Looking for something new to do with your friends or family? Do you want to go out without spending a ton of money? Visiting from out of town and don’t know what to do?
Then you must check out these 3 local parks!
Recently, the Trust for Public Land ranked St. Pete #1 in the state for parks! So we decided to get out and find a couple that we really loved and maybe go overlooked from time to time. The 3 parks we found all share unique characteristics, that we feel, set them apart from others. Whether its peacocks, picturesque walks or beautiful mangrove canopies, each park has something different to offer.

Walking through this park is like stepping into old-time St. Pete. The brick road and quiet open space make this the perfecting spot for an afternoon stroll.

This park is located just a few minutes from downtown. However, you’d never know it. Because visiting Roser Park is like escaping from busy city life.

Weedon Island

We spent the day at Weedon Island Preserve
We rented a kayak from the awesome Sweetwater Kayaks, who pointed us in the direction of the most picturesque mangroves. Spent a couple hours exploring these water trails. We met a crab that wanted to come with us but had to leave him behind.

Did a little hiking on the beautiful trails and then cooled off in the AC at the Cultural and Natural History Center. We learned about the local ecosystems and saw a Canoe from over 1,000 years ago.
Lastly, we caught a gorgeous sunset and decided to call it a day.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to explore these grounds, definitely get out and see it.
We highly recommend doing this either by kayak or paddleboard as you get to see so much more. Either way, this isn’t a site to be missed.
