Water Works Park is a free "public water playground," with a kid-friendly playground and splash pad, plenty of open green space, a dog park, and covered picnic areas... and of course the riverwalk running straight through it.

Running

With a splash park, open space, playground, and much more, Tampa Waterworks Park is a super popular spot right off the side of the Tampa Riverwalk. It can get pretty crowded in the park, but if you run by early in the morning, you'll likely have a lot of the area to yourself.
