Named after Fred H. Howard, a former mayor of Tarpon Springs, Fred Howard Park offers 155 acres of diverse Florida habitat and wildlife. Don’t be surprised to see eagles and osprey fishing, or dolphins and manatees swimming about during your visit. It is also home to several endangered and/or threatened species, such as the gopher tortoise. The park offers extensive beach front, 9 picnic areas, 6 restrooms, beach showers, a ball field, 2 playgrounds, a windsurfing area and a canoe and kayak launch. Pinellas county provides lifeguards in designated

swimming areas from March through Labour Day Weekend, however hours of operation vary based on availability and weather.
