The City of Gainesville’s Wild Spaces & Public Places Program and the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department are pleased to provide an update for the community center and park, located at 1701 NE 8th Ave. We’ve applied for construction permits and work is expected to begin later this summer with a completion date in mid-2021. *
Community engagement was relied upon extensively throughout the planning and design phases of this project to better understand the unique needs and wishes of the neighborhood. Well attended community open houses allowed for voting and discussion of the future improvements. A complete copy of the final design drawings for the Clarence R. Kelly Community Center and Park can be viewed here.
