Tampa repairs parks and recreation centers post-hurricanes
Tampa is still working to reopen parks and recreation centers after two hurricanes caused significant damage over five months ago. The city has $17 million in repairs remaining, with four of eleven facilities already reopened. The DeSoto Park Community Center has recently reopened, and five more facilities are expected to open by the end of May. The city is also evaluating the status of the Ballast Point Pier. Tampa has received over $29 million from FEMA, with an expected total of $60 million. City officials are uncertain about future federal support due to potential changes in administration.
