Nice Park near Downtown Tampa for Welcome Dinner

Blondy214

Hello fellow knotties! We are getting married next April at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa. We are not from Tampa, so planning a wedding from so far away has been a little challenging. Anyway, we are planning to have a rehearsal/welcome dinner then night before the wedding. Most likely we will cater something, but we want to have it at a nice park or beach area. Something with picnic tables, and not a terribly far walk from the parking area because my dad has a physical disability and can't walk very far and also for older guests like grandparents that may have trouble walking a far distance. Preferably something close to downtown Tampa so that we don't have a very far drive after the rehearsal. Anyone from the area have any suggestions? TIA!
