When we lived in the New Tampa area, this was our park of choice. There were just enough things for…read moremy preschooler to do to keep her busy and it was covered. This meant that on hot summer days we could play without overheating quickly. Recently my visits have been to the softball fields and not to the park. Before Covid shit everything down, they appeared to be in the process of updating it. During the winter and early spring I participate in a softball league that plays at the fields located at the back of this complex. The fields are always well maintained and ready to go when we show up to play. Only once or twice in my four years playing has something happened that caused a delay. The manager of the fields was there and was able to quickly rectify it. The complex also features a skate park, a dog park, and soccer fields. They also have large mixed use fields located under the lights.

This park has a playground and a splashpad for kids, a small skateboard/bike area for kids, a dog park pavillions for picnics, restrooms by the play area and dog park and a really nice long walking path around the huge pond. There is also a small stage near the big open field so it would be a good location for concerts. The park is on county land adjacent to a water treatment plant, which supplies the pond with reclaimed water. What a great use of space! I will bet most people wouldn't notice that but I work for another local government so I notice those things. Lots of people were out enjoying the nice weather. People with their kids in the kids area, people with their pets in the pet atea and people like me shopping for plants. They also had some food trucks out and staff/volunteers directing traffic and keeping things nice. Again, great venue for a festival in the heart of Carrollwood Village.

The playground has swings for different age groups and abilities. My kids enjoyed going down the slides, the rope- and rock-climbing structures, musical elements, and spinning structure. There's plenty of shade over the playground and benches for parents. The newly opened splash pad was a hit with my kids. Plenty of shaded seating for parents and bathrooms are nearby. Don't forget to pack snacks for the kids (please clean up after your family), sunscreen and reusable water bottles. Not as crowded before 12 pm.

Tables and chairs dirty. Bathroom was filthy, pee in toilet, trash over flowing, sink leaking, rings around toilet it was DISGUSTING! Said she was going to have the space renovated by the time of my sister's baby shower, SHE DID NOT. (If anything conditions were worse!) UNPROFESSIONAL! She had her kids running around and they were at the event space the first 45 mins to an hour of our 5 hour time slot and showed up the last 30-45 mins of our time as well. She was just lingering! Very strange! Finally we cleaned and made sure the space was put back how we found it, honestly better then how we found it because we had wiped all her table and chairs down prior to the event. She said we were good, and said we would get our deposit back in 3-5 business days. She SCAMMED US AND NEVER RETURNED IT. After I texted and called she blocked me on social media and my number as well. $200 gone. She is rude and honestly odd, we were booking for my sister's baby shower, and as we were setting up she was going on rambles about her personal miscarriage and negative baby related things. If I had the time I'd truly take her to court! This has been terrible. Not that I expect them to do anything but code enforcement and BBB have been contacted.
