Rivercrest Park

Another jewel in Seminole Heights is

This park located in South Seminole Heights is the southern most park in Seminole Heights. It is easily reached


From South Tampa, just go north on North Boulevard until you can't and you have run into the park.


This park has recently been made part of the Hillsborough River Greenway

It has many amenities.

Good playground equipment


A nice touch is that this equipment is handicapped accessible.


Fishing is a favorite activity. I liked the way this lady fished. A pole, A chair and a magazine/book.


There is a very good waterfront


Even docks, although I have never seen a boat tied up on it.


This is a canoe launching park


I'm guessing this is the launching site.


Throughout the park, a walking path runs through

In the center of the park is the Gazebo.



The three Seminole Heights Neighborhoods will be sponsoring a "Concert in the Park, A Movie Matinee" on Saturday, November 5th at 4PM at Rivercrest Park, under the Gazebo. The Sunshine Brass Band will be performing a selection of movie theme favorites. Everyone is invited to bring a blanket or chair and a picnic. Popcorn will be available for the total movie experience.


There is a interesting tree near the Gazebo


Curiously the park had another name in its past.

I think this park is under threat of them expanding the sewage station there.

No "thinking" about it... it is. It was brought to OSHNA's attention at a recent meeting. The city is going to tear a good chunk of it up.

Until that happens, does anyone know how long the loop is if you complete the entire exterior without taking the "short cut" walks?
