About Flora Wylie Park in St Petersburg
Flora Wylie Park is an 11.4-acre waterfront park located along North Shore Drive NE in St. Petersburg, Florida. The park is part of the city's extensive waterfront park system and offers scenic views of Tampa Bay.
Named after Flora Wylie, a prominent advocate for St. Petersburg's park system in the early 20th century, the park features a paved recreational trail that connects to the city's broader waterfront trail network. This path is popular among walkers, joggers, and cyclists.
One of the park's notable features is a large sundial, designed by St. Petersburg sculptor Eric Higgs. This centennial sundial was commissioned in 2010 as part of the city's 100-year celebration.
The park provides open green spaces suitable for picnicking, casual sports, and relaxation. Visitors can enjoy the waterfront views from benches placed along the shoreline. The park's location makes it a prime spot for watching sunrises over Tampa Bay.
Flora Wylie Park serves as a tranquil outdoor space in the Historic Old Northeast neighborhood, offering residents and visitors alike a place to connect with nature and enjoy St. Petersburg's waterfront.
