Allen's Creek Park

Outdoor Fun & Natural Beauty

Tucked away near Plumb Elementary School is Allen's Creek Park, a little green oasis named after the waterway that meanders through it. It's not the biggest park you can find in Clearwater, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in simple charm.

Kids will enjoy the small playground area that's blessed with plenty of shade trees - a true gift on those scorching Florida afternoons! While the play equipment isn't exactly state-of-the-art and could use some TLC, the natural canopy makes this spot a parent's best friend during summer months.

Just a stone's throw from the playground, you'll come across a medium-sized open field ideal for impromptu frisbee games, kicking a soccer ball around, or spreading out a picnic blanket. Dog owners in the neighborhood often bring their four-legged friends here for a bit of exercise and socialization.

Trails & Natural Escapes

One of the park's best features has to be its walking trails that weave through the natural landscape. These paved paths are smooth enough for everyone to enjoy - whether you're pushing a stroller or using a wheelchair. Along the way, you'll cross charming bridges that span Allen's Creek, offering lovely vantage points to pause and take in the scenery.

The creek itself adds a peaceful element to your visit, creating a backdrop of gentle flowing water while providing a habitat for local flora and fauna. Early risers might want to take note - watching the sunrise by the creek is a serene experience that some locals have turned into a morning ritual.

Behind the main grounds, a wooded area extends the natural feel of the park, offering a surprising pocket of wilderness within Clearwater's urban setting.

What to Expect

You'll find several benches scattered throughout the park when you need a moment to sit and catch your breath. There are some picnic tables available too, but not in abundance - so you might want to arrive early to claim one on busy days.

Just a heads-up: the park doesn't have public restrooms. This might not matter for a quick visit, but it's something to plan around if you're bringing small children or intending to spend several hours exploring.

Local Park

Open daily from 7AM to 9PM, this neighborhood park is a green retreat for the surrounding residential area.

While it doesn't have the extensive facilities of Clearwater's larger parks, Allen's Creek Park offers what many of us need - a quiet place to connect with nature, let the kids burn off some energy, or simply enjoy a peaceful moment by the water. These simple pleasures make this modest park a nice spot in the neighborhood.
