Tampa Parks and Recreation Master Plan

Help make our City a better place to live, work and play by taking the Community Interest and Opinion Survey (https://publicinput.com/TampaParksMPOnlineSurvey) . This survey provides the opportunity to further establish the Vision for Tampa’s Parks and Recreation Department (https://www.yourtampaparksplan.com/) by helping to identify park, open space, and recreation needs and priorities.

Alexander Elementary School Supply Drive

As part of the National Hispanic Heritage Celebration, the Mayor’s Hispanic Heritage Committee (MHHC) has partnered with Alexander Elementary School - a predominantly Hispanic (91%), economically disadvantaged school. MHHC is collecting supplies to be used in the classrooms, such as tissues, paper towels, notebooks, markers, etc. Donations will be accepted until August 20th, 2021 (https://www.tampa.gov/hispanic-heritage-committee/alexander-elementary-supply-drive) .
