This park is lovely and always has fun things going on. It’s a great spot for photoshoots as it offers unique backgrounds and lighting in certain spots (light reflecting off of walls and specific windows that can add edge light to give a studio lighting effect just by finding the right spot).

This is a beautiful riverside park that comes alive in the evening with spectacular lighted trees and interactive water features. This park walkway is nice and wide and has several places to sit and take in the scenery on the land and in the water. There are public restrooms as well as some restaurants along the way if you want a snack or drink.

They had Bark in the Park. Everyone brought their dogs for a fun day. Several vendors for dogs and food for us. The park is in the middle of town with a beautiful view of the river.

I really enjoy this park. I walk here on my lunch breaks while at work it along the river walk, hosts events throughout the year, a playground is adjacent. While a dog park is a short distance to the North. Plenty of eating options nearby with the Irish pub to the south and the museum cafe to the north. The children’s museum and the playful water fountains are nearby as well. Plenty of parking garages within walking distance.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Are there places to eat Inn at the park or nearby

Chris Arviso | Aug 30, 2021
Celida Velazquez | Aug 30, 2021

Yes a lot of different backgrounds of food all walking distance. Greek, Asian, Mediterranean, Italian, Small Diners, Pubs etc.. Depends On Your Mood. Agreed and the Eddy and Sams Best Pizza in the area and for Mexican Food Urban Cantina just a few blocks away. Both are well worth it. You can look up places to eat nearby and a ton will come up on your phone. I've eaten almost all and I haven had a bad experience and everything was yummy.

WHO IS CURTIS HIXON?

Paul Hobson | Aug 31, 2019
Farileyme Farileyme | Aug 31, 2019

Mr. Hixon is a pillar of the community. Anytime you see buildings, Bridges, streets. something named after someone. They are famous pillars of the community large money donors or something. You just have to Google it. I mean Google will tell you everything. Tampa is a very rich town in different cultures. It's a great place to live it's always something to do. it's never a dull moment here. I was just go on Google and just Google some of the things that your interested in are you have questions about. But I would definitely do that next time around before I get on here and start asking questions I would advise anybody Google what you have a question on first. and if you are still unsure. then come on here and ask us. happy learning
