Rivercrest Park is a true community park located in South Seminole Heights, a historic and diverse neighborhood in Tampa. Offering incredible beauty and tranquility, as well as easy access to the Hillsborough River with a great kayak launch, this park remains a popular and well loved place, particularly within the Seminole Heights community. Early in the mornings, you can hear the peacocks hollering across the river, which paired with the spanish moss, the shady trees, and the slow moving river make for a particularly beautiful experience. The late environmental champion and former Hillsborough County Commissioner and Tampa City Councilmember Jan Platt lived just up the river from the park. Photo: Ross Mantle, Tampa Bay Times
