    On Riverwalk, one of the few places for children to play and well suited for kids 2 to 5. Nestled in the shade, there are plenty of benches for parents to sit and relax.

    Beautiful park. The river walk in the evening towards night is beautiful 🤩. Loved walking around and clicking pictures 😍. Tampa is always beautiful 🥰. Only complaint- people don’t wear mask, no social distancing, and just ignorant 😤😠 Most of the restaurants along the riverwalk had soo many people, heavy crowds, no masks, just walking around and dancing and shouting. Ufff 🙄 too many ignorant people around 🤦🏾‍♂️.

    Really chill spot to bring the kids, take a walk towards downtown via the Riverwalk or head down to Sparksman Warf. Great progress coming to this area so I expect upgrades to the play area. Clean grounds and accessible to the public!

    This is a very hard to remember and pronounce name for a park lol. Perhaps more events would be held here if people could pronounce the name! Lol we just call it ice palace Park. This park needs more frequent events!

    It's a beautiful area by the water. The park is small but good for young kids. I'd say 7 and younger will enjoy, but it's small, and older kids would probably get bored easily. It is near the street and there's no barrier so you have to be very vigilant. There's also a grass area and trees by the park where the kiddos can run and play. Also, a pier & lookout directly behind the park that is pretty. No restrooms though but we were able to walk a shortish distance (doesn't feel short when you have a small child that needs to pee) to Marriort, park our stroller near the steps and go inside so our kids could use the restroom.

    Nice place on the river trail. Not far from Tampa aquarium. And if you are lucky you can see the delphines jump out the river.

    The benches built from rock and hand painted seat backs from artist P.K. hope this is a friend because I have questions, the art has hidden meaning! There is so much great photography moments and everyone is out staying in shape or getting in shape. The grounds are kept really nice. The people you have to dodge and be careful when riding your bikes. Bring a lunch or if there is an event there will be good food trucks with variety of different cuisines.

    HOMELESS passing out, sleeping, living, doing drugs, or accosting families/ people just trying to enjoying the park our tax dollars pay for. Why is this acceptable? Can we get some security for this area?!

    Great spot. Close to the water. Park for the kids. And the train station is right out front. I love that it's free. Really nice area.

    There are two playground along this path, one far better than the other! We visited both on our way back from watching the Lighted boat tour - there wasn’t much lighting, which I felt was odd since it’s basically right on the street. It was a cute little stop for the kiddo who had been sitting and getting restless for the boats.

    Well-shaded park by the water and several amenities: Good for a walk, bike-ride, or picnic lunch for kids and adults. There is also a nearby playground and small splash-pad.

    Nice location right next to the river walk. Easy walking distance from the aquarium and the tram stops right outside to take you back to Ybor. There is a playground for the kids as well.

    I'm not sure why they even have this "park" right in the middle of traffic, next to deep water, require to pay to park blocks away, no rails to or anything from sidewalk and street, next to tourist attractions, and homeless, people going full blast on bicycles all over the "park" with on play ground. but there are plenty of benches for the homeless to stalk your kids while sleeping on though.

    This is another great park on the water and river walk.

  • 5/5 Stephen C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic addition for families along the Tampa Riverwalk with playgrounds spot to rest and relax along the river and centrally located in between most of the Riverwalk and downtown attractions.

    Nice park in a beautiful setting. The Contanchobbe Fort Brooke Park is located on the Tampa Riverwalk. It is often used for vendors to display goods during events. Parking in the area can be challenging depending on the day and if special events are being held.

    Lovely little park

  • 5/5 Thad J. 4 years ago on Google
    It was a family affair, we walked for 3 hours in the area and around the downtown river area!

  • 4/5 San F. 2 years ago on Google
    Biased since it's close to Amalie arena and I just luv going and seeing the WWE there but it's not a bad park to sit and think or just hang out for a minute and it's along the street car line so it's convenient to ybor city as well

    Part of my regular walking loop. Always bustling with activity. Vibrant and relaxing at the same time. Plenty of space in the grassy area to throw a football with kids or play soccer, etc There is a playground for younger kids and restaurants and ice cream nearby.
