    First time visiting this park in Clearwater that I never even knew existed! This is a beautiful park lots of area to ride a bike around or hike. Also a nice walking area with stairs that lead you up to get a nice view of the bay. They do have a park, the FL sun still gets ahold of it so it does get hot to the touch. Also, it was a little difficult finding a restroom, but they do have some here. Next time I'll be taking a picture of the map before traveling to the back. So yeah, this is probably my newest favorite park locally and I will be back.

    Squirrels looking for people food freak me out.

    Came here for a picnic. The park is well hidden but has a boat dock, parking $3, picnic shelters and grills, and restroom buildings. Our group was very comfortable in the shade of the shelter and it was a beautiful day. Shelters need to be reserved ahead of time. The only drawback was I didn't see any beach area where I could put my feet in the water. But it was beautiful there.

    I love this area for meet friends and groups for a run. I've also completed races here as well. It's shaded and has beautiful views. You can see wildlife too.

    Pristine grounds, palm trees swaying in the breeze, scenic walking trail, waterfront views, playgrounds, ample parking, and clean restrooms. What more could you want from a free park? Philippe Park is nestled along the bay between Oldsmar and Safety Harbor. Its walking trail takes you through the entire park and onto Bayshore Drive, which leads to the Safety Harbor Pier! Typically this walk takes about two hours round trip, including a walk to the end of the pier. Occasionally you'll find bird watchers gathering around the trees where you can see huge owls. Super trendy destination for photographers capturing families and couples. You may recognize the famous stone wall and windy staircase. Overall a peaceful experience during the week, and a bit crowded during summer weekends. Perfect place to bring out-of-town guests that enjoy long walks or lazy days in the park.

    I visited here because an orginazation I belong to was having a get together. It was a bright, but chilly autumn afternoon, and the park was full of people. We had shelter #9, and the view was absolutely gorgeous. We took full advantage of the amenities the park had to offer: The picnic tables, the parking, the grills and the restrooms. Our kids had fun at the swings and in the large fields. This is an absolute treasure to the town of Safety Harbor, Fl. I'm glad I've been introduced, I'll certainly be coming back.

    Such a beautiful park. It is so peaceful and plenty of places to walk, bike, have a picnic or meditate or nap. Lots of shade to keep the sun off you as you explore the large park. There are trails to walk on or a lot of people were walking on the main road as well. There are two playgrounds, clean restrooms and lots of picnic shelters to have a family gathering or eat your lunch. There is lots of parking available, it wasn't busy when we came but I'm sure it gets busy on the weekend. Lots of people brought their dogs to walk and enjoy the scenery. Definitely loved this park and vast variety of things to see. We will be back for sure!!!

    This is a great park, one of the best in Pinellas county. The park is situated right on the harbor with beautiful views. Love all the shade provided by the oak trees through the park. Great place for a birthday party or a picnic. Kids play area is also super fun. Little sketch but fun.

    This beautiful bayside 122 acre park is located just north of the town of Safety Harbor at 2525 Philippe Pkwy. It's one of the most serene and beatific locals in all of Tampa Bay. It's on the northwest shore of Old Tampa Bay. The park is named after Count Odet Philippe, who is credited with introducing grapefruit to Florida. There's lots of picnic tables and large covered areas that would be ideal for a family reunion or any large event. There are plenty of trails and pets are allowed as long as they're on a leash. If you've never been to Philippe Park, go as soon as you can1

When I first turned in I went to the wrong parking lot and saw tennis courts, basketball courts, and a playground. Moving back I saw dog parks, a zip line course, and then a huge lake. I've actually done the zipline course before and enjoyed it. You can do paddleboard tours with Upper Tampa Bay Paddle Sports. I bet you can even bring your own kayak or paddleboard and go into the lake. I saw a sign at one of the dog parks that said for smaller dogs. I don't own a dog, but I imagine that owners of small dogs would appreciate that. This park seems well taken care of and it is nice to know there is a kayaking lake so close to home. I'll definitely come back!

The park is open until dusk (as posted that the gates close then) and there is lots to the area. I went at around dusk and saw some beautiful views of the water. The park area is very clean and obviously well taken care of. Parking is free and although the driveway into the park is paved, you will most likely be parking on grass that has a dip to it. My friends and I enjoyed roaming the area and exploring what the park has to offer.

The center is currently closed due to Covid but the bathrooms are open. From what I could tell, on our mad dash to the bathroom and distance viewing, the displays are informative and well done. I'd love to return when it is safe to and take a look. The park has three trails that are part of the spree. We hiked the Bobcat Trail since it includes the boardwalk. The trail travels for about a half mile through trees and over dusty shells. Then it connects to the boardwalk. This was by far the best part. We walked along the beautiful, tree lined water, getting up close and personal with a bunch of small black crabs. We scanned the water for manatees but were not lucky to find any. The trail ends back at the nature center. We climbed the back steps to the top level and caught a great view of the river and the distant city. After the hike we hit up the playground for a few minutes. This is always my kids' favorite part. We also stopped off at the butterfly garden which was pretty active on this day. The park was in great shape, the bathrooms were clean, there were lots of people around doing various park things. Canoeing, kayaking, hiking, nature hunting and playing on the playground are just some of the things available at your fingertips here. So glad we visited! Can't wait to return to check out the other trails.

For that reason there's less shade in the park, but otherwise it is well maintained and restored as much as possible. There is the historic spring, that was once a paid attraction in the area, but now the park is totally free. Usually there is an abundance of fishes near the circular spring. We enjoy walking along the trail. There's an observation tower that gives a nice view of the area, plus seveal decks to admire the Gulf. To the right side of the entrance there's a other trail, longer and more for bicycles, that takes you along the paved road to another observation deck. As walker I prefer the other trail, more natural, better shades, and less hot than walking on asphalt. There is a butterfly garden, and a little free library as well, near the parking lot.

We were fascinated by numerous jumping fish launching themselves out of the water over and over again. They do close a few minutes after sunset so it is difficult to watch this from the tower and get back to the car before they close for the night. A park ranger was coming out to clear people out before the sunset. Not sure this is a daily occurrence but was on the Sunday night we were there. Park is pretty clean. Trash cans are emptied. Need some more signs showing where the trails are located. When you park by the main bathroom there is nothing telling you where to go for trails. Cute butterfly garden that could use a tiny bit of care and surprisingly had no live butterflies around it. The spring has several signs around it that explain it's history and made this more interesting. Look for the female silhouette in the bottom of the spring. There is a sign that helps you see it. Numerous picnic areas. They are rolling out a new reservation system but it was down for a week. The Pinellas Trail connects right to the park and several spots had bike racks. Only thing that was frustrating was numerous visitors not following signs for "no dogs" especially in the tower where leashes get in the way on small walkways. The sign right on the boardwalk leading to the tower clearly indicates no dogs so why do you feel entitled to walk your dogs up and down the tower? Hopefully no dogs peeing through wood slats down on people below. Definitely be back to this park when in the Sponge Docks area. The beauty is so evident here... There are some sections that smell like sulfur probably due to decaying swamp material but this is nature!

North City Park has a nice walking trail that winds across the park's whopping 9 acres. There is a mini public library stand with the "take a book, leave a book" option. There is plenty of parking and lots of trees that provide patrons with plenty of shade. North City Park's facilities managed to keep over 25 5 year olds and 6 year olds entertained and moving around for over a half hour without surfing YouTube on their tablets, so I have to say the park was a success! If you're in the Safety Harbor area and looking for a nice playground, to play basketball, to play pickleball, or to play tennis, I recommend that you check out North City Park!
