TAMPA – Hillsborough County broke ground 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.
