About halfway between downtown St. Pete and downtown Clearwater, Pinellas Park is a blend of residential and industrial areas – but hidden gems abound here, from verdant parks to vibrant art and small restaurants loved by locals.

Pinellas Park is the 4th largest city in Pinellas County, the most densely-populated county in Florida.

It's a perfect spot for nature walk with many parks and outdoor activities. Bordering Pinellas Park proper is Sawgrass Lake Park, a 400-acre swath of green with hiking trails, a long boardwalk and a viewing tower for wildlife-spotting. It’s where locals go for a quiet walk in the woods or a family picnic. To the northwest is Helen S. Howarth Community Park, which offers a nature trail, horse trails, an equestrian center and a kids’ playground.

If you’re gearing up for an outdoor adventure, a great place to get your gear is Bill Jackson’s Shop for Adventure on U.S. 19. This iconic sporting goods store opened in 1946, and offers the customer service and Old Florida charm you won’t find at a big-box sporting goods store. Bill Jackson’s also hosts fly-fishing clinics and other events.

Thinking about a round of golf on a sunny day? Book a tee time at Mainlands Golf Club, a par 67 that meanders through a quiet retirement community.
