Palmetto Park Playground

It’s a small spot, but the fencing makes a real difference if you’ve got a kid who likes to bolt. A few swings and a climbing structure keep things simple — don’t expect a massive setup, but for a quick after-school stop it does the job. Those oak trees are the real selling point honestly, because shade in St. Pete in July is not something you take for granted. There are benches for parents to actually sit and relax, which is a bonus. Heads up that dogs tend to wander through with their owners, so if that’s a concern, just something to know going in.
