Sawgrass Lake Boardwalk and Observation Tower Rehabilitation
Closures & Construction

Pinellas County Parks and Conservation Resources and Public Works are rehabilitating the existing boardwalk and tower within Sawgrass Lake Park. Visitors should expect limited access to certain areas of Sawgrass Lake Park during these times. Learn more at pinellas.gov/sawgrass-lake-park-boardwalk-tower-rehabilitation.

Feb. 4 to approximately July 2024: The Sawgrass Trail leading to the Observation Tower will be closed for construction. Visitors will not have access to the Tower during this period.

 

Sawgrass Lake Park is 400 acres in the Lealman community of unincorporated Pinellas County and is the result of a unique cooperative agreement between Pinellas County Parks & Conservation Resources and the Southwest Florida Water Management District. This park has one of the largest maple swamps on the Gulf Coast, which allows people to view a variety of wildlife. Thousands of birds migrate through the park during the fall and spring.

Fishing is prohibited inside the park.
