Not many people know about this little gem 💎 I can't believe there's something so pure right in the middle of the hood 🤣 even as I was there people were stopping to look at me take photos! Great spot to relax and please don't litter!

This is a residential park so no restrooms or picnic tables. Limited parking. It is nice for a picnic on the grass looking at the Hillsborough river. The walk is maybe 5 minutes along the river.

Can you imagine loosing everything? Being homeless. Then people treat you like you are not HUMAN!
It is great these PEOPLE can relax in water!! It is ALL they HAVE!!!
What the heck is wrong with y'all??
If you went through what they go through in one day...you would do exactly what they do!!
Do yourself a favor. Pick up some of the trash and go gain understanding.

So much possibility of beautification and preservation… such little efforts from the city and office in charge.

Usual sleepover and gathering area for so many troubled and homeless, its lack of maintenance/fixing and proper lighting are a bad cocktail.

Trashed, homeless bathing in the springs waters… 🤷🏻‍♂️

It could ve so much more…

I love the natural spring, but it's not being taken good care of. It's getting overwhelmed with plants, and it's almost stopped up by large limbs by the drain. People are camping out there, and it tends to get to smelling bad.

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.

I drove by here probably 25 times before I realized it was a park. It’s so pretty, the little waterfall is relaxing and the Hillsborough River is across the street. The bad part is the homeless people bathe in the springs so it can be a little sketchy...it’s mostly in the evening. There was some litter along the path but it kinda comes with the area, sadly. I still recommend checking it out, cool place

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.
