In the early 20th century, Oldsmar began as a planned community with roots in the automotive industry. Today, it is a small town between downtown Tampa and Clearwater. Oldsmar is a community of convenience with waterfront living in the center of the Tampa Bay. City parks and hiking trails sit in rich marsh ecosystems on the ocean. Being only a short drive from multiple cities, this town has access to some of Florida's best schools and most exciting attractions. Despite the action happening nearby, Oldsmar has the homey atmosphere of a small town with a population of around 13,600 and events that bring the community together.

Oldsmar parks system and the trail
“Oldsmar boasts more parks per square mile than any other city in the State of Florida, with about 40% of its land dedicated to either a park or preserve,” says Debb Vitraelli, Public Communications Supervisor of Oldsmar. “For context, the average city has less than 10%, according to the Trust for Public Land. Parks provide measurable health benefits from direct contact with nature, opportunities for physical activity and social interaction during our many events.” The Oldsmar Trail is a ten-mile nature walk beginning at the Oldsmar Sports Complex and moving down the coast through eight of the city’s ten parks. The trail includes an ambient path on a wooden bridge through Cypress Forest and quiet swamps in Moccasin Creek. R.E. Olds Park is a peaceful spot with a long wooden fishing pier, a large playground, walking trails and an outdoor amphitheater. Veterans Memorial Park has a waterfront view with outdoor exercise equipment and a pavilion. On warm days, residents can visit the Mobbly Bayou Beach Park, a small beach with sunset views.
