39-acre youth sports park to undergo $23.5 million transformation in Pinellas Park

May 14, 2024/ Veronica Brezina

The aging athletic facilities and fields at Pinellas Park's youth sports center will be completely removed and a new upgraded sports campus will take its place.

A newly filed stormwater application permit calls for demolition of the existing 39-acre youth park site at 4100 66th Avenue North located just off U.S. Highway 19 and Interstate 275.

The park currently consists of three natural grass baseball fields, a tennis court, a roller hockey rink, visitor seating, and parking.

YES for Greenlight!

Pinellas County is Florida's densest county with over 920,000 people crammed into 280 square miles. It averages out to around 3,274 people per square mile. Why is this important? Because Pinellas County has simply run out of room. There is very little land left to be developed, so the main source of future growth has to come from redevelopment.

St. Petersburg, with nearly 4,000 people per square mile, anchors Pinellas County with close to a quarter of a million residents. Like Pinellas County, St. Petersburg is also built-out. There is little to no room left to build new roads or expand our highways. Therefore increasing density and mass transit are the only way to responsibly continue to grow.
