FRED BALL PARK
The Parks & Rec horticulturalist who designed the garden beds around the gazebo and behind the spring in Fred Ball Park, has agreed to design the liner garden that will be planted by Rose Circle in the fall 2024 where the old chain link fence once stood. A total of 30 volunteers from PwC, Target, Keeping Tampa Bay Beautiful, Argyle Real Estate Group, and Tampa Garden Club came together to help the city remove all of the unwanted debris and load it into trucks.
The next phase will be to, grind stumps, grade the area, ensure proper drainage, repair irrigation and put in borders for the new liner garden. Please consider volunteering to help Rose Circle in the fall plant the new liner garden. We will need about 70 volunteers to get the job done. The goal is to have the plants substantiated and the front of the park ready for the historical marker ceremony in March of 2025.
