The construction of the 19,568 sq. ft. Community Center is now underway, now that groundbreaking for this facility was held this past week. The recreation center will have a kitchen/snack bar, multi-purpose room, gymnastics area, and lobby. Removable equipment will be in the gymnastics area where aerobics and dance can also be held.
The New Tampa half-acre skate park will feature modular ramps that can be moved, providiing for more flexibility. Local skateboarders and BMX riders will be pleased to have a nearby site.
The cost of the rec center is expected to be $3.7 million and the skate park's cost is estimated at $500,000. When I drove by the site yesterday on Commerce Park Blvd., in Tampa Palms, next to the Liberty Middle School and Freedom High School Campus, I noticed that the bulldozers have already started. Plans are for to have a joint opening of the Community Center and Skate Park in 2008.
