Project Overview

Raymond H. Neri Community Park, formerly Joe’s Creek Greenway Park, is adjacent to the Lealman Exchange in the Central Lealman Area of Pinellas County. The County recently completed a draft master plan for the park and is holding a community information meeting to gain input from citizens about the plan and what they would like to see in the park. Once the master plan is completed the County will move forward with the initial phases of the park’s development. The overall concept of the park includes multi-purpose fields, dog parks, walking trails, play grounds, adult fitness area, pavilions, restrooms, and a small amphitheater.

 

Project Schedule

• Design Start: June 2019

 

The park will be completed in several phases as funding becomes available. The draft master plan calls for Phase 1A to include sidewalks, playground equipment, restroom, a challenge course and an adult fitness area. Phase 1 includes additional parking, multi-use trail, park infrastructure (water, sewer & stormwater treatment), dog parks, open play fields and picnic shelters.

 

This project is funded through the Penny for Pinellas program and Community Development Block Grant.
