- Scherer Construction will soon start a $1.1 million project to build Pinesville Park in Archer on a 2.2-acre lot at 17005 SW 83rd Avenue.
- The park plans approved for completion in about five months include a sports court, playground, pavilions, parking lot, and solar lighting.
Scherer Construction crews are on the cusp of breaking ground on Alachua County’s Pinesville Park, a new designated outdoor space located about three miles north of downtown Archer at St. Peters Baptist Church.
Scherer’s Marketing Manager Shelley Vickers told Mainstreet the roughly $1.1 million project is in the final permitting stages and will take about five months to complete.
The 2.2-acre lot at 17005 SW 83rd Avenue is currently an empty piece of land. Park plans approved in September 2025 by Alachua County’s Development Review Committee include a new sports court, playground and bathrooms.
Pavilions with at least 10 picnic tables will provide shaded areas and crews will also install a paved parking lot, sidewalks, drinking fountains, solar lighting, landscaping and drainage improvements.
Scherer Construction posted to Facebook about Pinesville Park on Monday and said they’re honored to build a project that will have a lasting impact, from celebrating birthday parties to bringing the community together.
“Creating spaces like Pinesville Park is about investing in families, strengthening communities, and giving future generations a place to laugh, play, gather, and make memories,” Scherer Construction said in the post. “We can’t wait to watch this transformation take shape and see the Archer community enjoy it for many years to come.”
