About the Center

Western St. Petersburg enjoys the vision of a father and son land development team that were credited with starting the Pinellas County land boom in the early 1900's. H. Walter Fuller and his son Walter P. Fuller gained fame and fortune as they were the first to envision turning what was then 133 acres of jungle area into the recreational destination now called Walter Fuller Park.

What they didn’t know is that over the years a unique chemistry would evolve as thousands of residents would have an award-winning range of recreational activities to enjoy 365 days a year right in their own neighborhood.

The recreation center provides recreational classes, elementary and teen programs and leagues, indoor basketball, volleyball and pickleball courts and community rental rooms. It has truly become a complete recreational destination.

It’s also home of the Green Thumb Festival, an annual Arbor Day that features environmental and horticultural exhibits, plant vendors, diagnostic clinic, recycling rally, free mulch, tree and plant sales and auction, tool sharpening booth, entertainment, children's programs and more!
