The Jungle Prada Site (also known as Jungle Mound, Narvarez Site or Anderson Site) is an archaeological Tocobaga mounds and historical Narváez expedition site, and a city bayside park, in St. Petersburg of Pinellas County, western coastal Florida, in the Southern United States.
The Jungle Prada Site was added, on February 4, 2003, to the National Register of Historic Places.
The Jungle Prada—Mound Site is reputedly the 1528 landing site of the Spanish explorer Panfilo de Narvaez's Florida expedition to explore and expand colonial New Spain into North America. The remaining site of buildings set upon earthen mounds by the Tocobaga indigenous peoples of Florida predates the Spanish passing.
The historical site and surrounding recreational city park are protected and maintained by the City of St. Petersburg. They are located near the eastern shore of Boca Ciega Bay, at Park Street North and Elbow Lane (17th Avenue) in the city.
