About the Location
Historic Green Space
Baywood Park is a small public green space located in St. Petersburg, Florida. Situated at the intersection of Beach Drive NE and 6th Avenue NE, this park is part of the city's waterfront park system.
Archaeological Significance
The park contains a shallow Indian mound, which is a remnant of the area's Native American history. This archaeological feature adds historical significance to the otherwise unassuming park space.
Local History
Baywood Park has been a subject of local interest and controversy. In the 1980s, there were discussions about potentially exchanging this land as part of development plans for the nearby Vinoy Hotel.
These plans led to debates about the park's status and protection under the city charter.
Neighborhood Amenity
The park offers a quiet spot for relaxation and reflection in the Historic Old Northeast neighborhood of St. Petersburg. While small in size, it contributes to the city's commitment to preserving green spaces and historical landmarks.
