This structure always fascinated me.
When I was young it used to be a Drive In movie theater. But it was eventually bought by the city and made into a park.
Apparently it was originally built as a water tower in 1927. The tower can be seen from Interstate 275, and at night is all lit up.

I love it when local communities repurpose landmarks.
Interesting tower. Wonder if it's a nice park to visit.
I'm in Pinellas County, so it's a drive for me.
I'm guessing it had a big container of water at the top at one time. Nice that they didn't destroy the tower. Very unique!
The tower does look elegant somehow.
Nice photos and interesting history.
I hope the tower stays for the next generations.
Worth a Thousand Words
Good.
How wonderful that the tower has lasted through several changes in use. I like it in a park. Nice.
How nice the tower has made it through several different uses. I like that it's in a park
I lived in Tampa back in the 1970's and had no idea this tower existed. Don't know when I'll be back to Tampa again but I'll try to remember.
I thought it was a lighthouse on an island!
That’s neat that they made a park and that they light up the tower at night.
