Baybridge Park is one of my favorite parks with a kids playground that really makes the Westchase Community of Tampa so special and wholesome for families with little ones! Baybridge Park is located in the Westchase Suburban District of West Tampa off Linebaugh Avenue, Montague Street, and Bridgeton Drive. Baybridge Park has a Tot Lot playground for smaller kids 2 to 5 years old and a large playground for older kids 5 to 12 years old. The Tot playground is lower to the ground with 4 small slides and multiple obstacles that are friendly for smaller kids. The large playground has 6 different slides, several obstacles, several points of entry, and even has some teachable games including a traffic sign game, life stages of a butterfly, diagram of the planets, and alphabet letters. Baybridge Park also has swings, a nature trail, a bike path, bathrooms, water fountains, shaded picnic areas, and a large soccer field! Baybridge Park is one of the few parks that has outdoor exercise equipment which is great to keep parents busy while their kids play in the playground and they can still keep an eye on their kids! The Baybridge Park connects to the Westchase community on the other side of Linebaugh via a tunnel going under the street to allow families with little ones safe passage without having to worry about traffic! The Baybridge Park's Tot playground and swing area is covered to protect your little ones from the sun but their big playground is not fully covered. There is a shade at the top of the fort but that's about it. This playground and surrounding area is always very clean and nice. If you're in the Westchase Area of Tampa and have young kids, I definitely recommend checking this park out! read more

My husband decided to change things up today and try a new park. Although Baybridge Park is located in Westchase it was only a 20 minute drive from our house. The slightly dreary weather must have discouraged others from going to the park because we were easily able to find a spot in the tiny parking lot. I immediately noticed how most of the playground is covered with awnings and trees so I would definitely visit this park in the summer when it's too hot and sunny to go to other outdoor playgrounds. There are plenty of swings and two separate areas for the big kids and little kids to play on. My fearless two year old gleefully went down the biggest tube slide on the playground causing me to have a moment of panic, but he absolutely loved it and even tried to climb the rock climbing wall even though he couldn't quite grasp the concept. Besides the playground equipment there are also restrooms, an adult outdoor fitness area, bike paths, and picnic shelters. FYI: this is not a dog friendly park. My husband made the mistake of not checking before he brought our dog so we had to take turns watching the dog while our son played on the playground. Luckily there are plenty of grassy spots outside the playground so we just camped out at a nearby picnic shelter. I'm sure our dog didn't mind hanging out in the shade. After several swing rides trips down the slides my energetic toddler finally started to tucker out so we had a picnic lunch under the shelter at the end of our visit. It was the perfect Sunday adventure before nap time! read more

Thank god for shade. We live in Tampa, it's hot. I don't understand any park that doesn't have shade. Luckily, Westchase shares my love of coverings because every park I've been to since living here has them. The parking lot is small, but it's bigger than the Westchase Rec Center! I thought for sure I wasn't going to find a spot because the Mom's Club was having their Thanksgiving Potluck here. Part of it was probably the smaller amount of people who showed up, but there were two spots when I pulled up an hour and ten minutes late! My baby was napping, don't judge. There are both smaller and larger play structures. My friend was corralling her toddler away from the larger one, but the smaller one was the perfect size. And then if you have an older kid, he/she will probably enjoy the large one. They also have three picnic tables which were great for our potluck. I didn't go in the restroom, but I saw that they existed! read more

This is definitely one of the best kids park in Westchase. My kids love coming here and it's always busy. The best part about this park is it's covered so even through the hot days the kids can enjoy it without being burned by the sun. There are usually a lot of birthday parties on the weekend so parking can be a headache sometimes. But overall a very nice park . read more

Enclosed park, lots of shade, seating, picnic shelters, clean bathrooms and plenty of playground to satisfy the energy of any kid. This park is located in Westchase community, It's one of many in the area. But probably one of the best. On my most recent visit. I saw a massive inflatable obstacle course for kids of all ages. What a great space to allow for an amazing birthday party idea. I love that the floor is soft so when my clumsy little one falls, She doesn't hurt herself. I also appreciate all the shaded playground area. Summers are rough but nothing hurts more than a slide sitting uncovered. Not to mention my desire to leave very shortly after arriving when there isn't shade to shelter in. read more

This is my son's favorite park, therefore, my favorite park for kids in the Westchase area. It is a safe park, you will always find really nice parents spending time with their kids. Most importantly, this place is always clean and well maintained. I find amazing the fact that the little kids park is under a canopy because it can get really hot sometimes. This park has bathrooms, a water fountain for you to drink, picnic tables for you to eat and many garbage cans for you to keep it clean. The best part of this park is that is next to a huge grass field where your kid can run, play soccer or host a bday party with a bouncy house. If you are searching for a park to take your little one so they can burn some of that energy, look no more, just come here and you will be very pleased! read more

Baybridge has a very much improved play area for the children.This is a great park for all ages. There is a lot for the little ones to do in the structure play area with nice shade protection. In addition, they have a large grassy area for a game of soccer or kickball. The park also has a large walkway and nature trail for those looking to relax and enjoy a nice stroll. The park even provides a simple workout stations for those who would like some additional exercise. The only real problem I have seen is the children going into the workout area because there is no on monitoring the area and most parents don't stop them even with the sign requiring only people 18 and above are permitted inside. read more

My 7 month old is showing her love for the outdoors. We were able to hold her on the lower parts of slides and there are two swings for the younger littles with a back. We can't wait to take her back when she's older. The rubber mats are great for protecting during falls. I absolutely love that its shaded throughout the park. There is one designated "big kid" playset and one for little ones. The sign in the front suggested its for ages 2-5. This park will be frequently visited in the future! read more

Great park! So glad I found this gem on Yelp! It's enclosed so you don't have to worry about your kiddos running off or getting in the street with cars. The ground is a rubber material which is really helpful for when they fall they don't get hurt. I love the two different playground areas they had for big kids and the smaller ones. My boys are ages 2 and 1, they had a blast! Lots of benches and seating for parents to watch. I'm not from this area but if I were I'd definitely become a regular! Only thing I recommend is maybe putting a sign that's clear from the street to know where the park is. The entrance was a bit confusing but my gps took me to to the right place! Woo! read more

This is my children's favorite park to visit in all of Tampa! We used to live down the street and came to this park often. Now that we have moved I still get plenty of requests to go to the "Green park". This park is kept clean and has plenty of places for kids to run and play as well as a nice pavilion with picnic benches to sit under and other benches throughout the park for parents to watch their children without having to be on top of them. I also like that there are coverings on top of the playground equipment to keep the sun away. The adjacent field is nice and the grass is lush and green. This is something that is very uncommon in Tampa! There is fitness equipment for adults and a walking trail if you want to be productive while your children play or for practicing riding a bike. I can definitely say that no matter what part of Hillsborough County we move to we will definitely continue to visit this park. read more

Whenever I'm in search of a safe park for the kids to play at, I usually exhaust all other options and make the extra X mile drive to this park just because it's one of the best in the area. There are different play areas, some for smaller and a large climbing playground for the big kids. A lovely walking pathway and even a little field for kicking a ball around or having a nice picnic. I've found many parks hidden in neighborhoods, but they're usually gated and a key is needed. This one is not restricted from the public, so I super appreciate that they're willing to share! Take your kids here! What are you waiting for?! read more

This park is the best!!! I wish I would have known about it sooner. Not to mention the Starbucks across the street! My son really enjoys it and it is clean. You can tell it is very well taken care of. It is fenced in as well so you don't have to worry about your kids running off the second you take your eyes off of them. There is plenty of shaded areas and places to sit. The playground is also big enough to where you can get on it with your child if they are younger and still need some help. I highly recommend this place! My 2 year old son talked about this park for the rest of the day after the first time we went. He is constantly asking to go back too! read more
