I had been here before. I just was driving through and sat and relax and listen to silence of the water running down. Very relaxing 😎

This is a very small but very nice little park. The little spring area is nice and the Hillsborough River is right across the street. It is not a big park for hiking but if you are in the area it is a cute little park to visit. Lots of ducks and Ibis like the spring and the river.

Small peaceful outdoors location relatively untouched but that's about all it has going, as there's nothing else to see. The park was so small that I could hardly distinguish it from the surrounding neighborhoods. The key attraction is this natural (?) shallow spring that looks cool and will probably hold your attention for four entire minutes. There's also a super busy two way road and highway nearby so it's not exactly the most quiet place either. Anyhow, this park might be worthy if you're living in the area or maybe passing by this road specifically but that's about all.

Can you get in the small pond thing?

Officially No; it is not allowed. However no one is going to stop you and the Police rarely are on patrol there so you should be good.

Can you swim here? Looking to have a swim and picnic somewhere close to the Tampa Bay Area.

No you can't swim there but it's really beautiful and everyone should see it once. This is where ancient explorers and Indians have been getting fresh water for thousands of years. You can put your feet in there it's kind of small not much larger than a big hot tub. If you're looking to swim I would recommend Cypress Point Park or Picnic Island Park. I know for a fact they're both open and there's a lot of ability to distance there. I also recommend Weedon Island Preserve in Pinellas county for exploring
