McKay Bay Nature Park

I have never before seen so many baby wipes, condom wrappers, used condoms, stray underwear and full cigarettes in my entire LIFE. This place is disgusting! How dare y'all let the wildlife live in these conditions!

A nature preserve in the industrial part of town. Looks like the boardwalk was either destroyed by last year’s hurricane as they where close the trail that I took was next to some factories with horrible smell. I would not recommend this park till they at least fix the boardwalk.

Stopped here with a friend on a Monday afternoon in hopes of getting some bird watching in, after meandering trying to find the water.via a trail we realized this is a M4M pick up spot, pretty sketchy stay away unless your looking for that, no good birds either and we never found the water.

Really fascinating location with truly unique flora and fauna under the shelter of a beautiful mangrove sanctuary. Unfortunately this particular property really could benefit from regular maintenance and more frequent upkeep. I suspect significant underfunding which is a pity for such a beautiful public space. Many of the trails are desperately overgrown. In some places overgrown branches have been cleared, but were just cast to the side rather than being chipped or hauled away properly. Far too much aging litter strewn about everywhere. If the City of Tampa can't take care of this park they should donate it to the county so it gets maintained.

There's some hurricane damage and a horrendous smell along the trail... we actually turned around after a bit due to the stench but... the plant life we did see was nice....
