Fish bench
Courtney S.

Wall Springs Park is awesome from the decorative huge front gate to the fish to the great water views. I liked how there were several piers to fish from so no need to crowd people. The viewing platform had an amazing view over the wtaer and was fun the walk up. There were stairs and a ramp. The trails were paved and you can't get lost. My favorite part of the park are the benches sculpted out of fencing looking like fish. Nice touch. Park has plenty of free parking, clean bathrooms, and is directly off the Pinellas Trail. Can't beat that.

Views!

Always a good time! I'll be moving to holiday this summer, I'm excited to explore that area, but still won't stop me from riding back to here! #TheDukeNoEarl

Wall Springs Park is right along the Pinellas trail and has a fancy gate that closes at sunset. Several fishing piers, lots of birds and lizards, trails with decent bathrooms, a huge viewing platform several stories high, and lots of parking. I really like this park despite the homeless guy taking up residence in one of the pavilions.

A peaceful, scenic park with a beautiful natural spring. Enjoy boardwalks, nature trails, an observation tower with Gulf views and plenty of wildlife. The spring is no longer for swimming, but it's a stunning spot to view and photograph.

Amazing view!

Great park for riding bikes and walking! Very well kept and right off the trail! It's an amazing place

I love wall Springs Park. Such a gem! Right by the Pinellas Trail so a great starting point for biking or walking. The park itself has so much to offer. Lots of picnic tables with shade for eating and get togethers. A fun playground for the kids. It also has a neat little boardwalk to walk around the freshwater Spring that back in the day was an old-time resort. And then there's another dog friendly (on a leash) walking trail that goes out to the Gulf of Mexico/Saint Joseph Sound. Make sure to climb the observation tower to check out the view at the end of the trail.

I've been here a couple times before because it is a beautiful park. It is kind of off the beaten path because it is off Alt 19, but it is also along the Pinellas Trail so plenty of people on bikes also stop by. When I went today it was very busy with walkers of all ages and families on bikes and roller skates. However, I was still able to be distant enough from everyone. In the heavy traffic areas, like around the spring, I put on my mask and others did as well. The walking path is about a mile, so it is doable for most people. There are large oak and pine trees that provide some shade and along the path, there are really cool sculptural benches, regular benches, and a really cool observation tower that has both stairs and a ramp all the way to the top so disabled people in wheelchairs and scooters can go to the top too. There are also several picnic pavilions, several fishing piers, a playground, a butterfly garden, One more important thing, there are restrooms at the front and back of the park's walking path. The first time I came to this park my husband and I spent time reading all the little historic markers around the spring and it was really interesting. You can also see a lot of fish in that area. Today I saw a woodpecker but was unable to get a good picture. This park is free to visit and a good place to spend a few hours.

I think I may have been the last to know that we had a natural spring this far down south... I thought they were all up north further in the Crystal River area. Hmm see what a little research can do for ya? Wall Springs Park is yet again, another little gem that I didn't know I lived so close by. They have boardwalks that take you out over the water in a few spots and right now the park is getting work done so you can see a new one being done. I love when you see our City/County/State parks being worked on and improved. From some of the signs at the park, you can read that this use to be "the spot" back in the day when the springs were more active or there were just less places to hang out. If you bike, this park is also along the Pinellas Trail so you can make it a pit stop if needed. They have clean bathrooms and you can take in the views while you cool down.

This park is SO cool. I cannot believe I grew up in Palm Harbor and did not know about this until recently. It has an area that used to be a spring that people could swim in years and years ago. You can no longer swim here, but it is really beautiful to look at. The area has a variety of fish and other creatures swimming around. There are historic signs that show old postcards of what it used to be like. The park has several boardwalks that overlook the beautiful Gulf inlet. There are walking trails (it is also right off of the Pinellas Trail if you need to walk even more). It also has these artistic (mostly metal) benches that are variations of marine animals spread throughout the park. There are bathrooms and picnic areas. Old, beautiful trees. Plenty of water. There is a really nice butterfly garden. A large children's playground. One of my absolute favorite things is the massive lookout tower. It is the only tower that I remember encountering that has a wheelchair ramp. ALL THE WAY UP. So cool! It makes for a beautiful tower too. It almost looks medieval with the large wooden beams and the metal bolts. The view at the top is beautiful. It is not really right on the water, but you can see the water from there. This is a very unique and fun park. When my Dad was in town, I was taking him to a lot of parks and this one was towards the top of the list. It has things that other parks do not. If you have never been here, I highly recommend planning a visit.

Cute butterfly garden that could use a tiny bit of care and surprisingly had no live butterflies around it.

It's a small hidden gem of a park, in my opinion. I have two large dogs, and I like to walk them…read morein different settings for mental stimulation. Lake Chautaqua offers more shade and, if you like, a paved walkway that runs along the road. There are also some well-established paths within the wooded area, which I really like. It tends to be cooler there and gives the dogs plenty to sniff. There are many places to toss your dog's waste, and most people adhere to cleaning up after their pets. A large parking lot toward the beginning of the park has water stations for adults, children, and dogs. There is also an available hose in a small fenced-in area. It's not overly crowded. It is peaceful and you get the feeling you are in nature, although you are surrounded by neighborhoods.

This is a smaller park and I like it because it's hard to get lost. It is a circle w/mini trails…read morethat brings you to a main trail or you could just walk the circumference - love the fact other people are using it. I took my pup and saw others w/theirs - some people do not abide by the leash rule FYI. My shelter dog gets easily scared by other dogs, so that was the only part I didn't like. Trash bags are provided for you to help maintain the trail, so be sure to pickup your dog's poop! This place is beautiful - it was baren despite going on the weekend and gives you a chance to really soak in the beauty. Of course, the oak trees & palms including many other plants/trees I couldn't identify are so pretty. There's a small pond (catch & release) surrounded by overgrown vines and trees & two small bridges. There's a dock that overlooks the lake - I somehow missed it and will def. return to check it out. No restrooms. Paved paths available if you prefer. Parking is plentiful.

This was a mother's day visit- parking was going fast, and the beach was packed. My mom and daughter and I just wanted to walk the island, get some toes wet and in the sand. We enjoyed the water immensely. So much wildlife to see throughout the park. My daughter's first birthday was held in one of the pavilions. Easter picnics with ham-kabobs. Taking the little kids out kayaking the inlet- endless possibilities to explore. Enjoy the park adventure!

It was very calming as I watched the sun disappear in the horizon. This place was great to watch the sunset, paddle board, kayak or fish. The water was clear & warm, and it was a little busy when i went since it was still spring break. I felt a little safe during my visit bcoz i've seen the park rangers patrol the area. As soon as the sunsets, the park rangers were there to make sure that everybody leaves as the park closes at sundown.

Lots of options for lunch or just to eat a snack. There is also a bathroom, which is really convenient as you don't have to leave the play area or walk very far. It can get pretty busy on the weekends but is quieter during the week. They have multiple swing options, a small playground for younger kids, a larger playground for older kids, and various climbing/play structures. It is completely turf but is surrounded by a concrete walkway- so pretty wheelchair and stroller friendly. It is pretty shaded as well so you aren't being blasted by the sun. I would say this park is more suited to 2+. There are multiple climbing components that are pretty challenging and just require more coordination/strength.

My young boys and I were disappointed to find it had been Renovated for some time now with toxic Turf and plastic/metal playgrounds. Playground felt much smaller this way than when it had been wooden with plank beams running throughout. It is also incredibly packed, but I think that's also because there is a sports complex here and I'm assuming many younger kids are here playing on the playground while older ones play sports. The upside is that it's still a public playground and an outdoor activity for kids. There are bathrooms in the playground area so that's a convenience.
