Residents are encouraged to participate in an online survey to share which sports they would like to see offered at County parks
Hillsborough County Parks & Recreation is asking residents to help shape the future of adult sports leagues and recreational opportunities throughout the community. The department has launched an online public engagement survey inviting residents to share which sports they'd like to play at their local parks, how often, and whether residents would be willing to pay a fee to join a league.
The survey is designed to measure community interest in adult sports and identify potential barriers that may prevent residents from participating. Those barriers could include the distance to a park, participation costs, a lack of available fields or facilities, or other challenges.
Residents can provide feedback on a variety of sports and recreational activities, including:
- Pickleball
- Basketball
- Flag football
- Soccer
- Indoor and outdoor volleyball
- Fitness classes
- Kickball
- Running and walking clubs
- Softball
Public comments submitted through the survey are visible to other residents participating in the engagement, giving community members an opportunity to see what activities their neighbors are interested in and what improvements they would like to see.
Adult sports and recreational programs offer benefits beyond physical activity. Organized leagues and group activities can help residents stay active, build friendships, connect with their neighbors, and develop a stronger sense of community. They also provide opportunities for older adults and seniors to remain physically active and socially engaged.
Whether you're looking to join a competitive league, try a new sport, or simply find more opportunities to stay active, your feedback can help Hillsborough County better understand what the community wants and needs. The survey results will help Parks & Recreation evaluate demand, identify opportunities to expand programming, and guide future decisions about making adult sports leagues and recreational activities more accessible throughout Hillsborough County.
Residents are encouraged to complete the survey to make their voice heard. Discover everything Parks & Recreation has to offer and sign up for the department's monthly newsletter to stay up to date on upcoming events, programs, and more.
Parks & Recreation programs and services are funded in part by Hillsborough County property tax dollars.
