THE LOCATION

Ross Norton is conveniently located in the center
of Clearwater, Florida. The park contains a recreation
complex (opened in 2005) complete with an aquatic
complex, skate park, teen lounge, gymnasium
and state-of-the-art fitness center. The outdoor
park amenities include athletic fields, a beautiful
lake (Lake Belleview), sidewalks, the Clearwater
Historical Society and shuffleboard courts.
THE DEDICATION
The Playground will be dedicated to Arturo Huerta-Cruz,
who died serving his country in Iraq on April
14, 2008. He is the only solider that Clearwater
has lost in Iraq. Mr. Huerta-Cruz received a
Purple Heart, Army Achievement Medal and National
Defense Service Medal.
