K-Bar Ranch Park Updates, Community Meeting
The City of Tampa, committed to enhancing residents' quality of life, is in the planning stages of bringing a beautiful new park to K-Bar Ranch and New Tampa.
The park will offer active and passive recreational opportunities while preserving the natural beauty of the area, which has been enhanced with the planting of 10,300 saplings in the past year.
"The 56-acre K-Bar Ranch Park site will be a generational gem in New Tampa. All of New Tampa is excited for this." City Councilman Luis Viera said. "To make the park accessible to everyone, we need everyone to participate in its planning, so we’re inviting everyone to attend the K-Bar Park Project Launch Meeting on October 15."
There is enough room in the space to incorporate multipurpose athletic fields, trails, picnic facilities, and play areas.
A major step forward happens Thursday, October 15 from 6:30-7:30 P.M. when Councilman Viera, Parks & Recreation Director Ted Fowler, and members of the Skanska project team will host a community meeting at the Cross Creek Park & Recreation Center, 19019 Basset Creek Drive.
Additional opportunities to participate will be added as the project moves forward.
