The City of Tampa plans to cut back on several features that have been planned for the makeover of Curtis Hixon Park to trim costs: a dog park, a building to house canoe or kayak rentals, snack bar, visitors center, shaded trellis, and misting fountain near the river. Urban dwellers have dogs, and they need a place downtown to let their dogs run free. We are asking fellow downtown residents and business owners to voice their opinions about keeping the dog park or other features that are now slated to be cut from the plans.

The City of Tampa is trying to strip away the essential parts of our park just to save a few dollars. These bureaucrats clearly have no idea what it is like to actually live downtown and they seem perfectly happy to ignore our needs.

The momentum behind this petition is undeniable and the City of Tampa is finally feeling the heat. They think they can strip our park for parts to save a buck but they clearly underestimated how much we value our public space.

we need more amenities downtown not less. why build a park halfway? just do it right the first time.

SERIOUSLY? Cutting the canoe rentals? Downtown needs more activities on the water not fewer.

Fix the budget elsewhere. Don't take away the one thing that makes living in the city center enjoyable.

A misting station is a must in this humidity. Tampa summers are brutal and we need the shade/water features.

Living downtown is hard enough without having to drive 20 mins just to let the dog out. keep the dog park part of the plan!
