Centennial Park 1800 East 8th Avenue, Tampa, FL 33605

"Beautiful area, I am there every Saturday for the TOWN MARKET. It is huge, like over 75 vendors and a lot, lot of people. Just 1 street over from the main strip of Ybor. Fun, good food, pretty handcrafted jewerly, book authors, essential oils, and herbs fruit based hot sauces.. Mild Mango is my favorite, but the spicy pineapple was great, too, from Basic Roots Homestead.. ohhh, the Peach... man, that was good."

"The wild chickens were a great site and great learning time for the kids. The chickens are protected so no petting,no chasing,no feeding, just fun too look at. All the babies were so adorable!."

"Cigar Heritage Festival at Centennial Park. It was very crowded but with a great ambiance, cigar lovers everywhere smoking their purchases. A beautiful well mantained park, centrally located and near many great restaurants in Ybor City."

"Local public park. Has many historical markers around the park and surrounding areas. Park is clean and we'll laid out. Nice open area. About 1 block away from the corrupt sheriff's office.Main attraction to the park are the local residents which are free range chickens. (Don't feed them) public restrooms on in the patk. Lighting in the evening is fair. Would recommend this as a spot to visit."

"This is where you will find those celebrated chickens roaming free. If you are driving you will probably first encounter them crossing the street in front of you too! If you ever wondered what the answer was to "Why did the chicken cross the road" - you now know it was to get to Centennial Park. It is a nice shady spot to relax and take pictures. The shop and huge restaurant was not open while I was there. I missed the Sat market, but I was able to a 2 hour free parking spot on the street. During one Saturday afternoon I did notice one homeless person sleeping in the middle of the sidewalk in his bedroll in the shade. There were a few others clustered around talking elsewhere, but they will not bother you."
