The park is very well maintained from parking, pavilions, paths, tables and grounds. There is a walking path from pavilion one to the back end of park. Through trees and on a Boardwalk along lake. The are out cropings from path with tables to sit right by waters edge. Very peaceful walk with nice scenery. Great place to picnic also has a launch point for boats. I was able to spot four alligators in the lake on my visit. There is swings for kids and ample trash cans around to keep park clean. Not a long walking path maybe 1/2 mile at most so hiking is not happening here. This is a relax, see view, go for a stroll hang out and have picnic place. Does all that very well.See more..
4.5Craig Park(60 reviews) - Put Craig on your list☺ Spent < 1 hour Parks
From Chamber of Commerce and Pinellas Ave, go west, young person, for two blocks along West Tarpon Avenue. Craig Park has a grand staircase descending to the bowl-shape basin containing the bay. The park also houses Heritage Museum and War Memorial, as well as green space for picnics and relaxation under towering palms or gracious Live Oaks (quercus virginiana). In early June, more manatees lazed in the water than humans in the park. For those with limited travel budgets—like me—Craig Park is a must-see Tarpon Springs site. There’s a bonus that costs nothing: Walk along Spring Boulevard to admire restored magnificent mansions, depicted in the accompanying photos. I felt as though I was on the HGTV set for ‘Rehab Addict’ or ‘Bargain Mansions.’See more..
4.5Splash Park(3 reviews) - Children birthday party and play date Bodies of Water • Parks • Playgrounds
My granddaughter loves this even though she is now too big to play it just makes you smile having water sqirt out of the ground randomly:)See more..
We rode by here on our bikes and couldn’t help but imagine how much fun it must have been for the canines to have their own park in Tarpon Springs. Dogs could frolic in the grass and play with each other without being judged or reprimanded for poor behavior. Definitely worth a visit if you’re a dog.See more..
