A combination of community involvement, inspired design, a 22-year passion for our city, and a Mayor’s initiative led to the Tampa Palms 5 Acre Park design. The unspoiled 5-acre plot of land, which was allocated to the City of Tampa, was chosen for an Autism-Sensory Inclusive playground and natural park in a growing residential community. In collaboration with the City of Tampa and the surrounding neighborhoods, Conner designed the park to fit in with the needs of the community and blend in with the natural environment.
