Weedon Island Preserve, including the associated Gateway Tract, is an expansive 3,000-acre region on Tampa Bay in north St. Petersburg comprised mostly of marine ecosystems with some uplands. Indigenous peoples, including those during the "Weeden" (alternate spelling) Island Cultural Period, occupied this site for thousands of years. A varied modern history also is part of the Preserve's legacy. Today, the Preserve protects this wide diversity of natural and cultural resources for current and future generations.
