Hillsborough County, Fla. (Jan. 22, 2025) - Hillsborough County on Thursday, Jan. 23, will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony to show off the renovations that have transformed Branchton Park into the County's newest destination park.

Branchton Park, 15504 Morris Bridge Rd., Thonotosassa, FL 33592, has been expanded to 43 acres and will offer numerous recreational opportunities to the 45,000 residents who live within a 10-minute drive, and the revamped park is expected to draw residents from a much wider area.

The park's state-of-the-art amenities will feature a large playground, splash pad, restrooms and changing rooms, six shelters, pickleball courts, public art, a dog park, and walking trails.

Thursday's 10 a.m. ceremony will showcase the work that has been completed on the $10 million project, including the large playground that is accessible for children of all abilities, splash pad, picnic pavilions, lighting, and parking lot improvements.
