Historic Round Lake Park - St Petersburg FL

Quiet and quaint in Old St Pete

Historic Round Lake Park, on the edge of downtown St Petersburg FL, is an almost forgotten corner of Old St Pete. Quiet and quaint, it is a nice place to sit and read, or just think, for locals and visitors alike.

Located at 6th Street & 6th Avenue North, it is in one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city.

The varied homes, many of them bungalow styled, are set on brick-paved roads and hexblock sidewalks.

The lake is relatively small. You can walk around it in about 8 minutes.

There are several benches facing the lake, and a brightly painted gazebo that, curiously, has no seats.

There are no restrooms in this park.

Make sure you catch a bite to eat at Angie's Front Porch Market Cafe (495 7th Ave. N., St. Petersburg, FL 33701; 727-320-4540) just west of the park, up 7th Avenue.
