I started walking the paved walking path near Clinton St. and N. Boulevard and walked to the Lowry Park Boat Ramp. I thought there was a bit more to the walking path, but some of it was a zoo parking lot. There was a small playground, pavillions, and a couple fishing docks. They also had a stop for the water taxi. Everything was well maintained and had some shade. The total was just under 1 mile., We stopped here on the way home to wait for the rush hour traffic to settle. It was a great opportunity to socialize my service dog in training and we were not disappointed. The trail was just about a mile long loop along the river with several wooden bridges and a boat ramp. Since it was a Wednesday afternoon, It was not crowded. The squirrels seemed a bit to friendly, perhaps to many treats from the public. They weren’t even concerned with my 7 month, 50+ lbs. Labrador pup. It was a great place to enjoy a slice of nature while avoiding the rush hour traffic., Great park, especially nestled into a busy city. It flooded out during the hurricane and was serviceable later that same day. There was a manatee and her calf feeding in what was once a small creek after the water rose. Enjoy, It was a nice place to have my babies birthday party there was plenty of shade but also plenty of homeless people smoking and sleeping in some shelters they were filthy and covered with cigarette butts I had to clean up a broken beer bottle before the party., This post is a 3.5 ⭐️s NOT 4 Amazing recreational area which seems more like a “hit or miss”: - Outstanding place to connect with nature, breathe fresh air, and unwinding from the city’s hustle and bustle. - The park features boat / kayak launching ramp, yet the existing boardwalks have been closed to the public due to lack of maintenance/repair/reconstruction. This, in turn, has STOPPED the water taxi route that used to bring people over to Lowry Zoo I assume. WHAT A BUMMER! - The cleanliness is also a hit or miss throughout the park; restrooms are clean though and it does stand out. I would like, THOUGH, to see MORE TRASH CANS as some areas are collecting cigarette butts, plastic bottles, wrappers of all kinds and what not. - Paved trails sprawl through the park, mostly under cooling shades and soothing paths. Regardless of the downsides it definitely is a place you would want to visit.
