Hillsborough County officials and staff broke ground Friday, Aug. 30 for a project that will bring major improvements to Cross Creek Park in New Tampa.
Nestled in the northeastern portion of the County, 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.
Cross Creek Park is located at 19025 Basset Creek Dr., Tampa, FL 33647 and is in an area that also includes the popular New Tampa Performing Arts Center, John B. Sargeant Sr. Park, and Flatwoods Park.
