    The place is spacious and aesthetic. Not much to see other than the beautiful ocean. The sunsets can be called the most beautiful. The road is paved for skating,cycling, walking, jogging etc. No park entrance fee or parking fee. Dog park is just nearby. No on site personnels. The side walk is not available in some areas of the routes. The old degraded boats need to be removed.

    Absolutely gorgeous. It was peaceful and had a great view! Great place to have a picnic, play sports, bike, walk, run, or even sit and soak it up. Beautiful spot to catch the sunset.

    What a great place. Wide open to a Tampa Bay view. There's a beach, a dog park, a dog beach, picnic tables, benches and swings along the shore. There's a small airport along side the park so you can watch a lot of airplanes land and take off. There's a yacht club that has sailing lessons for kids and young adults that's very amusing to watch. Bring a lunch or a snack or just yourself.

    A nice small park where you can fish, toss a frisbee, watch the small planes take-off and land. Ride your bike here, there is a bicycle repair station. Bring your furfaces to the dog park on the beach near the boat ramp.

    Fabulous park with plenty of parking and a large grassy area. There are tables and benches, a water-side sidewalk and trees for shade. Wonderful spot for a picnic in good weather and a Great place to come with your dog or your family. There is a dog park and dog beach located nearby. There is a water fountain near the dog beach.

    I attended a wedding there a few weeks ago. It was pleasant and peaceful. The spot that the wedding took place was right near the water, and it was great especially with the breeze.

    Not sure why they call it seaplane because there aren't any seaplanes, but it is a very relaxing place to be and it's cool how close it is to the airport. It's fun to watch the boats, planes and look for sea creatures and just stare into the water or the sunset or the distance. Read a book, sit on the many benches, take a nice walk, or bring some food for a picnic. Some people go fishing here too. There weren't any restrooms that I can remember.

    I enjoyed it very much except for the jeep that crossed the double line to almost run me over in the crosswalk. I was wearing highly visible baseball cap and fluorescent green and a purple jersey with fluorescent clean lettering.

    Good open area park with good views. There's a couple of picnic tables and some benches under a few trees. Great for field games and running around.

  • 5/5 Warren W. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice little, quiet park. People were fishing, jogging and sunbathing. There are a few benches in the shade. You can watch boats and planes at the same time.

  • 5/5 Ethan B. 9 months ago on Google
    great place to fish, not crowded at all.

  • 4/5 Marquis W. 1 year ago on Google
    I fly my drone here. It's very nice and quite and friendly. At first i thought it was not safe for drones. But i have a drone app that tells me places i can fly and can't fly. This place is safe to fly. I never fly over near the runway but yeah it's a nice family friendly or date night or kid friendly park. I gave it four stars because there's no restroom. So you have to leave to go to the restroom.

    Love this beautiful park! It’s so nice to sit under a tree next to the water - calming view!! Although there is a huge ant issue. Still one of my favorite parks and would be better without all the ants taking over 🐜!

  • 5/5 Kristin D. 1 year ago on Google
    The most lovely park! Went to a little picnic in the park with some friends + it was the most relaxing evening. The water + sunset views are exquisite. As well, it’s always fun to watch the planes soar over you + land. The dog park is also a fun spot, if you have fury friends + I love that it includes a bit of the shore for them to enjoy. All in all, I would highly recommend!

    Very pleasant place, just grab snacks and sit for hours, never feel bored. Small trail for walk, jog, cycling, skating. Best spot for fishing and watching ships and boats. Kids enjoy playing in Big lawn. 2 different locations available for limited parking. Susnsets time will be the best.

  • 5/5 Paquita P. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a hidden gem. This park is quiet, has a walking path, and benches to sit and watch the diving pelicans. People enjoyed playing frisbee.. It was very relaxing. Note-there are no bathrooms in the area.

    What a beautiful park- saying this as a person who doesn't like parks much! Outlooking the beautiful yacht docks littered with sailboats. Trees are amazing for hanging a hammock for study session. When you follow the trail a bit to the right you come across a pointe (walk up until you get to the hidden rocky beach area) which is excellent for fishing and just chilling! One note is the water has become very rusty colored and it is not as good for fishing anymore.
