Price Park
History
3
Price Park occupies land within W.T. Anderson's addition, platted in 1888, and Chas. H. Robinson's addition, platted in 1906. It was formerly the site of the A.F. Price home, purchased in 1917 from W.I. Porter. Alfred Francis "Frank" Price (1885-1961) served as Mayor of Dade City from 1915-1916 and was the fifth President of the Bank of Pasco County from 1930 until his passing, after beginning there in 1908 as assistant cashier and later cashier. Active in the citrus industry, he was also one of the primary organizers of Pasco Packing Association in 1936. Remains from that earlier ownership include the tennis courts, originally a single clay court, rumored to be the oldest courts still in use in Pasco County, and part of a distinctive brick and poured concrete wall constructed by local contractor James Knox Ward, also an earlier mayor. The City of Dade City acquired the land from the Price-Huckaby family in 1967 and named it Price Park in recognition of Price's contributions to the community.
