Great little park. Has a fantastic bird sanctuary up front with informational and friendly volunteers. The park features a lot of small walks and some walks near the water. The only thing I will warn (which is nothing the park can control) is there are wild pet peacocks who will attack cars. So be careful with that.

Moccasin Lake Nature Park is a delightful place to spend time. There are trails to walk, a picnic pavillion, and best of all, several raptors on display as they recover and are cared for. We saw and talked to one of the park volunteers who was handling a red-shouldered hawk. An added bonus was a wild peacock who joined us in the picnic area. The peacocks wander around free and seem comfortable around people. Overall, a delightful place!!

A little gem of a park and bird rescue only 20mins from our house located in Clearwater,FL. Great place for kids to run and explore.

It is closed on Mondays. It is a small, quiet, shady park in a neighborhood above another park. I had planned to go for years but didn't go until I attended a memorial for dear friends. It was a wonderful surprise on a very difficult day. It was the perfect place to honor my friends and find solace. I have already returned. Don't be surprised if you hear the scream of a peacock that roam the neighborhood. The picnic area is nice. I love the birds and turtles. They seem to have education show and tell with birds on Saturday but it might have been a special event.

Question, r small dogs welcome at park?

jimmy v | Aug 30, 2020
Moccasin Lake Nature Park | Aug 30, 2020

While pets are not permitted in Moccasin Lake because of our injured bird collection, immediately next door is Cliff Stephens Park and a little beyond that is Kapok Park both of which are great for walking and pets. Be sure to be wary near the water as the occasional alligator makes a showing.
