This park has a playground and a splashpad for kids, a small skateboard/bike area for kids, a dog park pavillions for picnics, restrooms by the play area and dog park and a really nice long walking path around the huge pond. There is also a small stage near the big open field so it would be a good location for concerts. The park is on county land adjacent to a water treatment plant, which supplies the pond with reclaimed water. What a great use of space! I will bet most people wouldn't notice that but I work for another local government so I notice those things. Lots of people were out enjoying the nice weather. People with their kids in the kids area, people with their pets in the pet atea and people like me shopping for plants. They also had some food trucks out and staff/volunteers directing traffic and keeping things nice. Again, great venue for a festival in the heart of Carrollwood Village.

Baybridge Park is one of my favorite parks with a kids playground that really makes the Westchase…read moreCommunity of Tampa so special and wholesome for families with little ones! Baybridge Park is located in the Westchase Suburban District of West Tampa off Linebaugh Avenue, Montague Street, and Bridgeton Drive. Baybridge Park has a Tot Lot playground for smaller kids 2 to 5 years old and a large playground for older kids 5 to 12 years old. The Tot playground is lower to the ground with 4 small slides and multiple obstacles that are friendly for smaller kids. The large playground has 6 different slides, several obstacles, several points of entry, and even has some teachable games including a traffic sign game, life stages of a butterfly, diagram of the planets, and alphabet letters. Baybridge Park also has swings, a nature trail, a bike path, bathrooms, water fountains, shaded picnic areas, and a large soccer field! Baybridge Park is one of the few parks that has outdoor exercise equipment which is great to keep parents busy while their kids play in the playground and they can still keep an eye on their kids! The Baybridge Park connects to the Westchase community on the other side of Linebaugh via a tunnel going under the street to allow families with little ones safe passage without having to worry about traffic! The Baybridge Park's Tot playground and swing area is covered to protect your little ones from the sun but their big playground is not fully covered. There is a shade at the top of the fort but that's about it. This playground and surrounding area is always very clean and nice. If you're in the Westchase Area of Tampa and have young kids, I definitely recommend checking this park out!

If you proceed to your right on the path (shadier portion. So, my preference :p), you'll have an opportunity to cross the road and continue the paved path, which intermittently offers densely vegetated areas on either side of you.

The Peterson Road Park has been updated…read more The tire shreds have been replaced by mulch. There are now six swings. Four for older kids, two that will support younger kids.

Still not on par with some Hillsborough County Parks but much better than the "rustic" one it used to be.

The Westchase Community Association has another Olympic pool with 6 Tennis Courts off Countryway Boulevard and Linebaugh Avenue but that pool is in use on weekdays by a swim team from 3-7pm and the pool is only open until 8pm. Luckily the pool off Parley is not in use by a swim team during the weekdays. The Westchase Community Association has 3 well maintained parks & 3 kids playgrounds. The pools are open 10:00 am to 8:00 pm year round and the tennis courts are open 8am to 9pm. The pool is heated in the winter and cooled in the summer. The tennis courts are home to recreational and USTA league play, private lessons, clinics, after-school programs, summer camps, junior and adult tennis lessons, group lessons, and tournament play. On two of the 6 courts at Countryway are 4 pickleball courts. The Westchase Community Association charges a monthly Home Owners Association fee of $384 per year for a 3 bedroom house, $324 for a 3 bedroom townhouse, and $242 per month for a 2 bedroom townhouse which is pretty reasonable. Westchase is surrounded by mature oaks on land dotted with lakes and ponds, one has the feeling of being tucked away in a pristine section of Hillsborough County but the community is far from isolated. The West Park Village retail area features restaurants, bars, and eclectic shops designed in the neotraditional style: pedestrian-friendly and densely populated, reminiscent of early-American mixed-use town centers. And Westchase neighborhoods are just a quick drive to supermarkets, popular eateries, pharmacies, and every other convenience you need.
