Raymond H. Neri Park encompasses 38 acres of recreational and natural habitats in the Lealman community. First opened in 2005, the park was renamed in 2018 after a local civic leader who spearheaded many improvements to the area. It was rebuilt and reopened in 2026 with new amenities such as fitness equipment, two dog parks, and multiple playgrounds. A mile-long paved multi-use trail loops around the property and crosses two bridges overlooking Joe’s Creek. The park hosts vibrant wildlife with an assortment of birds, turtles, alligators, and even otters.

Duke Energy Maintenance

Due to Duke Energy maintenance, the east pedestrian bridge and southeast pedestrian entrance to the park are temporarily closed. This closure is expected to last through October 2026. Please contact Duke Energy for more information, 877-480-2446.

Boardwalk Maintenance

Pinellas County Parks and Conservation Resources is rehabilitating the existing observation platforms at Raymond H. Neri Park as part of the Countywide Annual Boardwalk, Fishing Pier, and Observation Tower Improvements contract. This project is funded through Penny for Pinellas.

The contractor will rehabilitate Observation Platforms A, B, and C one at a time through the end of August 2026. To maintain public safety, each platform will be temporarily closed while work is underway. The remaining observation platforms will remain open whenever possible.

Impacts to the walking trails are expected to be minimal. However, visitors are encouraged to use caution, follow posted signage, and remain aware of construction activities while traveling through the park.
