beautiful, clean, and peaceful place to spend time with family. There are no slides, but kids absolutely love the splash pad with fountains and the big tipping bucket that pours water over them — so much fun! The whole area feels fresh and safe, with lots of open space to run and play. The view of the river and the city skyline across the water is simply stunning, especially at sunset. One of the most unique and cool things is watching the rowing teams train in their long boats on the river — it’s really impressive! There are also picnic tables, shaded areas, and plenty of grass to relax. Everything is well maintained, and the vibe is friendly and chill. Great spot for a family outing or just a quiet walk by the river. Highly recommend!

Up to date park with plenty of options around to keep you active and get fresh air. There are different table stations, courts, kids area with a free water play zone, and walking trails that leads you to other spots along the hillsborough river. It is an event part so its better to check in advance if the park is available or not because they will block off areas for that and cause traffic.

This place is beautiful. I used to go here as a kid. The bat bridge is right near there that used to have all the bats under it. Really upgraded it's beautiful down there now!!

We loved the riverfront park, a lot to do in the area ( basketball, tennis, pickleball, running, exercising equipment) we loved the splash pad and the park, after playing about we walked the riverside and it was very peaceful and calming. We watched a few boats pass us by very friendly folks aboard, we all loved seeing all the art work. Beautiful environment !! We will be returning soon!!!

We discovered this park while looking for a place to play tennis. The courts are well maintained, with shade and water fountains, we really enjoyed playing there. The park itself is quite big, there are soccer and basketball fields, also a playground with a splash pad, and many beautiful spots for sitting. Paring is free.
