NEW TAMPA – Hillsborough County was scheduled to hold a ribbon cutting ceremony Jan. 23 to show off the renovations that have transformed Branchton Park into the county’s newest destination park.
Located at 15504 Morris Bridge Road, Branchton Park has been expanded to 43 acres and will offer numerous recreational opportunities to the 45,000 residents who live within a 10-minute drive.
The revamped park is expected to draw residents from a much wider area.
The park’s amenities will include a large playground, splash pad, restrooms and changing rooms, six shelters, pickleball courts, public art, a dog park, and walking trails.
The ribbon cutting was designed to showcase the work that has been completed on the $10 million project, including the large playground that is accessible for children of all abilities, splash pad, picnic pavilions, lighting and parking lot improvements.
The park will be open from sunrise to sunset seven days a week. Work on the remaining park features will be completed in coming weeks.
