A L Anderson Park
The first land was acquired in 1964 with the
park opening and dedication held on May 21, 1966. Subsequent
acquisitions to the north and south along Lake Tarpon have
enlarged the park to 129 acres. The most recently improved
area is a 30-acre parcel acquired in 1973 on the south side of
the park. Access to this area is gained by means of a road
leading from the main park road to an overpass which bridges
Tookes Road. It was formally opened to the public on June 3,
1982.
This park serves the north county area and offers individual
and group picnicking facilities, play equipment, and a boat
launching facility. The park is characterized by hilly
terrain, wooded areas, and beautiful vistas overlooking Salmon
Bay and Lake Tarpon.
A distinctive arrangement of picnic pads, elevated boardwalk,
and a nature trail which is 478 linear feet long has been
developed among the cypress trees along the Salmon Bay
shoreline.
Who was A.L. Anderson? The park was named in honor of Alphonse
L. “Andy” Anderson, former Mayor of Gulfport and Pinellas
County Commissioner from 1959 - 1971. A successful commercial
fisherman and recipient of two prestigious conservation
awards, Mr. Anderson was sensitive to the preservation of
local waterways and the marine environment. During his tenure
on the Commission, he helped to establish several county
parks, including A.L. Anderson Park on the shores of Lake
Tarpon. After serving on the County Commission, Mr. Anderson
continued his tireless preservation efforts as a member of the
Pinellas County Park Board.
