Love this park! Most of the time there aren't that many people so it's great for social distancing…read moreduring this pandemic. There are different sections of the park such as a swing area, a baby area, slides/ obstacles area. The variety is great for the kids and helps space out. There are also picnic tables under a shelter as well for a quick snack or lunch break. There is street parking around the park. Overall, this park is great for a less crowded option.

Glencliff Park is located in the Westchase District of West Tampa off Countryway Boulevard, South…read moreof West Linebaugh Avenue and North of West Hillsborough Avenue. Glencliff Park's kids playground only has 1 slide that is not smooth enough to slide down without getting stuck several times, way too much space wasted on netting with no reason for kids to climb it, boring swings, and a spinner that will leave you dizzy real fast. Glencliff Park's kids playground is shaded which is nice but there is not even enough stuff to properly even play hide and seek and there are no teachable educational areas like at Baybridge Park kids playground. Glencliff Park left my daughter bored after 5 minutes and asking to leave. Glencliff Park's kids playground is designed for children 5-12 years old but completely leaves out any area for younger kids 2-5, unlike Westchase's other superior kids playground, Baybridge Park. I hope the Westchase Home owners association can get rid of all the wasted space from the netting no one climbs, add education stuff, more slides, and an area for younger kids like Baybridge Park. Glencliff Park also features 2 shaded picnic areas, bathrooms, a paved nature trail, a wooden boardwalk to a big lake, 2 full size basketball courts, a soccer field, an open field for various community events, and 2 large parking lots with free parking. If you're coming to play soccer or basketball, this is a good spot. If you're looking for a nice kids park, I have to recommend Baybridge Park over this park down the road off West Linebaugh Avenue in Westchase.

This is a nice, huge park!…read more The soccer field is awesome for practicing, and large enough for plenty of other activities. There is a public restroom and picnic tables. The playground is good for kids up to about 12 years old, but that's pushing it. It's got a nice overhead covering so good for sunny days or when there's a little drizzle. There's also plenty of benches for parents.

This park is not too far from my house and is a nice spot to take your pup for a little time off…read moreleash! We took my pup Elphaba (Elphie) to the dog park side for her 3rd Birthday (adoption day since we don't know the exact date). She came to live with us 2 years ago when she found us on our visit to the Tampa Bay Humane Society! We didn't go to the human side of the park but we saw a decent crowd there and a lot of families. All of the park is quite shady which is nice in Florida. COVID: It was outdoors but if you are worried, there wasn't a mask in sight. There were large groups of people under the pavilion sitting together with no masks. We just stayed away from there. Everyone in the dog park side was completely socially distanced from each other, so no worries on that side. The park could use a little refresh and the biggest problem I found is there is no separation for small dogs. My dog is 9 lbs and she was in the park with dogs who weighed up to 100 lbs and were much larger. At one point I had to rescue her since she was the only small dog and the other dogs began to chase her, flipping her over, and stepping on her. They didn't mean to hurt her but they did by playing too rough for her size. They also need to add more grass if it's possible. Your dog is going to be pretty dirty after a visit since there's a lot of dirt area and very little grass. Otherwise, it's still a great place and it's nice to have a spot to take your dog where he or she can run around and have fun. There are plastic bags at the front gate for you to clean up after your dog. Everyone we saw did so and I never saw any doggy poop in the park area. They have a little, plastic pool you can fill up with water and a couple of dog bowls out for water as well. We spent about an hour to hour and a half there celebrating Elphie's Bday! We shared some peanut butter doggy cheesecake and birthday dog treats with the other visitors and had fun meeting people and their dogs from afar! I'm very grateful to have a dog park close by!

Palma Ceia Park is nestled in a leafy residential south South Tampa neighborhood and is a nice…read moreplace to spend time with family and friends (human and canine).There is limited parking with only a limited number of designated spots, however parking can be found on side streets adjacent to the park itself. Most streets in the area only allow for parking on one side so be sure to be mindful of this and check the posted signs. It seems that most people who make use of the park live on the neighborhood and everyone I have encountered is very nice. Although I have not actually gone into the other part of the park beyond the dog play area, there is a fenced in area which is good for small gatherings. There are picnic tables under a shelter and a public restroom. There is also a grassy, fenced in area which is suitable to play catch, soccer, or tag or whatever your heart desires. There is also a basketball court and children's' playground play set in addition to a (basic) charcoal grill. The dog park area is fenced and has somewhat sandy ground. There are trees and areas of shade and picnic benches. In the center there is a water station with hoses and water bowls for your four-legged loves. Doggie waste bags are well stocked whenever I've been there. The area can be a bit bug ridden in the evening so it may be smart to cover your skin or wear bug repellent if you have sweet blood. Whenever I bring my dog Sophia she has a marvelous time interacting with other dogs and people. There is plenty of space for her to get her insane amount of energy out. This is one of my favorite dog parks.

(From March, 2022)…read more Never crossed my mind that this would be considered a park as it's more of an art exhibit from the outskirts of it. It's small but has some statues, a water fountain, and artwork that will make you turn your head when you walk past it. As you walk past, you might as well take a turn into it and explore. You'll probably get through it in 10 minutes but it makes you appreciate how cool of a city Tampa is. For the most part it was clean but there's some gum on the ground. Watch your steps here!

The recreation area & housing projects formerly known as Central Park Village are well known in and a major part of Tampa's archives now & then. Take a look at the "Lifetiles" along the park's wall of Black History and near the grassy field that was once a world renowned American skatepark developed in the 70's called The Bro Bowl. The park is about 11 acres yet spacious enough for dogwalkers, skaters, & fitness officianados. Some of the happenings that have taken place include: The Tampa Bay Veg Fest, BBQ Love Fest, The Fight Wright Foundation's Annual 5k Walk/Festival by (Dr. Vondalyn Wright) a survivor & true pioneer of the former Central Park Village. An annual Easter Eggstravaganza sponsored by 1828 Entertainment (Marlon Wright). A host of vendor & market events have taken place at the park as well. *There are local businesses near on the east end (off from the park). ***One interesting note in particular is that the cross street from Central Avenue is titled "Ray Charles Boulevard". Named for his connection to the city within Tampa's Rhythm + Blues music scene and apparently the HeyDays of (R+B) in the early 1950-60's & 70's. *This area was once titled Central Park Village. The park also has a water sprout or splash pad for kids as well as a picnic area. Come take a look at the giant musician statues, murals & more. Parking is free and just in front of the shaded table area.

The parking is limited but this park is perfect for those who live in the neighborhood. This area is very urban and backyards are scarce.

Lights are shut off similarly. This park has an enormous open field for soccer and football. 2 basketball courts, 2 volleyball courts, a playground for kids and a smaller field. Plenty of parking spaces and a bathroom. A few covered areas for seating as well. A great public park in the heart of lansbrook, paid for with our HOA fees but otherwise free to enjoy.

My son always has a great time here. There's also one bathroom here and I recommend they get a kiddie toilet seat for children that can pee on the toilet. A 1.5 hour pass is $22 plus tax. It's really easy to book online. I've only gone here on the weekends so I can't say anything about their classes.
