Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park

We went to this park for the 250th Independance Day on July 4th. The park is very nice, we'll kept and sits on an absolutely great location by the water. It has restrooms right by the splash pad. They have bike/jogging trails along the water and some trails that go through the park. The celebration Liberty By The Bay organized by the City of Tampa was fantastic. Additional food and drink options would have been great. Overall, the entire event was enjoyable for me, my son and my elderly mom. They had options to sit down while we waited for the show to start.

Very quiet mostly in the sunrise even if there’re many activities like running, walking, jogging etc… Great for picnic, well maintained and very charming. The cleanliness is unique.

Such a beautiful location and the place is very well kept! We came down for an evening stroll and were lucky enough to see fireworks too. The park wasn't too busy at around 9pm, and the atmosphere is great too. Definitely stop by, we will return here when we visit Tampa again.

beautiful, clean, and peaceful place to spend time with family. There are no slides, but kids absolutely love the splash pad with fountains and the big tipping bucket that pours water over them — so much fun! The whole area feels fresh and safe, with lots of open space to run and play. The view of the river and the city skyline across the water is simply stunning, especially at sunset. One of the most unique and cool things is watching the rowing teams train in their long boats on the river — it’s really impressive! There are also picnic tables, shaded areas, and plenty of grass to relax. Everything is well maintained, and the vibe is friendly and chill. Great spot for a family outing or just a quiet walk by the river. Highly recommend!

We loved the riverfront park, a lot to do in the area ( basketball, tennis, pickleball, running, exercising equipment) we loved the splash pad and the park, after playing about we walked the riverside and it was very peaceful and calming. We watched a few boats pass us by very friendly folks aboard, we all loved seeing all the art work. Beautiful environment !! We will be returning soon!!!
