Niche Reviews Niche logo

Situated about four miles west of downtown Saint Petersburg, Childs Park features a thriving arts scene and easy access to the rest of the city via Interstate 275. You can find houses and condos for rent spread throughout every corner of Childs Park, and several businesses are located near Route 19. Childs Park's namesake park features sports fields, a recreation center, and a pool, making it a popular place to spend those sunny Florida days. Locals gather on 18th Ave S for the annual Tangerine Blues Fest to enjoy music and support the community, while the Blueberry Patch caters to those searching for performances in a more laid-back atmosphere. Rush Hour Chicken & Waffles stands out as the neighborhood's premier soul food spot, or hit up Pepperz Cabaret if you're looking for a local place to cut loose with some karaoke and dancing.
