We didn't go for months as I was afraid to have it happen again. They since cleaned it but are back to neglecting it. Going to try Northshore Park as I have heard they do a better job of keeping it clean there. Too bad, Crescent Lake is a beautiful park otherwise.

Disappointed they don't allow dogs and no mention of this til youre right at the opening.read more

This is a great nature preserve to visit in the middle of St Pete! We saw many birds, native plants…read moreand baby alligators huddling in a nest! It's was incredible. We took the mile long loop, that meandered a very natural area of native Florida plants and trees. We loved the rustic, natural feel of the park with clearly marked trails. $3.00 to get in at the visitors center that is pretty cool to look at, too! Don't forget the rescued birds just outside the visitor center.

Parking along the waterfront free after 8pm. The waterfront is so cool. Look at the boats, look at…read morethe water, check out all the restaurants, check out the park. Truly, downtown St. Petersburg is a party Haven!

I just love it here :)

This park is blocks away from our home and the go to spot for our neighborhood walk.

On most days you can see Tampa and the view of the St. Pete Pier is beautiful. We are at the park pretty regularly, but it's also a place we take our visitors for walks.

We found a pond full of birds, two lizards on a bench, fish jumping out of the water and the tower itself is very tall and quite a sight! We had the best time and it is a very nice trail. We saw walkers, runners and bikers so good for all sorts of activities! Plenty of parking, quiet and serene. Get out there early or late in the evenings to avoid the heat bring plenty of water, wear sunscreen and stay on the path and you'll have a great time!

This is a pretty nice park. It is all fenced which is nice. One section has exercise equipment…read morefor the adults (although kids try some of them also). My only issue with this side is there is one piece of equipment that I cannot figure out how to use. Wish there was some signs with instructions or illustrations for each piece of equipment. Other part of park is for the kids. One section seems like a toddler area with baby swings nearby. There are also 2 regular swings in this section. In the middle are lots of climbing type pieces with a section with a slide. There are at least 3 spin type pieces and one "elevator" type piece you have to climb up to the step area. This is not obvious so my great niece had to watch someone else do it before she figured out how it worked. After that it was her favorite thing to do. The slide only has a bar type climb access which is not great if you have a kid that prefers steps or is smaller. There is a slide in the toddler area that is easier to get up to but a smaller length slide. Overall we enjoyed coming to this playground. It has wood chips on the ground and is fairly shaded. There is parking for about 6 vehicles which seemed adequate when we were there. It is at the end of a neighborhood and runs along Gulfport Blvd. I recommend trying this location especially if you are near this area.
