This turns into Tampa Road which turns into Hillsborough Blvd. Take this to Country Way (there is a Walgreens on the corner) turn north into the Country Way subdivision. Take this north to the first stop sign, which is Waters, turn right or east. Go about 1 mile and the entrance to the trail is on the left (north) just across from the YMCA.

    >>I-275 way:

Memorial Hwy becomes Sheldon Rd as it crosses Hillsborough Ave. Stay on Sheldon and at Waters make a left. On Waters go past the traffic light, over the bridge and take the first right into the parking area for the Trail.

Pass through toll booth ($0.75) and continue on over two bridges and take the Tierra Verde road heading south which is Pinellas Bayway S (Hwy 679). Keep going through Tierra Verde to 1420 Pinellas Bayway S. This is the parking lot for the Ball Field. The Ball Field sign says, "Tierra Verde Community Association Complex". The Ball Field parking lot is open from sunrise to sunset. Restrooms and a drinking fountain are provided.  Click here for a map and scroll down for the map of Tierra Verde.
