Parks, Trails and Play - A Look at Waterset's Kid-Friendly Amenities
When it comes to finding the perfect community to call home, families with young children know it's about a lot more than just the house itself. It’s about the opportunities for their children to grow and thrive. In Waterset, located in Apollo Beach, Florida, the opportunities are endless, and with an impressive lineup of kid-friendly amenities, the kiddos are sure to stay active, engaged and enjoying Florida living, just like yourself, all year round.
Parks with a Purpose
Waterset is home to an abundance of parks and green spaces designed with the little ones in mind. Whether it’s a quick stop at the playground after school or a full day of fun on the weekend, families have no shortage of places to play. You can find well equipped playgrounds all throughout the community. Some of our favorites are at The Landing, The Waterset Club, The Lakeside and at the Hillsborough County Sportplex that is conveniently located within the community. There are also little pocket parks as we like to call them, scattered throughout the neighborhood, so play is never more than a short walk or bike ride away.
Splash Pad Makes a Splash with Kids of All Ages
The Splash Pad located at The Lakeside is certainly a hotspot for the little ones, especially during the summer months. When the Florida sun is beaming, families can head to the splash pad, where water jets, sprayers and bubbling fountains keep everyone cool and entertained.
Miles of Trails for All Ages
Waterset has over 12 miles of scenic walking and biking trails, making it easy for families to get outdoors and explore together. The trails help promote healthy habits and offer a safe, car-free space for little adventurers. Plus, the trails connect many of the parks and amenities throughout the community, so the journey is just as fun as the destination.
Sports Courts and More
For the older kids, the sports courts at The Waterset Club are always a hit! Basketball, tennis, pickleball and beach volleyball courts offer endless opportunities for a little friendly competition. They even have cornhole boards if that is more your speed. Additionally, within Waterset sits the Hillsborough County Sportplex, which is a great perk for all that live nearby. The Sportsplex has everything you could imagine, from football, lacrosse and soccer fields with concession stands and playgrounds. In the next phase, they will incorporate baseball and softball fields along with batting cages.
Family Fun at The Waterset Club
At The Waterset Club, a resort-style amenity center located in the heart of Waterset, it's a dream come true for families. With two pools and waterslides for the kids, it's the go-to summer vacation destination with no travel required! Parents can relax poolside while the kids splash, slide and play their hearts out. Inside, there is even more to love with a game room and open gathering spaces.
