Carrollwood Village Community Park
Project Number
Description
The purpose of this project is to acquire approximately 50 acres of the former Dale Mabry Wastewater Treatment Plant site and develop the land into a community park. This project will be produced in phases and will involve land acquisition, project development, design, and construction. Proposed park infrastructure for Phase I includes site work, landscaping, potable and reclaimed water, electric/power, irrigation, roadways, paving, building renovation, new construction, and signage. Recommended amenities include a walking/jogging trail, playground, dog park, plant/butterfly garden, and other miscellaneous park equipment/fixtures. This project will be explored for possible public-private partnership opportunities.
The Hillsborough County Public Utilities Department plans to surplus most of the property, and the Carrollwood Village community has requested the project. It will serve as a community project while engaging and enhancing the community area.
