Are you depressed due to high gas prices, covid-19 issues? Then come on down to Lettuce Park. Walk your cares away as you observe nature and Her children. You can rent canoes, and enjoy the Hillsborough River. You can walk in the boardwalk, and look for crocs. Great place to picnic, ride bikes, meditate, jog. Playgrounds.

Always a good time! The kayaking is fun and a great price (note: one person must have a USF ID). Saw several gators last time, as well as many turtles, not to mention gator-turtle "friends". What an experience! Will be back for sure!

Really a beautiful place to spend time kayaking and walking around. Park closes at 5 but they stop sending out boats by 3:30 if you want to go kayaking make sure you be there before that. You can easily spend 2 hours on water enjoying the nature

Awesome place for kayaking, canoeing and rope games! Beautiful and well maintained. There are alligators in lake so be careful about them!

Yes, there is. I have personally seen many disc golf holes in the park. Its a 18 holes course. A quick google search of 'disc golf USF' will give you some necessary information. For more information, i suggest contacting USF campus recreation as the park is maintained and operated by them.
