Cotee River Park in
New Port Richey
is a linear park along the east bank of the Pithlachascotee River in New Port
Richey. It occupies the space between the river and Grand Boulevard. Beginning
just a short distance north of the downtown district, it could well be referred
to as New Port Richey's riverwalk. Stretching for about a third of a mile, it
spans from Virginia Avenue to Massachusetts Avenue.
The paved sidewalk hugs the seawall and offers scenic views along the Cotee
River ... riverfront homes, boaters, kayakers, and if your lucky maybe even a
manatee or dolphin. For obvious reasons, Cotee River Park is popular with
fishermen - as can be seen in our Quick Tour video above. Numerous benches and
picnic tables are available along its length. Six shelters with picnic tables
offer great locations for small get togethers and birthday parties. They are
available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Each of the properties on the east side of Grand Boulevard has access to the
river, and many of them have floating docks accessible from Cotee River Park.
These docks are private property for use only by the property owners.
