Known as a vacation destination to many, the city of St. Petersburg, Fla., is nestled on a peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. To those who call it home, the “Sunshine City” boasts a neighborhood gem--Dell Holmes Park. Known originally as Lakeview Park, it was renamed in 2003 to honor the city’s late parks director, Dell Holmes. For more than two decades, Holmes served the city and championed the park’s restoration. Shortly after the name change, funding became available and helped the park become what it is today--a fulfillment of Holmes’ vision. Above all, the veteran parks director wanted to offer the community a beautiful, inspiring and natural place to visit, one that might even make you feel like a kid again.
Working closely with the city, Wade Trim--a national civil engineering and planning firm--provided environmental planning and design for the park’s comprehensive master plan. The contractor of record for the 21.5-acre park was Orlando, Fla.-based Construct Two Construction Managers Inc.
