The city of Tampa knows how to play to their strengths. Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park is in Downtown Tampa lined with Plam Trees, Water Sprinklers and of course a view of Tampa's Waterfront. All year round the city of Tampa experiences the best weather, making Curtis Hixon a great place to visit.

Curtis Hixon is a public park with a large grass field, a dog park, playground, covered pavilions, a boat dock, a small concession stand, and quick access to Tampa Riverwalk. Curtis Hixon is open to the public all year round and has something for every member of the family to do.

At the front of the park, there are water sprinklers. I thought they were there for visual appeal but many kids find it like a mini water park. Be sure to bring your own sunscreen, and towels!
Another great selling point for the children is the playground park. Why hire a babysit when the park and water sprinklers can wear them out???

Aside from visiting the park just for the kids, Curtis Hixon puts on many events throughout the year for the whole family. Every Sunday there is free yoga in the park, and on Thursday there is Barre in the park.

In addition to the free events the park offers, they also host featured events. The next featured event is coming up on October 19th, the park is hosting the annual Pig Jig festival.  To see more upcoming events visit, https://www.tampasdowntown.com/events.

Remember when I said Tampa has the best weather all year round? Well, part of having the best weather means sometimes Tampa misses out on the fall and winter seasons. But fear not, Curtis Hixon does there best to ensure Tampa gets to experience all winter has to offer, aka my personal favorite event.

Starting at the end of November Curtis Hixon will open their Winter Village. At the Winter Village, there will be shops, a cafe, a winter market and most importantly an OUTDOOR ice rink. Yep, that's right an outdoor ice rink in Tampa! For more on the Winter Village activities check out, https://www.tampasdowntown.com.

The best part about Curtis Hixon Park is there is something for everyone to do at all most any time of the year.

Until Next Time!
