Al Lopez Park

Al Lopez Park, located on North Himes Avenue, consists of a vast 132 acres of lush scenery full of wildlife, and all the amenities needed for an eventful get-together. Visitors can choose to sit back, relax and enjoy the view or throw a football in the field with a few friends. There are two ponds, one of which fishing is permitted. There is a playground for the kids, various trails for jogging, sheltered picnic areas complete with grills and a fenced in dog park.

The park is located just off the moving traffic of Dale Mabry and is considered a hidden gem among locals. A large dog park is perfect for socializing the four legged friend and is nicely shaded and surrounded by a four foot fence for protection and security. Shelter areas are offered throughout the park and perfect for birthday celebrations and hang-outs. Shelter rentals may be rented to ensure availability.

The park's location makes it popular as it sits right next to Raymond James Stadium. The park has a history of being popular among tailgaters during football season and the Yankee spring training baseball games. Shelters and BBQ pits are full during the sports season and warm summer days.
