Tarpon Springs Florida | Boaters and Dogs wild about Anderson Park

Tarpon Springs, Florida is home to two of Pinellas Counties Public Parks:

A L Anderson Park in Tarpon Springs Florida

Two fabulous parks with two different environments - many things to do. A. L. Anderson Park is almost 130 acres of green space in Northern Pinellas County and has a distinctive hilly terrain and long nature trail and boardwalk along Lake Tarpon and Salmon Bay. It has a playground for kids and a paw ground for dogs. It has large areas of ample picnic tables. This park officially opened in 1982 and is named after a former commissioner who was a fisherman and also won several conservation awards.

Today I want share some of my favorite things about A L Anderson Park in Tarpon Springs are:

  • The public boat ramps for easy access to freshwater boating, jet skiing and more - the large parking lot is appreciated on busy holidays and weekends;
  • It has an elaborate Paw Playground for man's best friend - the dog complete with fire hydrants, water and more;
  • Playground for kids as well that overlooks the lake and hilly terrain.
  • It has several shaded picnic shelters - Bar-B-Ques, Family Picnics and Birthday Parties are a few of the uses that come to mind; One sits overlooking Lake Tarpon.
  • Public restroom facilities are kept neat in clean in my experience;

Cyndee I am not a dog or a boater but these parks in Tarpon Springs look like a fun place to go.

Ashley - I agree - my dog is not behaved enough to play there :-) and I'm hoping Susie will take me boating there but it's a beautiful place for picnics and more.

HI Cyndee-

Kelli - thank you and YES you better call me or I'll hurt you. You would love it here however, you've helped educate me on what a beautiful place Oregon is - I would have never guessed - it's great to get a glimpse into other place. Hope all is going well for you!! Hope to see you visit again soooooooon!

Thesa - thank you and I appreciate your support. Can't believe it's Friday already - where does all the time go. We have so many paw parks you wouldn't believe how popular they are. A local hotel the Belleview Biltmore even had a "Yappy Hour" last week for the dogs and their owners "-)
