Hurricane Milton Update No. 106

Hillsborough County, Fla. (Jan. 31, 2025) - Hillsborough County will reopen Lake Park on Saturday, Feb. 1, at 8 a.m.

The park, located at 17302 N. Dale Mabry Hwy., Lutz, FL 33549, was temporarily closed in October and later used as a Countywide vegetative debris collection site to accommodate an unprecedented number of downed trees and other vegetation resulting from Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Lake Park features five lakes, cypress swamps, pine flatwoods, hardwood hammocks, and abundant wildlife. The marked pathways are popular with hikers, runners, mountain bicyclists, and equestrians. One of the County's most amenity-rich parks, Lake Park includes a fitness trail with workout stations, an archery range, two horse arenas and a track for Tampa BMX and radio-controlled car racing.
