About the Business
Sawgrass Lake Park is a 400-acre park located in the Lealman community of St. Petersburg, Florida. It is a popular tourist attraction known for its large maple swamps and diverse wildlife. The park offers visitors the opportunity to observe thousands of migrating birds during the fall and spring seasons.
Please note that the restrooms inside the Anderson Education Center are currently closed for renovations, with portable restrooms available on site. Additionally, the Sawgrass Lake Boardwalk and Observation Tower are undergoing rehabilitation, leading to limited access to certain areas of the park until June 2024.
Visitors can access online services such as permitting, inspection scheduling, and fee payments 24/7 through the Pinellas County Government website. The park is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to sunset, with closures on the day after Thanksgiving and December 25.

Reviews
"First time here. Unfortunately, all trails were closed. We were told by the construction crew that trails will not be open for two weeks. If you do come, my suggestion is to bring water and binoculars. Just by doing the short walk we saw lots of birds and turtles."
"Super cool location with lots of wildlife. Nice spot to eat lunch and then take a quick stroll. Trail is short but scenic and alligator filled. The tower is great and everything seems well maintained."
"Great boardwalk and paved paths for a hike full of birds, turtles, and an alligator (far from path). Currently the main large loop is closed for construction but the small loop was still an enjoyable walk."
"My recent visit to Sawgrass Lake Park left me with mixed feelings. On one hand, the natural beauty of the park is undeniable. The abundant wildlife and the serene surroundings are a testament to the park's potential. However, my experience was somewhat dampened by the fact that a significant portion of the trail has been closed for an extended period. This limitation made it difficult to explore the park fully and enjoy all it has to offer. The open sections of the park were still enjoyable, with the observation towers providing stunning views of the lake and the wildlife. The informative signs along the trail added an educational element to the visit, which I appreciated. I hope that the closed trail sections can be reopened soon to allow visitors to fully appreciate the park's beauty. Once that issue is resolved, Sawgrass Lake Park has the potential to be a top-notch destination for nature lovers and birdwatchers. Despite my mixed experience, I would still recommend a visit, especially if you're patient and willing to explore the open areas of the park."
"I recently discovered this park and really enjoyed it. The entrance is in a residential neighborhood, so please be considerate of the people who live there. The park is being revamped. There are picnic areas, playgrounds, walking trails, and cool tables with games. I have visited twice for birdwatching and have seen several species. There is a lot of road noise from the highway, but it is very enjoyable, nonetheless."
