Wall Springs Park expands in Palm Harbor
September 5, 2020 - The Wall Springs Park Coastal Addition is now open at 621 Wai Lani Road in Palm Harbor. It adds 125 extra acres to the existing 84-acre Wall Springs Park area. The coastal addition adds a large picnic shelter, wooded areas with natural trails, and a winding paved trail that leads to the water, where an elevated observation deck allows visitors to enjoy a coastal view. Visitors will find a natural stone seawall at the northwestern boundary of the park expansion. The park has restrooms and a five-foot sidewalk along Wai Lani Road leading to Alternate 19, for pedestrian safety. The addition protects a variety of native habitats and associated plant and animal life including 18 species of fish, 148 species of plants and 127 species of birds, a news release said. Construction was funded by the Penny for Pinellas sales tax and the Florida Communities Trust/Forever Florida grant program.
