It was our absolute pleasure to see Tangelo Park residents enjoying their new community center at this week’s Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. Our design team has enjoyed the challenge of adapting an abandoned YMCA gym into a gleaming gymnasium, rebuilding the outdoor pool, and crafting a brand new community center with spaces for inspired gathering, fitness and enrichment.
The Tangelo Park Community Center will serve all ages. Preschool and school-aged children can partake in afterschool programs and activities, while teenagers can receive mentoring and support with high school coursework and college admissions. Adults will benefit from job placement services, as well as life skills and financial skills classes. Seniors now have a space for social clubs and fitness classes. All ages can enjoy the pool, computer lab, fitness activities and the multipurpose room. Outdoor pavilions shaded by solar panels offer space for farmers markets and festivals. Places to gather and live life together were thoughtfully designed for the residents of the Tangelo Park neighborhood.
The shape of the center itself was inspired by the homes in the surrounding neighborhood built in the 1960s. Pops of orange, green and blue pay homage to the history of the site as a citrus grove settled under the blue Florida sky, which is also the inspiration for the community’s name. KMF was honored to be a part of this special project.
As always, thank you to our team for making this project a success:
