Great place for relaxing walks, bird watching, picnicking. Near Moffitt Cancer Center and USF. One of the top birding sites in state of Florida.

This park is located near the University of South Florida campus and is quite popular among students & local residents. It is well maintained and offers nice walking trails for you to enjoy Florida nature and the Hillsborough river.

Along the way we saw a few wading birds, alligators, and a few canoes. Also the visitor center had guidebooks and diorama on local animals and plants.

Beautiful park. If you look closely, you will likely see several alligators and birds, as well as other wildlife. Very serene.

Beautiful, swampy Florida -- a gorgeous natural setting complete with alligators, wading birds, and a spectacular boardwalk.
