All Hillsborough County parks, preserves, recreation centers, and boat ramps will close Monday, Oct. 7, to allow staff to focus on the emergency response to Hurricane Milton.

Regional Park
The R/C Track at Lake Conservation Park will be closed for renovation from 9/15/24 to 10/05/24.
There’s something for everyone at this large park surrounded by suburban homes. For nature lovers, there are five lakes, cypress swamps, pine flatwoods, hardwood hammocks, and lots of wildlife. Marked wooded pathways are great for hikers, cross-country runners, mountain bicyclists, and equestrians. There’s a fitness trail with workout stations, an archery range, two horse arenas, and opportunities to fish and boat on the lakes. The park has a track for Tampa BMX and radio-controlled car racing.
