Tampa’s Riverwalk, highlighted in Travel + Leisure’s city guides, connects families to outdoor art installations, playgrounds, and local eateries along the Hillsborough River. Water Works Park, just off the Riverwalk, features splash zones, picnic areas, and frequent community events. This independently managed space is a favorite gathering spot and offers a taste of local life, whether you rent bikes, take a water taxi, or simply enjoy the lively river views.
