A new park is coming to the Parrish area, with several amenities meant to provide the recreational and community gathering space that residents have been seeking for years.

The Manatee Board of County Commissioners recently approved $15.4 million for Parrish Community Park, which will be built on Fort Hamer Road, near Parrish Community High School.

It is part of a larger plan for a town center, which will feature a new State College of Florida campus, Parrish Community High School and an aquatic center.

The park is packed with features to make the most of the 11.5 acre space. Architectural renderings show off a wooden boardwalk, a splash pad area, various playgrounds and a performance pavilion. There are also designated food truck parking spots for events.

Parrish Community Park is also set to feature 20 fitness stations, picnic pavilions, restrooms and other amenities. A groundbreaking ceremony is set for Aug. 11, and the park is expected to open by the end of 2024.

Thanks to a 120' by 120' shade structure and event lawn, the park will be able to host festivals, plays and other community events. Hamey said she looks forward to the park's ability to introduce neighbors to one another.

According to Manatee County's Capital Improvement Plan, there are also plans to develop a second phase of Parrish Community Park, which will provide another public swimming pool north of the Manatee River.

County officials hope to add a competitive lap pool, as well as a "shallow play pool with water features," the latest version of the CIP says. The competitive pool, which is expected to accommodate tournaments and other programs, will be 25 yards by 25 meters with 10 lap lanes.

The pool facility at Parrish Community Park is expected to cost about $13 million. Construction is not set to begin until 2025 with the goal of completing the aquatic center by the end of 2027.
