Unit Name: Palm River Park (McKay Bay Greenway)<br />

Acres: 2.46<br />

Description:<br />

Managing<br />

Agency:<br />

City <strong>of</strong> Tampa<br />

Current Management Plan<br />

Approved:<br />

334<br />

6/18/2002<br />

These 2.46 acres were purchased to establish the Palm River Park/trailhead for the proposed<br />

McKay Bay Bikeway. This site is not yet open for public use. The City provides maintenance <strong>of</strong><br />

perimeter fencing to prohibit access to the site until formally open for public recreational use.<br />

Ongoing maintenance activities also include lawn mowing and trash removal on a regular basis.<br />

Future improvement plans include installation <strong>of</strong> a park identification sign at the south entrance<br />

along Palm Avenue. By the end <strong>of</strong> 2011, the City intends to install an interim crushed shell<br />

driveway, a parking lot, and a trail in their proposed locations. Associated improvements will<br />

include bollard installation at the parking lot and removal <strong>of</strong> invasive species along the tidal inlet.<br />

The remainder <strong>of</strong> planned improvements will be addressed in future years as budgeting allows.<br />

Accomplishments<br />

Other:<br />

The site had eight septic tanks located on it from the previous owner. These were pumped<br />

out and abandoned in May 2010.
