Rivercrest Park

Tourist attraction Park

👍👍 A very serene and sweet green space available for all to use. Wonderfully old amd majestic oak trees to sit under and admire for their beauty and longbrnahces that touch the ground. Great water access amenities for kayaks,only wish the car-to-waterway path was a little closer. People often mention park, river, playground, nice, walking, Nice, kids, trees, Great, walk,

    This park is beautiful!!! Tucked away, down by the river, in a neighborhood, but absolutely beautiful. The old trees are magical, nice playground and public dock. However, it seems mostly designed for the surrounding neighbors. We live a few miles away and couldn't resist pulling over for a visit.

    This is a neat little park. There is a dock with a launcher for canoes or kayaks. There is a little playground, some big trees to climb on, a little walking trail, grassy areas to run through or lay out on blankets. The water has boats and you can fish from the retaining wall.

    This is a very nice Tampa, FL park located along the Hillsborough River in the northern part of the city. Nice walking path, Gazebo, playground, etc. as well as Ibis and Ducks seen here. Not busy.

    Beautiful park with plentiful of green space, fishing / boating dock, shady oaks, and soothing water views of Hillsborough river

    Nice for a short walk (less than a mile paved trail) along the river. Has a Pavillion. Part of the beauty is the beautiful houses (okay, mansions) in the neighborhood. Parking is easy, it has a few small parking lots. I walked past the park to a connecting park for a longer walk and enjoyed the public artwork.

    Love this park , the playground area is always clean. The tree are well kept and full of life. The walk path by the river is enjoyable. The people on boats are always waving as they pass by. Beautiful scenery.

    Absolutely gorgeous and clean. Nice view and stroll along river. Had a picnic on the grass and felt absolutely and comfortable there. Great family park. No basketball, if that's what you're looking for in a park. At least, I didn't see any courts.

    I enjoy this park very much it's a nice inviting park for both kids and adults. The sidewalk that runs through the parks takes you right along the Hillsborough River. it's perfect for a walk, jog or even just to sit along the river and meditate. I enjoy watching the boaters go by. 🥰

    Great park for a stroll or jog. There is a kayak launch and a very nice kids playground. The only downside is there are no bathrooms.

  • 4/5 Lily V. 1 year ago on Google
    Gorgeous view. Nice morning breeze we had though still warm out. Not super hot like summer ofc. 😂 Oct time in West Florida.

  • 5/5 Keyona B. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this park. My kids & I came across thus by accident. Nice, clean area. Not far from our home & plenty of space to do activities. Friendly people are always here.

    It’s a nice park but I go here for river fishing and it’s pretty bad. The public pier is a floating pier so it rocks back and forth like crazy. Not to mention there’s no fish at all.

  • 5/5 Gabrielle H. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great park. Very large, on the river, large playground with fresh mulch. Plenty of picnic tables and shade.

  • 5/5 Stanley S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a real nice park right on the river. Nice! Huge old oak trees and very clean. Highly recommended.

    Enjoyed a picnic lunch here one day. There is a nice playground for kids and sidewalks for walking around with a view of the river. There are also big oak trees.

  • 4/5 Priscilla C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great walk with lots of shade, trash cans, doggy poo bags. The playground is nice!! Only thing that would make this park better is a bathroom.

    It's a pretty little park. I went on Sunday after church. It was not very crowded, but it was definitely hot.

  • 5/5 Beatrice B. 2 years ago on Google
    A lovely, small riverfront park. (The construction is about done now, so it’s looking good.) Big old trees with hanging moss. A playground for kids with a lot of shade. A covered gazebo, and picnic tables scattered around. Paths for walking, jogging. A small floating dock for kayaks or canoes (far from the road).

  • 5/5 TK A. 5 years ago on Google
    The place is such a best park beside the river. It’s peaceful and beautiful. You definitely check it.
