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.

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.

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.

The center is currently closed due to Covid but the bathrooms are open. From what I could tell, on our mad dash to the bathroom and distance viewing, the displays are informative and well done. I'd love to return when it is safe to and take a look. The park has three trails that are part of the spree. We hiked the Bobcat Trail since it includes the boardwalk. The trail travels for about a half mile through trees and over dusty shells. Then it connects to the boardwalk. This was by far the best part. We walked along the beautiful, tree lined water, getting up close and personal with a bunch of small black crabs. We scanned the water for manatees but were not lucky to find any. The trail ends back at the nature center. We climbed the back steps to the top level and caught a great view of the river and the distant city. After the hike we hit up the playground for a few minutes. This is always my kids' favorite part. We also stopped off at the butterfly garden which was pretty active on this day. The park was in great shape, the bathrooms were clean, there were lots of people around doing various park things. Canoeing, kayaking, hiking, nature hunting and playing on the playground are just some of the things available at your fingertips here. So glad we visited! Can't wait to return to check out the other trails.

Don't picture a field, or a basketball court, or an area to tire the kids out... none of that is here. There are a couple of park benches to relax perfect to watch the traffic passing by along Ashley Drive; and the park is located beneath the Selmon Expressway, so there is plenty of shade.

There is a facility here with restroom and a bigger area for idk what. It wasn't open when I went but I'm sure there are times when it is in use. All in all it's a good park for kids or pickup games. I do wish they hard open water fountains and more benches/tables.
