New details released on Pasco parks plans

County commissioners will have two stark options when they meet later this month to consider plans for a new privately operated park. One would draw wakeboarders to a gorgeous blue lake in Aripeka. The other would draw families to the hopping Wiregass area for youth sports tournaments.

Formal presentations for the parks were released Thursday. The county received the proposals last month, but they were exempt from public review for 30 days under state purchasing guidelines.

Both plans help flesh out details about the two ideas, but they also leave some questions unanswered. The biggest question: How much tax money are commissioners willing to put up for the plans?

Commissioners will meet Nov. 30 to discuss how they will split up the more than $11 million in tourist development cash that could be spent on the projects. The county has millions of dollars socked away to build new parks, but scant resources for operations.

Former professional wakeboarder Patrick Panakos founded an Orlando company to help increase the popularity of his sport by building more wake parks. He wants to expand to Aripeka by building a cable-based system on a county-owned lake at the old SunWest mine site.
