Beautiful Park located near the campus of USF, the university of South Florida. I watched all kinds of people and students enjoying a beautiful day in the park, flying their drones , jogging and going here and there on campus.

We love going to this park, it’s not over crowded and is clean! Most of the parking is permit only but if you catch security at night they’ll let you park for an hour to get your walk or workout done. The bridge is adorable, there’s a gazebo and the water is the perfect relaxing backdrop for some yoga.

The best park around USF. Carry a book, some snacks and a picnic mat! Perfect place to enjoy nature and spend time in the outdoors with your family! You can also see a lovely sunset from this park! Head to Simmons Park today!!

Nice peaceful place to sit have lunch while waiting for friends or family members in moffat having surgery. Just a nice calm place to sit in general.

Located on USF campus, it is a peaceful and friendly park. It is within walking distance of many of USF buildings, publix, and moffitt. There are lots of birds, animals, fish around and ample seating.
