tampa, FLorida

The Kate Jackson Community Center is a project for the City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department. The building was completed in Summer 2003. It is situated on the site of the existing Kate Jackson Park, located within the Historic Hyde Park neighborhood of Tampa, Florida.

The community center contains various recreational spaces, as well as facilities for the existing park. The architectural language and massing is based on the founders (Kate Jackson) residence, and historic bungalow, and references the history and architectural heritage of the neighborhood as required by the district’s Architectural Review Commission.

Kate Jackson Park and Community Center are adjacent to Hyde Park Village, a mixed-use neighborhood center in the center of the historic district and within a five minute walk from most housing in the historic district.
