David E. West Park

City Dedicates New Park in Honor of Community Activist

Something I was remiss in not commenting about. The City of Tampa has created a new park honoring community activist David E. West. It will be dedicated by "Mayor Pam Iorio, Councilman Shawn Harrison and members of the community on Friday, June 30, at 10 a.m.Amenities such as a mulch-jogging path, play equipment, swings, picnic tables and benches were added to a six-acre stormwater facility, located at 2212 E. 97th Avenue, to create a new neighborhood park."

David was a good friend to Seminole Heights, in helping us deal with our prostitution and other crime issues.

    Is this yet another new park, or a renaming of an existing one?

    "yet another new park" seems to imply Tampa has an overabundance of green spaces. Provided the city maintains and adequately polices them I say there's no such thing as too many parks.
