Park to Deliver a State-of- the-Art NFL Obstacle Course
The National Football League (NFL) Alumni Chap- ter, Tampa Housing Author- ity (THA) and Related Urban Development Group (RUDG), celebrate the groundbreaking of a neigh- borhood park and state-of- the-art NFL obstacle course.
Plans for the park were unveiled at an event attended by Mayor Jane Castor, President of the NFL Alumni Association and former
Tampa Bay Buccaneers player, Walter Carter, THA Vice Chair Bemetra Salter Liggins will serve as Mis- tress of Ceremonies, THA President/CEO Jerome D. Ryans and representatives from RUDG, Albert Milos, President.
The event is aptly timed ahead of Super Bowl LV hosted in Tampa and at- tended by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The park will feature a 40-yard dash as well as multiple obstacles includ- ing agility set ups, floating
boards, ninja steps and more. A welcome addition to the area, the park will serve resi- dents and visitors of West River, currently undergoing a massive redevelopment transforming the historically underserved 120-acre parcel into a multi-generational, mixed-use, mixed-income community. The NFL- branded obstacle course will be the first of its kind in the
country.
The groundbreaking was
held Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2021, at 1107 W. Chestnut St.
