We stopped by on a calm Saturday morning with my two daughters and it felt like we had the entire…read morepark to ourselves. Both the small and large dog areas were completely empty, which made it really peaceful and easy to take everything in. A few people were walking their dogs along the trails that loop around the park, but inside the fenced areas it was quiet and relaxed. One thing I really appreciated was that there's free water available for both humans and fur buddies, which is a thoughtful touch especially in Florida heat. The park itself was impressively clean and well maintained. I didn't see any dog poop at all, and there were plenty of waste bags available throughout the area. There's also a sign noting that cleanup happens every Wednesday, which honestly explains why everything looked so tidy and cared for. Between the clean grounds, open space, and peaceful atmosphere, it felt like one of those parks that's quietly doing things right without a lot of fuss. Definitely a spot I'd be happy to come back to.

This is a multi use park. It has a playground, soccer/football/baseball field and basketball court…read more Parking is modest. The park is ran by the Hillsborough County and is open from dawn to dusk. Only service animals are allowed but I've seen people come here with their dogs. There are water fountains and plenty of metal trash bins. I'm sure there are bathrooms but I never stay long enough to find one. There is a covered area with picnic tables but the playground and the playground has swings and slides. It's designed for children age 5-12. The playground is in an ideal area under large moss covered trees. I do recommend this park and will upload more pictures on our next visit!

We arrived slightly late and instead did the trail and had some delicious BBQ from Mr. Blake. The redish-brick tanning of the river / stream is quite lovely.

Also we learned that they open at 8am & the spring doesn't open until 9am so when we went today, we were the first to go in. The water was very clear and calm. We saw some fish swimming around the spring and a couple ducks that were hanging out in the water. It was so peaceful until it started getting packed then we decided to leave. But not bad for being local.
