We rode the Pinellas Trail and stopped at Wall Springs Park for a break....so glad that we did. We walked around and saw all of the fun fish in the springs and then biked around the park. Our quick break turned into an hour as there was a lot to see and a nice bike ride around the park. There was also a tower we walked up to look out. Paved paths throughout the park. There is no fee for the park.

A great easy way to experience local Florida nature. The trail is east and flat. We took my elderly in-laws on it. The tower overlook has a ramp or stairs for accessibility and trails were paved.

Right off the Pinellas Trail, we stumbled across the Wall Springs Park, an impressive outdoor venue of 107 acres that included a historic spring once used as a spa for medicinal purposes, as well as a bathing area currently replaced by boardwalks. Wall Springs was in use from the early 1900s until the 1960s, and today it’s just a peaceful place to stroll. At the same time, there were a number of old photos that juxtaposed how the park was back then, and the actual springs which people used to travel great distances for bathing are still intact. Highly recommended by Cherry Wonderdog.

The playground was great for the kids. My favorite part was the walk to the tower and the tower itself. The view was very beautiful.

What a pretty park - lots of paved areas for walking, biking, wheelchair access, etc. The main spring park is so nice and the new coastal expansion is gorgeous out on the water area (also paved). Have been multiple times and love the parks.

We started our bike ride on the Pinellas Trail here, due to the park’s ample parking. The park itself has a nice winding paved trail out to the bay. Nice clean restrooms, playgrounds and picnic tables. A very nice park.

This was a pleasant surprise in many ways. The history of the springs is very interestingly depicted. The springs and outflow areas themselves contain a variety of fish and crabs easily observed from the boardwalk. Shaded paved hiking trails, fantastic overlook, multiple fishing piers, cute begging squirrels, handsome Bahamian Anoles sunning on boardwalk railings and extending their dewlaps looking for love. There is a playground also for the kiddies, plenty of unique benches for anyone needing a rest.

The place used to welcome swimmers. I the name of environmental protection, the best activity to be done in here is banned. Far out! Do not bother visiting.

The Park is projected to reopen around the beginning of Aprilbut I think that may be a moving target until the Building Department and Department of Parks say its complete.

If I am thinking of the same old maps/photos that you are of the park, they are posted around the decks at the spring source. Right within the park! I can't remember what's on each of them exactly, but it's all of the original information (who found it, when, etc.).
I would like to know the depth of your springs at wall springs. If not specific a average will do. We went the other day and lovers it the question asked all day was how deep are these spring? You have a nice place Thank you S.E.Ackley...

Wall Springs was all but forgotten, until it became part of the park system almost twenty years ago. It has an average temperature of 74 degrees, has 2850 gallons a minute spewing out, and is 20 feet deep at the spring. There also is a small 40 foot underwater cavern hidden at the rear of the spring, tho its illegal to even try to go there.

We were at the park last week and be advised that almost the entire park is closed off right now due to construction. There is chain-link fence prohibiting entry into almost the entire park. The only area still available open is a children's playground and the board walk around the spring which is very small area indeed. I would definitely pass on visiting this park until the work is completed. I would guess at least another six months. Right now is April 9
