Waterfront Park, also referred to as the River Arts District, is the cultural centerpiece of Downtown Tampa. Nestled on the western banks of the Hillsborough River, Waterfront Park is centered on the expansive Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, where residents and visitors alike enjoy vast stretches of green space, splash pads, a dog run, and numerous events hosted throughout the year.
The neighborhood is especially revered for its cultural offerings, which include the Tampa Museum of Art, Glazer Children’s Museum, Straz Center for the Performing Arts, Tampa Theatre, and the Tampa Riverwalk. Residents appreciate the neighborhood’s walkable layout, along with its wide variety of rental apartments, many of which feature exquisite riverfront views. Convenience to countless employers in Downtown Tampa and the University of Tampa affords many residents short commutes from Waterfront Park.
