Came with the puppy to explore the trails. It was not hard getting here and I think I've just…read morediscovered our new favorite trails in the area. It was so quiet and peaceful out here. And not crowded at all on a Saturday morning. We did the three trails - bobcat, otter and eagle. I was using the AllTrails app to navigate all three as it's not well marked as to where each one is until you're right at the sign. Overall it was about a 2.6 mile hike for us. We started on the otter trail when we should have started on bobcat for a more fluid walk. We had to backtrack a lot to find our way. And the eagle trail kinda dead ends so you gotta go back the way you came. It did get a little busier as we were finishing up around noontime. Everyone we met along the way was friendly - humans and dogs. Saw families playing in fields and people fishing from the dock. No mosquitoes except on the bobcat trail. Can't say how it will be though when the weather is hotter. Huge and beautiful park. We will definitely be back to this one.

The nature center has a bathroom and a bit of information, but all the displays were empty, including the outdoor one that allegedly used to have a tortoise. There are canoes to rent if you're into that. Overall, it was a nice, uncrowded park to spend some time outdoors.

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!

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.

This small park is nestled among several office buildings, parking garages and a large apartment complex. While this park doesn't have its own parking, it is easily accesibly by foot from several office towers and from either of the apartment complexes on Rocky Point.

Also in this small park are a few benches and a couple of tables to enjoy the breeze or have lunch when weather permits. The benches and the tables overlook the Rocky Point inlet, and you can see manatees and dolphins on occasion in the calm waters.
