About
Anderson Playground is a neighborhood park in West Tampa offering a comfortable, low-key play experience for local families. The playground features standard equipment well-suited to the 2–10 age range, set on a grassy lot in a quiet residential neighborhood. While it doesn't have the scale of Tampa's larger destination parks, it's a reliable option for families staying in the West Tampa or Hyde Park area who need a quick outdoor play break.
The park has an open grassy area suitable for ball games and a relaxed, community feel. It's especially well-suited for toddlers and younger kids who don't need the elaborate multi-structure playgrounds. Completely free with street parking available.
