New to Tampa area - Active things to do?

jenniferlhubble · January 2017

Hello All! I've been in Wesley Chapel for about a year, but I work from home, so i don't have much social interaction. I was hoping to get some recommendations on some beautiful parks to walk/hike, or bike-riding paths by the water, or landmarks I should visit for a walk-through, etc. Really, just anything that will keep me moving whilst taking in some Bay-area sites. Thx in advance!

Some parks in Pinelllas, not too far: http://cms2.revize.com/revize/pinellasnew/residents/parks.php

And links to things to do in Hillsborough county: http://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/en/residents/recreation-and-culture

Not free, but I love them, Lowry Park Zoo, and for rainy days, the Museum Of Science and Industry across the street from USF

Hillsborough river park is awesome, they have a huge outdoor pool, you could hike or rent a canoe/kayak.
Ocala is not that far if you feel like taking a trip there.
Exit 300 on I-75 has a big park nearby where you coul hike

You could check the Meetup too for local groups doing all the things you are interested in.

Thanks everyone! I will take all recommendations under advisement!

(BTW: I thought I would get some sort of notification for replies - so that's why I didn't respond sooner!)
