Major renovations coming to New Tampa park
Tony Sadiku reports
TAMPA, Fla. - Major renovations are coming to a park in New Tampa.
The $5.6-million improvement project will happen at Branchton Park on Morris Bridge Road and is based on input from Hillsborough County residents.
Currently, the park includes a small parking area, shelter, playground and a basketball court. Proposed changes include the addition of small and large dog parks, multiple playgrounds, shelters, a splash pad, walking trails, and multiple-use courts.
Improvements are expected to be built on land south of the park.
An estimated 45,000 residents live within a 10-minute drive to the park. The county says the first phase of park improvements could begin later this year.
