William Bartram Memorial Park is named for William Bartram who was a botanist and naturalist who…read moretraveled around the southeastern states in the late 1700's identifying the various flora and fauna, birds and bees of the region. The park is along the bay waters, relatively small with no equipment for kids to play on. It has shade and places to sit. You can watch the boats at dock. It's a quiet place to meditate or just sit, but not a kids centric park. Picnicing is a appealing because of the open spaces and quiet surroundings but there's only a few benches, so bringing a chair or a blanket is a good option for a place to relax any day. There's runs, yoga, fireworks watching, walks in trails and by the water and the Pensacola Seafood Festival now has the main music stage here with vendors throughout. https://www.cityofpensacola.com/facilities/facility/details/bartrampark-17 https://www.facebook.com/pages/William-Bartram-Memorial-Park/158930744146155

The park is named for Vince Whibbs. He was the mayor of Pensacola from 1978 to 1991. He they have a nice statue of him at the end of the park. All in all, I'm going to give this small park four stars.

We discovered this gorgeous park last year and made it there to some great free concerts put on by,…read moremy new favorite music store, Blues Angel Music. Unfortunately there were no Sunday concerts due to Covid but 2021 is looking good. The Vince J. Whibbs, Sr. Community Maritime Park is a multi-use, public-private park development on Pensacola's waterfront. The Randall K. and Martha A. Hunter Amphitheater overlooks beautiful Pensacola Bay. The amphitheater part of the park supports a covered stage a "Back of House" facility that supports two dressing room spaces, & grass seating for up to 5,000. It really is picturesque sitting on that grass with breezes coming off the bay and digging the music, very nice indeed. While I am very fond of the concerts there's a lot more going on in this well laid out, well maintained and highly functional park. The Rotary Centennial Playground is great for kids ages 5-12 and includes climbing structures and more for them to explore and play. The walking path around the water makes the park perfect for working out, biking and running or if you're just looking for a looking for a place to walk that had enough room for social distancing and was by water, this is a great choice. Hey, love to fish? Well you can do that at the park too! Because the park is on the waterfront, it makes a nice place for fishing, there's even a fishing peir. It's also right next door to the Blue Yahoo stadium, the AAA team for the Cincinnati Reds. I know there's a bigger connection to the Yahoo's but not sure what that's about. Let me close by talking about our last concert in 2019. We roll up with our picnic, chairs and coolers and get hit with a little Memphis rockabilly. Wait I just left Memphis and I'm in Florida. LOL But it was really good and everyone was in to it. There was a very nice crowd, very nice people and there's free water and there's a Greek food truck set up on the edge of the concert area at the top of the hill. Somebody slap me LOL Very important note: The great folks at Blues Angel Music put on the free concerts and people are offered a chance to buy raffle tickets for some really cool musical instruments and other nice stuff. They do this to raise money for their foundation that provide musical instruments for schools and those in need, big kudos to those guys. Music has been VERY big influence in my life and I support this effort, it's a pretty big deal! Bottom line: Our last show was rockabilly but there's other genres of music represented by the water at Maritime Park!! You can bring a chair, your cooler and the parking & the admission is free. It's really cool and highly recommended for this weekly family friendly fun outing for your Sunday. Even if concerts aren't your thing it's still just an all around great park. http://facebook.com/pg/communitymaritimepark/events/

Lots of boardwalk areas combined with well maintained sand trails, nice picnic areas and bathrooms along with camping areas. We just stopped in to hike the 3.5 mile loop. We followed the trails which for the most part are well marked but realized somehow even though we were on the main sand trails we weren't on the loop that the ranger told us to follow so it's not hard to get off target. Your phone GPS combine with the provided map proved to be the best solution for us. Peaceful trails, nice bathroom facilities and scenery combined with wildlife made for a great two hour excursion.
