He had a blast climbing the "control tower" as well as flying the "medical plane" and the "jumbo jet". Lots of slides, ladders and steps to get the wiggles out.

The kids enjoy themselves in the play ground while the adults can fish, talk, walk, etc. It is one of St. Pete's best places to just relax and enjoy the scenery, have a picnic, go fishing, enjoy the park, watch for dolphins, go for a walk, or a bike ride, meet people from all over, enjoy the view, watch the excitement from the airport, have lunch at the Hanger restaurant, go to the Dali museum, this is just a fantastic area with so much to do and fun for everyone in the family.
