That's basically what you experience here! "Bayshore Boulevard is a waterfront road on Hillsborough Bay in South Tampa, Florida. Located south of downtown Tampa, its sidewalk, at 4.5 miles long, is 10 feet wide and is the longest continuous sidewalk in the United States." The sidewalk is amazing for working out because it seems like it never stops. I love exercising here. This place can get pretty crowded if you go later in the afternoon, the earlier the better. You can also find bikes & scooters along the trail to rent. The bike cost $1+.49 /minute. They pre authorize your card for $17 but only charge you for the time you use. If you're interested in renting a bike I have a promo code you can use for a free ride. Sign up for Spin and use code PYWOHR4RZW10XV3 to get a free ride! https://spin.app Parking seems to be all over the Blvd on the other side of the street in the residential areas but I tend to park in the paid parking area because it's just easier to find a park for me. Parking is $1.50 an hour and can be paid at the kiosk or on the app, park mobile.

When living in Tampa, I was able to visit the Bayshore Trail so much more and it truly is one thing…read morethat I do miss since moving over to Pinellas. I am pretty sure my girls do as well. I always made sure that I would get there early as it can get very crowded with other patrons with their pups and the fitness lovers. The trail is a good width but adding runners, walkers, bikers, roller-bladders and those with dogs and some fisherman... you do often have to adjust to try to make everyone comfortable. My little Bears are classic small dogs that suddenly think they are Dobermans while on a leash when another dog is close so I try to be as respectful of others as much as possible, going early helps and you can beat the heat. PLUS.... the views. Oh my goodness, the views are just so beautiful and a wonderful way to welcome to day over Tampa Bay. On a good day, it is not crazy to see dolphins and I have often had them swim along the trail with you while you walk. Can't hate that. The trail does have areas where people can stop and work out, sit and there are areas that have doggie water fountains.

It's a beautiful green…read morespace to fish, to bring your dog for a run, to sit under one of the huge oak trees, or to relax on one of a few park benches. There are no amenities here other than trash cans, benches, and disposable bags to pick up after your dog. There is a sidewalk that runs the length of the park, too, and this sidewalk will connect you to Rivercrest Park if you head south on it. If you head north on the sidewalk, it will take you under the bridge at Hillsborough Avenue and connect you to the sidewalk that is on the north side of Hillsborough Ave. Just be cautious when going under the Hillsborough Bridge - that area can be a bit sketchy. It's a tiny park, but still a very pretty secluded space to hang out.

Ignacio Haya Linear Park is located in South Seminole Heights. It (almost) connects Rivercrest Park…read moreto Hillsborough Ave and runs (surprise!) in a line along the river. It's a popular place for people to sit beneath the trees and enjoy the shade and cool breezes along the river. There is a walking trail which is also suitable for kids to ride a bike on. If you're a grown-up you'll ride on the road, which is parallel to the sidewalk. There's a picnic shelter, playground, and grill located at Rivercrest Park but no restrooms. Ignacio Haya Park has no amenities other than a little dirt slope down to the river with a small sign that says "canoe launch". However, it is a nice, quiet, natural oasis in the city. There is space to park along the road. If you're biking north from downtown on Boulevard, follow Osborne, turn onto River, and use the Ignacio Haya sidewalk to go under (across) Hillsborough Ave. You'll be able to ride into "Old" Seminole Heights this way. There is a homeless presence under the Hillsborough bridge in the evenings.

Nice local park in far south Tampa…read more I came here with my daughter and my dog. We followed the Google map directions, and we ended up parking just about as far away from the dog park as one can park (if you don't want to circumnavigate the lake, enter the Interbay Little League area off MacDill, and follow the signs to the dog run parking lot). There's a well-kept, paved path around the lake, and there are a few benches here and there to rest and look at the water. The path is not shaded, so be forewarned. The dog park is pretty nice. There are three fenced areas: one for small dogs, one for regular dogs, and one that is for more aggressive dogs. We went into the largest area, which had dogs of all sizes, but all the dogs were good natured. My pup loved running around with all the friendly dogs. The area seemed pretty clean (there are dog bag dispensers and trashcans strategically placed around the area, and owners seemed conscientious.) there was a doggie water fountain, which was a nice touch. There were muddy areas, but who doesn't expect to have to bathe your dog after going to the dog park? There were a few picnic tables for the owners to use, and there were some trees for shade.

Along the trail, there are benches to sit, relax, and look at the water. There was an equal balance between shaded areas and being in full sun. There are little workout stations there too and a nice dog park. I saw some interesting wildlife the day that I went. There were a lot of dragonflies just fluttering around. I also saw some pretty, bold squirrels, too. The dogs enjoyed chasing the squirrels up the tree and the squirrels seem to enjoy taunting the dogs. I saw families with little ones, small groups, and individuals walking, jogging, and biking. They stayed a safe distance from one another so that we could all comfortable enjoy the day. This is a great little neighborhood park! I will definitely return.

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.
