BS Parking Ticket
Dec 2021
Got a parking ticket after I paid and had receipt on the dash. Tried to appeal and got denied. Won't be going back. Don't park in City of Tampa parking division.

Brings Tampa together
Nov 2021
This is a great place to get some fresh air, observe all sorts of dogs, bikes, skateboards and see drunk people float/pedal down the river. It brings everyone out. There are swings and sculpture sprinkled along the way to keep your interest. There is a very cool restaurant Ulele, named after an Indian Princess, just off the path and worthwhile to see for at least their charbroiled oysters and a beer. Plenty of outdoor seating and photo-op sculptures. One could walk/jog the river walk every day and not be bored.

Tampa River Views
Nov 2021
Nice place to walk and experience Tampa along the river. There are many focal points along the way such as the Tampa Museum of Art and Curtis Hixon Park. There are also great views of the city skyline and the Plant Museum and Univ. of Tampa campus. An enjoyable way to experience Tampa's riverfront and city.

Go at Night
Nov 2021 • Friends
Kinda boring but did go mid-day and during the week. Mostly just looked at stuff. Bought some food and used the bathroom. The $25 water taxi fee was ridiculous.

Beautifully maintained walk along the river. Great for exercise, bicycle, or just a relaxing walk. We really enjoyed the area.

Fun and Relaxing

It rained briefly, but we ducked in a bar for a drink. Nice walk! You can take a very long walk or a short one - all is beautiful!

How long does it take to walk the entire riverwalk? Got my in laws coming in and dont want to do something that's beyond their capabilities.

It’s about 2 miles...we encountered a lot of traffic (weekend) bikes, skaters, walkers, strollers, etc., but easy walk as there are benches everywhere to stop and sit. How long it takes depends on your endurance level, I am 57 extremely arthritic and I had my 16 year old with me. The two of us took frequent stops to rest and sightsee, we left our hotel (waterside Marriott) at 10:30 and arrived at Ulele before noon (we took the water taxi back).
Is it ok for mobility scooters?

Yes, have seen persons there with their mobility scooters. The walk is pretty much wide and flat.
Big heads up! It can be brutally hot there, especially in the afternoon, as there is very little shade.
Come in the morning, wear light clothing with a hat, and BRING WATER WITH YOU. You won't find much in the way of watering places.

How is it for those with walkers? Rest spots?

There are benches and places to rest along the way. Sometimes they may be a little far apart depending on the section that you are walking.
Is there any parking facility available ?

Yes, just check to see if there is a large.conference at the convention center or something major happening at Amalie Arena.
