Baranoff Park
Baranoff Park is located just south outside of the library. It's a great place to sit down and enjoy a book in this historic park. This park features the historically registered Baranoff Oak Tree which is a Grand Tree: 300-500 year old Live Oak.
The Baranoff Oak may be one of Safety Harbor's most famous residents. The tree stands on private property between Main and Second streets, adjacent to the Safety Harbor Public Library. UCITA Properties Inc. owns the property, but is sharing it with the city to preserve the tree and allow the public to enjoy the space. With a trunk nearly 20 feet in diameter, experts estimate the tree weighs about 800 tons.
The tree is named after Salem Baranoff, a doctor who owned the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa. The Live Oak Society of the Louisiana Garden Club Federation placed the tree on its historic registry of live oaks maintained since 1934.
