Brooker Creek Preserve - "Our Wildest Place"
Brooker Creek Preserve is approximately 8700 acres, and the largest natural area in Pinellas County. It consists primarily of forested wetlands and pine flatwoods. Bordered by dense urban development, the Preserve provides both a unique refuge for native flora and fauna as well as an opportunity for citizens to explore the natural beauty of wild Florida. The Preserve also serves to protect a significant portion of the Brooker Creek Watershed. A complex of hiking and equestrian trails provide visitors an opportunity to explore the Preserve’s many ecosystems.

In the News:
- Public Works are working on cleaning out the drainage that runs along side the Friends Trail, thus blocking the entire width of the trail with machinery. The foot bridge that took visitors over this ditch has been removed due to unsafe structural conditions. The trail is now closed and will remain so for at least a month.
Special Programs, Classes and Events:
- Pinellas County Extension
Offers a variety of educational and interpretive programs for the public. The goal of these programs is to empower citizens to make informed decisions about natural and cultural resources.
