Polk Street Community Center Parking Lot Renovation Project

As the agency published it

City of Bartow, FL - Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts has issued invitation to bid, solicitation 27-01.

The City of Bartow plans to renovate and improve the parking lot and surrounding landscape at the Polk Street Community Center. The project is intended to address deteriorating parking lot conditions, improve functionality and accessibility, and create a more attractive and welcoming environment for residents and visitors. Work is anticipated to include removal of existing trees that are contributing to pavement and infrastructure damage, repair or replacement of affected parking surfaces, and improvements to the overall parking lot layout and appearance. In addition to the parking lot improvements, the project will refresh the surrounding landscaping with an emphasis on attractive, durable, and low-maintenance plantings appropriate for a high-use public facility. The completed project should improve vehicle and pedestrian circulation, enhance safety and usability, reduce future maintenance concerns, and provide a positive first impression that reflects the Community Center's importance as a public gathering and recreation space.

The City of Bartow, through its Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts Department and other municipal operations, is committed to enhancing community facilities, infrastructure, and public spaces. As a growing municipality focused on improving quality of life, the City of Bartow invests in projects that support safety, accessibility, recreation, and long‑term sustainability for residents and visitors. The Polk Street Community Center and its surrounding amenities play a vital role as a public gathering and recreational destination, and the City of Bartow remains dedicated to maintaining and upgrading these facilities to ensure they continue to meet community needs and reflect Bartow’s high standards for public service.
