Project Update

For Tierra Verde Recreation Center

County staff, the architects and members of the community met to review and discuss an updated plan for the Tierra Verde Recreation Center on February 16, 2023. The revised plans addressed feedback gathered at the meeting held October 12, 2022, and received during the open comment period online at Open Pinellas. The new renderings and floor plans are below.

The updated floor plan adds movable walls to divide the large and small conference rooms, enlarges the kitchen, adds another entrance to the multipurpose room, provides a kitchenette for the offices, and includes a room to accommodate future audiovisual needs.
