatta there aren't many things we have - no more library- and now the park is pretty sad.

Dock space is great and overall a really comfortable ramp. There can be long lines on the weekends because there is only one boat ramp and space is limited. Get there early.

This will probably be a go to boat ramp during scallop season.
