Pinellas County Parks, Green Space and Fun Things to Do

 Palm Harbor Florida - Recently my family along with some friends took our kids to Wall Springs Park for the day. It's a great place to hike, bike, fish, bird watch, relax and just have a great time. This is one of Pinellas County's best kept secrets just of Alt 19 before you get to Tarpon Springs. It extends out to the coast through the thick mangroves that offer a real look at Natural Florida. 

The Park is also located along the Pinellas Trail. I took quite a few pictures to give you a sneek peak at this special place - however there's nothing like seeing it in person. Pinellas County acquired Wall Springs in 1988 with the initial purchase of 63 acres which included the Spring and surrounding area - Here's an up-close  look at Wall Springs Park.   

Wall Springs Park - Quite a Local History

In 1927 the Wall family sold it to the Davis family that changed the name from Wall Springs to Health Springs - where they marketed and extolled the health benefits of these waters. Mr. Harry Davis also spread the myth that Spanish explorer Ponce De Leon discovered this spring.

Mr. Davis eventually sold the property to the Cullen family of Palm Harbor in 1949.  The Cullen family changed the name back to Wall Springs and operated it as a commercial recreational facility. They added many amenities like horseshoes, volleyball, hiking paths, picnic shelters and more.

Back in the 1950's this Spring was the site of a freshwater beach where tourists enjoyed lounging and bathing in these pristine waters.  Tourists enjoy Wall Springs in the 1950s

Eventually in 1966 the Cullen family closed the facility due to high insurance premiums and liabilities. which left the door open for Pinellas County to acquire Wall Springs in 1988.     

August 20, 2005 the park was officially opened to the public through the use of Penny for Pinellas taxes  - after developing fishing piers, observation decks, playground and restrooms for visitors to enjoy this piece of Pinellas Paradise.

If you are looking for information on buying Pinellas County Real Estate give me a call at (727) 710-8035 - It's a great place to live with lots of green space and great things to do.

What Would YOU Do With An Extra $7500 This Year?

If you are a First-Time Homebuyer looking to buy your first home, this is the time to do it, and the government will even give you a tax credit of $7500 in 2009 if you do buy before July 1, 2009! 

Is it FREE? 

Not entirely, it will be repaid in $500 increments beginning in 2010, for the next fifteen years.  This is like an interest-free 15 year loan.

Am I eligible?

If you have never owned a home, or have not owned a home for three years prior to the purchase, you are eligible.  There are phase-outs for higher income, and the full credit is based on a maximum of 10% of the purchase price, so anyone purchasing a home of over $75,000 is eligible for the full credit, as long as your individual income is not more than $75,000 per year. 

Who can't take the credit?

Anyone with an income over $95,000 per year ($170,000 for joint-filing couples), will not receive a credit.

If you no longer use the home as your primary residence, you will no longer be eligible for the credit.

You cannot purchase the home from a family member, nor can you sell the home in the first year.

What's the Catch?

If you are shopping for a home RIGHT NOW, you are not a non-resident alien, are not eligible for District of Columbia first-time homebuyer tax credit, and you have not owned a home in the past three years, YOU ARE ELIGIBLE!

Check the IRS website for more details, and LET'S GO SHOPPING!

Lake St. George is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Pinellas County, Florida, because of its proximity to both downtown St. Pete and Tampa, the lovely white-sand beaches in Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, and Clearwater, and the best schools in Pinellas County.

This adorable cottage can be had for less than it would cost to rent - for the right buyer willing to do minimal damage control.  It is in foreclosure, and listed for under 100K.
