Confirmed from Bicentennial Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

“the place is quiet and calmed, the dog park is very convenient for the neighbors with doggies and the playground is always full of kids.”

Very nice and quiet park. Great trails with shade. Nice playground that is not crowded. Good parking with some shade by some trees. Shuffle board!!!!!!! Clean picnic areas that can be reserved. You could fish in the big lake. Probably need a license though.

November 2, 2025 Brought Fletcher to Bicentennial Park for a little walk! Grew up going here when Oldsmar recreation/summer camp was here! Great memories!

Nice place to park if you are going on bike trail. We are from out of town and found this parking listed on TrailLink. We rode our ebikes out of here. There was a nice crowd playing pickle ball and tennis. A good group and no thugs. So we felt safe. This city has gone above and beyond with their parks.

★★★★★ — John , Jul 2022

This is a great neighborhood park with 3 dedicated pickleball courts, 2 tennis courts, basketball courts, kids play area, and walking trails. Love pick-up pickleball play couple times a week. Folks are friendly and rotate players in and out.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

“Lots of places to walk and fish but watch out for the alligators 😳 They have large bathrooms and changing tables for the people with babies.”
