So pleasantly surprised with the beauty & variety of plant species. The staff was incredible & took time to talk plants with me. I work at a plant nursery so really valued their knowledge and the amazing care taken through out the property! Highly recommend!

Beautiful little park. Really enjoyed this hidden gem. Beautifully landscaped. They had the biggest bottlebrush tree I've ever seen! Clean and family friendly. Great place for a peaceful stroll along the boardwalk and paths. Would definitely visit again.

This is a lovely little park. It has a wonderfully shady boardwalk (about 1/3 of a mile), a picnic area, a greenhouse filled with a variety of orchids and a few trails (they were closed during our trip). The park is very well maintained. Bikes and scooters are not permitted. Bathrooms were closed. Beautiful gardens provide gorgeous background for photos. We were there for about an hour.

Very pretty little park for a short stroll, especially if you are interested in plants since they have many labeled. It would be a great place for a picnic or party. My dogs came along on leash, so much to sniff!

Corey Brown | Aug 25, 2019

It is very shady! I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to go for a pretty long walk (several laps) without having to use my giant shade hat. The boardwalk and the majority of the paths are completely shaded.

Kids and adults swim at the park every day... The park placed a barrier to keep alligators and other animals out of the spring...

What is the distance of the the trail / boardwalk? Does the path circle the park and end where it begins or is the path linear forcing you to turn around once the path ends to get back to beginning?

Marcus Bell | Aug 25, 2019
Sam B | Aug 25, 2019

I'd say all of the gardens and boardwalk aren't more than a mile and a half, probably even less than that. The boardwalk circles back around to the entrance of the park!

Michele Saunders | Aug 25, 2019
Sarah Taylor | Aug 25, 2019

Call 813-744-5536 or look online at Hillsborough County parks. They do both a shelter rental and a room rental. Room rental depends on the capacity, anywhere from $85.60 per hour to $149.80 per hour.

Is there swimming

Richard Lang | Aug 25, 2018
Enrique Carrizales | Aug 25, 2018

No. But it's not named after the road that it's on. It's the opposite. There was originally a natural spring there, but basically dried up due to the construction of the Tampa bypass canal. The road was named after the park.

Lithia Springs County Park and Hillsborough River State Park allow swimming, Wekiwa Springs State Park near Lake Apopka is pretty nice but a bit further away. Hillsborough County and the state of Florida have park websites that list what activities are available at each park.

Can dogs be off the leash

Denise McGlon | Aug 25, 2018
Patrick Hedgecoth | Aug 25, 2018

It is a county park, so you must obey county ordinances unless otherwise posted. Which means unless there is a sign stating the dog can be without a leash, a leash is necessary. You would need to find a dog park if you want to go unleashed.
