Parks
Ybor City boasts several parks that help to reflect the history of the district while giving residents and visitors a space to come together to enjoy a variety of activities. Come to Ybor to enjoy a quiet Sunday afternoon in the park, shop the various local vendors at our weekly Saturday Market, or explore a new and exciting event or festival in the district.
Centennial Park
Centennial Park is a 2.5-acre park located in Tampa’s National Historic Landmark District. The park is valued as a place of relaxation as well as honors those who helped make Ybor what it is today through a display of statues and plaques. Centennial Park is the ideal location for several events, which includes the year-round, weekly Ybor City Saturday Market. The park is located just one block away from one of the 11 stops on the TECO Line Streetcar System that connects Ybor City, Channel District, and Downtown Tampa. The park is owned and maintained by the City of Tampa and has public restrooms.
Parque Amigos de Jose Marti
Parque Amigos de Jose Marti is a small .14-acre urban park that pays homage to Cuban national hero Jose Marti. When you cross through the archway, you’re crossing into Cuban property. This small bit of American land was donated to the Estado Cubano (Republic of Cuba) in 1956, three years before the communist revolution. The Batista administration officially accepted the property, and the American consul in Havana certified the transaction. The park is only open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., but due to the small size of the park, the park can be seen from behind the gates.
4th and Angel Dog Park,
4th and Angel Dog Park was the inaugural project for Friends of Ybor, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The new 4,000-square-foot dog park has an adjoining café in the heart of Ybor at the corner of 18th Street and 4th Avenue. The first gift to Friends of Ybor was the generous donation of land that kicked off the fundraising to construct and maintain this desired community asset.
East Ybor Park - Constantino Park
Positioned on more than a half-acre of land, the East Ybor Park features a picnic shelter, basketball court, water fountain, grill and play equipment, including swings, slides and climbing structures.
