LETTUCE LAKE PARK REVIEWS
We go here at least once a month and always see something new! Baby alligator on its mama's back, various birds, one bird was diving and swimming 20 Feet and popping up and did that 5 or 6 times! The park is great for kids and they always have clean bathrooms ???? and a cute museum
Beautiful park with lots of amenities. There were working water fountains throughout, great paths, a beautiful boardwalk, clean bathrooms, play structures, picnic tables, and shade shelters that could be reserved. There was also a very nice welcome center with information about the park. Along the boardwalk there was a great viewing tower where I got to see lots of gators, fish, birds and people on the lake.
Great place to visit. Good for relaxation and connect with nature. I spotted gators too!????

EUREKA SPRINGS PARK REVIEWS
I love that this park has an "off the beaten path" feel! It costs $2 to go to the park. There is no park ranger, just a pay station. There are a few trails to walk around with great views. The boardwalk is long and very scenic! They have a great greenhouse to check out, too. The park is also dog friendly. We brought our 3 dogs and they loved it!
Beautiful little park. Really enjoyed this hidden gem. Beautifully landscaped. They had the biggest bottlebrush tree I've ever seen! Clean and family friendly. Great place for a peaceful stroll along the boardwalk and paths. Would definitely visit again.
My first time visiting here. Loved all the plants and flowers. I really liked the boardwalk. My daughter and I will come back when all the other flowers bloom. It's a beautiful place. Small place and it also had a green house with orchids and other plants and flowers. Great place to take pictures

UPPER TAMPA BAY PARK REVIEWS
One of our favorite parks. On a nice day we walk the trails. You can drop your canoe and explore the mangroves and inner bay. Always see cool things while we are here. You can rent canoes and kayaks. They have a little nature center that shows a lot of native species. Bring your dog and enjoy the space. Worth the $2.
Hiking, kayaking, fishing, picnicing, relaxing, and so much more. This place is amazing! Plenty of parking, shelters, and restrooms. Visit the Nature Center to learn more about the flora and fauna living in the area. Rent a kayak! See a Manatee. Bird watch. So. Much. To. Do! Even leashed dogs are allowed in the park. There's a $2 entrance fee, but it is well worth it.
Stunning park. It's so quiet and peaceful. We ended our walk with yoga and light stretches. Plenty of other activities are well. Great for families, couples and folks that just enjoy outdoors
