Eagle Lake Park

Nice park in Largo. Very family and dog friendly. Several trails and boardwalks throughout the park. Plenty of shelters, picnic tables, and open areas. Recommended for hiking, having a cookout, or just spending time in the park.

This park is great for dog owners. Three fenced in areas for them to run around. Dogs are not permitted on the boardwalk areas, but there’s still lots of trails for them to walk on. Our dog gets excited exploring new areas, so she had a blast. There’s plenty of water fountains where I was able to cup the water into my hands for her to get a drink.
Running is most certainly not my thing, but this would be a good place to do so. We saw more people taking strolls than anything. I don’t think it’s the best place to ride your bike personally, but a few folks were — some even with their dogs attached to their bikes. Lots of picnic areas. As far as wildlife, we really only saw squirrels and butterflies.

What a beautiful and well-​kept park for all ages!
This is a quiet area that has plenty to offer. There are picnic shelters, restrooms, and a very large and modern playground. The walking trails are wide and weave amongst the beautiful trees and foliage and wildlife.
Check out the restored wetlands by using the nicely-​done boardwalks, and drop a line in the designated areas to try your luck at fishing.
There also is a large dog park that looks comfortable and fun for those that want to run around while their owners relax and enjoy the day
.
Very nice place for sure!

This is a great park. I really enjoy walking the fitness trails. There is a lot of wildlife and I have seen peacocks, a fox, squirrels, turtles, osprey, rabbits, snakes and several types of birds. It is quiet and a great place to go to de-​stress.

Some of the park’s lakes are overdue for a rehab. The main lake is covered with green slime, probably from fertilizer run off. Worse than Lake Erie in the 70’s. Two other ponds are overgrown with vegetation some native, some invasive, rendering the observation benches worthless.
The should be doggie disposal bags available at the entrances and notices to pick up after the pooch. Nothing worse than a surprise pile in the middle of the path.
I use the park for walks twice a week and love it otherwise. A beautiful piece of nature in the middle of the county. Just need the county to do some work on it.

I love this park! I have had my Sons birthday party here. It is clean and a fun loop to run or bike. I like to run there pushing the kids in the stroller make a pit stop at the playground then head back home. They have a nice dog park also. It has a fence for with small dog area too.

Very nice park. I go on the weekends to run my RC truck & have actually met other people running RC trucks & seen people running quad copters.

Beautiful dog park. Kept so clean and even has water bowls & hoses to fill up! Three sperate gated areas for different sizes dogs! Very spacious. Just be cautious of poor dog etiquette! People don’t introduce their dogs they just let them run right in.

This big bug was great for macro photographers and there are plenty of them walking around the park these days!

One of my favorite parks in the area. We live in the neighborhood so it makes it extra convenient to visit. Nice wide paths, both paved and sandy for running, walking, biking, etc. Very pretty bridge/​boardwalks that cross over marsh/​lily pad wetlands. Abundance of native birds and lots of aquatic turtles. Little rabbits hopping across the trail and even an odd flock of peacocks now and then. The dog park is very nice and well maintained. Hidden gem!

This is the type of park that BEGS YOU TO STRAP ON SOME RUNNING SNEAKERS and disappear into the wilderness. I want to be those shirtless, muscular dudes who jog the trails around elderly folk who walk around as their evening exercise. Seriously– I DO LIKE THOSE TRAILS. It doesn’t feel like my chistled bod is actually in a park surrounded by neighborhoods. Plus plus.
Although those PAGODAS ARE NICE AND CLEAN, I’d rather picnic under the scraggly trees. You probably can’t play soccer in any of those fields without hitting those trees scattered throughout– so unusual looking! But it’s weird – the thick trees seem all clumped together and there’s wide open areas that NORMALLY boast a PARKING LOT NEARBY. I kinda like the feeling of being more ‘in the trees’ and this place only half-​delivers. ACTIVITIES HERE are more LIMITED TO WALKING and things you can do with walking (THINK DOG PARK) but at least if you want to have a party the pagodas, playground and bathrooms will deliver.

Simply a wonderful park to take your family to. Be that on a bike ride around the lake, or through the nature trails, or a family day at the playground, or even just to view some uncommonly seen wildlife, this is a great opportunity.
My family and I live close by, and often bring the kids to see some elusive otter, or turtles, and even the occasional roseate spoonbill or two. I haven’t spotted any eagles, but understand that their populations are high enough to where that may be likely, soon enough. The trees are tall enough to support a nest or two, I’d think.
The trails are well shaded and, as someone else wrote, wide enough to support many types of traffic. The playgrounds, however, are not terribly shaded, so bring the lotion. The shelters are quite nice and the park is very clean, overall. Remember to be conscious of the cleanliness when you leave and it will always be a great family spot.

I love it! Very nice park! Lots of parking and very clean. The trails are wide enough for people to pass on opposite side without you having to go off the pathway. There is a playground, a dog park area, pavilions with picnic benches, and we might have missed some other things because this park is huge! We followed the walking trail so not quite sure where the other walkways took you if you decided to veer off course.
Lots of awesome looking tress and my family and I (as well as our dog!) had an awesome day here. Dog park was nice. Two separate «big dog» areas and a separate small dog area. No grass though, just lots of leaves and dirt. The dogs here were friendly though and my pup had a good time.
There was a sign by the pavilions that said it was a first come, first serve basis for reserving the spots. It looked like two different parties going on that day (Sunday) and seemed like an awesome idea!

Ahhhh, Eagle Lake Park. The entrance is located off of Keene Road. There are plenty of different areas you can park your vehicle once you enter. There are a plethora of pavilions (that’s fun to say), and they can be reserved for birthday parties or family gatherings. I personally believe that there are better parks for birthday parties in the area, however.
There is a small kids playground, complete with slides and swings. However, I also believe there are better parks in the area if you’re strictly judging on playground equipment. So now you may be asking «Warren, if there’s better parks in the area for birthday parties and playground equipment, why the five stars?» Well, allow me to elaborate, pushy-​pants.
«It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.» That’s right, even if you’ve never read Walden, you will be quoting Henry David Thoreau after leaving here. This is the only park I know of in Pinellas County where you actually feel like you’re in nature. You’re not just in nature, you’re wrapped up, cuddled, and given a sponge bath by nature.
This is a perfect place to come walk, run, or bike, and just stop thinking. They did a great job of leaving plenty of trees, and there’s a picturesque lake in the park as well. There’s a paw playground, and it’s pet-​friendly in general, so feel free to bring your four-​legged friend with you.
I leave you with: «I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.» Also, please try not to molest the alligators (photo attached).

Wonderful park, you can take a long or a short walk/​run — your choice.
Dog park is nice as well. People that come to this park are friendly.

Great Park! Awesome fenced in dog leash free with separate small and large breed areas. Trails are fun and scenic with plenty of wildlife. Beautiful ponds with alligators and turtles as you walk along boardwalks and over bridges. Plenty of parking and picnic areas. Love it!

Eagle Lake Park is an outstanding park for any kind of outdoor activity. There are plenty of shelters for picnics and paved trails for walking, bicycling, and roller blading. There are several lakes that are nestled in the landscape (no fishing and molesting gators-​which I have been accused of at least once). As you meander on the paved pathways through the park the scenes change from wooded to open fields to high majestic trees. One of these high majestic trees is the source of the name sake of the park located along Belleair Road between Starkey/​Keene Road and S. Lake Avenue. It seemed like an impossibility since the nest, as huge as it was withstanding storms and the changing seasons year after year, blew over as the park was being discussed. The beauty of the park is a combination of original landscape and one that is manicured making it less rugged and more accessible.
Throughout the park there are shelters that can be used for picnics and parties. The shelters seemed to be first come first served. My typical experience with the park is the back side toward the corner of S. Lake Avenue and Belleair Road which is accessible by park roads. There is a back entrance on S. Lake Avenue for foot traffic only (no parking) out side on the road. This section of the park has a ½ mile fitness track that is paved and suitable for bicycling and in-​line skating. There is a play ground area with restrooms and vending available. As well as two or three shelters near by.
At the entrance of the park on Starkey/​Keene Road there is «Paw Playground» which is made up of three sections roughly 50 yards square each and separated for large dogs and small dogs. There was access to water for dogs as well. Dogs also seemed to be welcomed throughout the park as long as they were on leashes. The open fields that popped up throughout the park seemed to be the favorite stopping points.
Inside the park there were plenty of parking spaces (some specifically designated for trails). Water fountains or vending (not all that saw were open) could be found to replenish yourself. As typical of any county park «No Alcohol» signs warned of the rule.
The park was further made into a positive experience by the patrons. Most people were friendly (nodding hello or speaking) were others were in large enough groups and did not venture away. But there was plenty of room for that quiet contemplative moment if it was needed. Definitely a park that offers variety. And most definitely worth a trip to check it out.

This is our neighborhood park! A great place to walk, run, ride a bike, and walk our dogs. It has several shelters perfect for a family get-​together which we’ve had a couple of here. Plenty of parking and a great playground for the kiddos. There are also dog runs in the front of the park. Overall, a very enjoyable park!

Nice way to spend an hour and get some fresh air. An old plot of land recently purchased by the city & turned into a park.
Nice easy trails, a few nice lakes with some docks for viewing birds.
Shelters are rentable.
I’ve heard tell that they’re renovating the old-​timey orange picking equipment which may become an exhibit in the future.
