What was once St.Petersburg’s main source for fresh drinking water, Mirror Lake, has served as lakeside retreat on the northern side of downtown for decades. However, over the past few years it has gone unappreciated leading it to be underutilized.

     In 2012 the City of St.Petersburg took action and developed plans to invest nearly a half million dollars to renovate and revitalize the Mirror Lake Park. By widening and enhancing the sidewalk the lake is now surrounded by a unified trail that gives stunning views of Downtown St. Petersburg and Mirror Lake’s wildlife. In March most of the renovation were completed.
