Palma Ceia Playground

Palma Ceia Park is nestled in a leafy residential south South Tampa neighborhood and is a nice place to spend time with family and friends (human and canine).There is limited parking with only a limited number of designated spots, however parking can be found on side streets adjacent to the park itself. Most streets in the area only allow for parking on one side so be sure to be mindful of this and check the posted signs.
It seems that most people who make use of the park live on the neighborhood and everyone I have encountered is very nice. Although I have not actually gone into the other part of the park beyond the dog play area, there is a fenced in area which is good for small gatherings. There are picnic tables under a shelter and a public restroom. There is also a grassy, fenced in area which is suitable to play catch, soccer, or tag or whatever your heart desires. There is also a basketball court and children’s’ playground play set in addition to a (basic) charcoal grill.
The dog park area is fenced and has somewhat sandy ground. There are trees and areas of shade and picnic benches. In the center there is a water station with hoses and water bowls for your four-​legged loves. Doggie waste bags are well stocked whenever I’ve been there. The area can be a bit bug ridden in the evening so it may be smart to cover your skin or wear bug repellent if you have sweet blood.
Whenever I bring my dog Sophia she has a marvelous time interacting with other dogs and people. There is plenty of space for her to get her insane amount of energy out. This is one of my favorite dog parks.

Lovely SoTa neighborhood park with a playground, fenced field, and fenced in dog park. Nice kiddos and dogs. Water hose. Shade trees and picnic benches. On a quiet residential street. Sophialatke approved. She made some new friends and so did we.

Plenty of shades, nice water station, all fenced, plenty of benches and tables and have baggies for picking up after your love ones. All dogs in one, no big or small only areas. Not lots of parking and a repellent spray may be a good idea. I’ll be coming more often for sure. Nice place and the people there seems to be very nice too.
