Hillsborough County, Fla. (Aug. 29, 2024) - Hillsborough County will break ground Friday, Aug. 30, on a project that will transform Cross Creek Park.

The centerpiece of the $8.7 million upgrade will be a new 16,000-square-foot community center and gymnasium with a fitness room, multipurpose room, multiple classrooms, and a covered outdoor space. The old playground will be replaced with a state-of-the-art one, and the project will add a new parking lot, walking path, pavilion, shelter, and green space.

The park is in an area that also includes the popular New Tampa Performing Arts Center, John B. Sargeant Sr. Park, and Flatwoods Park.

The groundbreaking ceremony will be at 10:30 a.m. at 19025 Basset Creek Dr., Tampa, FL 33647.
