Remember to Visit our Tri-City Parks
I love the outdoors. People probably wouldn't say that about me because I stay home a lot and surf the web more than I go for long outdoor walks. It's because I live in Florida and in my opinion we only get 4 pleasurable months: November, December, January, February. That's about the only time of year where I can go outside without getting attacked by mosquitos or drowning in my own sweat or having an asthma attack or getting so burned by the sunrays that I look redder than a lobster. Last year I wasted my favorite four months and didn't get outside as much as I wanted to. Not this time. I'm very happy that October has arrived, and I can't wait to see what my walking legs can do this winter. First thing that comes to mind are the public parks. While I've been hiding out in my little backyard area when I want some nature time, I absolutely adore walking through big parks and preserves and seeing new plants and flowers and trees. I've gotten around to many of the parks in the Tampa Bay area so I'd like to share my memories with you and recommend the ones that I remember. The great thing about this list of park recommendations is that all of the parks mentioned below do not have an admission fee (although some of them have a parking fee) so if you have a tank of gas, you can go see these parks and enjoy all the beauty they have to offer.
