About the Venue

Lettuce Lake Park gives families an inclusive play option in a more natural setting than a typical city playground. Hillsborough County notes that two new playgrounds were built in 2024 with swings, adaptive and sensory equipment, plus a scavenger-hunt style element tied to local plants and animals. The park's paved trails, restrooms, picnic shelters, and broad nature setting make it a good choice for families who want accessible play paired with a slower outdoor outing.
