Nice gated playgrounds, walking trail, tennis courts, and baseball fields. Also, there's a pool and water play area. This location offers a lot for the community. The recreation center itself has restrooms, a gym, a banquet hall and lots of classrooms. And, there is so much of nature to see! I've seen pelicans, ducks, and otters on this property. Overall, I love this place and will continue to visit regularly.

Amazing local park with something for everyone and all ages. A lake with gazebo, one-mile exercise trail, basketball courts, skate park, pool, workout equipment, plenty of covered picnic tables and a recently updated indoor recreation facility.

Lake Vista is a great refuge to study, work out, and take a quiet stroll of meditation. The highlight is worship on Sunday at New Philadelphia Christian Center. Pastor Bobby delivers authentically and brings reinforcement and revelation. Pastor Steven brings humor to truth and is intentional about reaching single men and women for Christ! Lake Vista is a get away for children and adults in different ways! Most importantly it serves as a bridge to the community through the spoken gospel hidden within.💖 Nurse Jolie, Unapologetically Me!💖✝️💖

Finally, Saint petersburg city council makes a public skate park. Welcome to the early 1990s, St Pete!
