Pasco County parks, Lightning league play, and libraries
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

in terms of the sticks and whatnot to start the initial league with also a series of clinics and then really kind of to just get the program rolling at which point then the parks team would assume you know overseeing the league play from that point on.
You know what the favorite part is that they're all different. So they have different nuances, different paint jobs, different things that you that you look forward to that are unique to each. So we're gonna have a
combination of Free play, obviously open to the public. Uh and then in coordination with the the Lightning, we will be working on actual league play where we can create some structured programming depending on season. As we know, having kids, uh giving
them an activity, something to do is a great thing. Uh there'll be this place will be loaded with kids every night.
I love Pasco County. There's a ton of Lightning fans in Pasco County and there's a ton of engaged kids as well.
It's just uh one more wonderful thing that we're bringing to Pasco County to give our residents a really high quality of life.
Hi, I'm Brian Taylor with Pasco County Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources. While many of you have been staying at home helping stop the spread of COVID-19, we've been using this unique time working in all our parks to enhance your experience. Let's take a look. On your next visit to JB Starkey Wilderness Park, you can walk the new shell path leading to the beautiful new Birdblind. And in Key Vista Nature Park, you'll see how grant funding made it possible to protect the gopher tortoises as we wrapped up this important habitat
restoration project. You'll also notice big improvements at the Pet Cemetery in Land O' Lakes, where our team has worked to spruce up the space, resetting headstones and removing debris. We've knocked one out of the park for our athletes with major improvements to baseball, softball, and soccer fields in several of our county parks. And our team members are taking a paintbrush to almost everything, including picnic tables, concession stands, even our rec centers. there is no doubt that, from trimming
trees and repairing fences, To pressure washing. and building new gardens and playgrounds. You will see big changes on your next visit. And a huge thank you to our parks team for stepping up to help the children of frontline workers by hosting a critical day camp when they had no other place to go. When we reopen, we hope your experience is even better than it was before. We can't wait for you to see what we've done. For more information on our parks, programs, and services, visit
