Playground at the St. Pete Pier Downtown
The Playground at the St Pete Pier Downtown
Published on 01/20/21: Have you ever visited a playground that has live music, cocktails and food service? Neither had we…until we found the St. Pete Pier Playground in downtown St. Pete! This is one of the largest local playgrounds we’ve found, so Colt loves it! And yes, food and drink are both served at the Spa Beach Bistro every day, next to the fun zone. We’ve also often found live music by the bistro on the weekends!
With all that being said, Colt knows it’s not very difficult (at all) to twist our arm to visit! If you haven’t already checked it out, certainly do so when you have a chance. These pics are from our trip yesterday after school. You can’t beat the backdrop, with the bay and palm trees to calm parental nerves. Similar to the kite festival this past weekend, Colt fell asleep on the ride home. 😴

It’s now followed by 56K+ people! If you have any real estate questions, I’m a St Pete Realtor and her to help you navigate our local market. My past includes developing a vacation rental advertising company, which I ran for a decade, and then sold to HomeAway/VRBO.
The playground at the St. Petersburg Pier in Florida is part of the larger redevelopment of the Pier, which has transformed it into a vibrant public space with various amenities. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect from the playground and the surrounding area:

- Safety and Accessibility: The playground is designed with safety in mind, including soft ground surfaces to cushion falls. It also emphasizes accessibility, ensuring that children with disabilities can enjoy the play area.
- Themed Elements: Some playgrounds at piers and similar locations incorporate themes related to the local environment or culture. You might find elements inspired by marine life or the natural surroundings of St. Petersburg.
Surrounding Amenities:

Additional Tips:
