Parks and Recreation Survey

The Davis Islands Neighborhood Planning Task Force is conducting a survey of residents to determine the types of park, recreation and open space facilities that are or should be provided by the City of Tampa.

Your responses are confidential and will only be used in planning for future parks and recreation opportunities in the city and on Davis Islands.

Please fill out the questionaire below and leave it at the collection box at Java and Cream, in Davis Islands Village. We will forward the forms to the city.
