Crescent Lake Park — Attraction in Saint Petersburg

Crescent Lake Park is my happy place. I spend a considerable amount of time at this park, lounging in the grass, hanging on a hammock, or gazing at the wildlife in the lake. It is a scenic spot with so many great niches to enjoy. The full loop around the lake is the perfect circuit to walk solo or power walk around while yapping with your bestie. The pickleball courts are always vibrant and humming with energy. The dog park is a joyous spot and has cozy shade for dogs and people alike to rest in. My favorite of all the spots is the great big expanse of grass on the north side of the field - perfect for basking in sun or frolicking! The water tower painted with fish is incredibly iconic.

Especially considering the massively high property taxes those of us who live here pay. Failure on the part of city of Saint...

The field is football size with plenty of area to play for all kids. There is multiple side walk paths around the park area and one that looks around the lake. On the opposite side there are two dog parks (big and small sided) as well as a tennis court and a hand ball wall. Every once in while you can even catch a little league game in the baseball park. I have loved this park forever and for the foreseeable future. A couple gripes would be the side walks need to be bigger. There can be a bit of foot traffic and walking through grass can come with unseen surprises. The playground could be bigger in the area...
