Welcome to Wonderful Wellswood
|
|
Wellswood derives its name from the Wells family who originally purchased the 640 acres on which the community sits. Founded as the first suburb of the City of Tampa after the World War II, Wellswood remains a middle-class neighborhood that strives to provide a family friendly atmosphere.
The Wellswood community center was deeded by James F. and Edna Wells-Wishart in 1949 and the first house was built in 1950. Wellswood was originally known as Wells Park but was renamed due to the abundance of pine and oak trees in the area.
The Wellswood Civic Center, as it is known today, is the heart of neighborhood activities and kept for posterity by the Wellswood Civic Association. The members of the Wellswood Civic Association continue to ensure our lovely home has a voice in the issues that affect us all.
The Wellswood Civic Center is available for private rentals. Please see the Rent the Civic Center page to learn more.
Our street mural is complete!
Thank you neighbors and Tampa Catholic volunteers for your hard work in the hot sun helping to paint our street mural.
This has been a 2 year project that has finally come to completion!
The peahen and chick design was selected from an art competition in 2020 among Tampa Catholic High School students
and the winning design was by Katie Layman.
We were awarded a grant by the Children's Board of Hillsborough County in 2022 which allowed us to hire our artist Latonya (with special assistance by Angela the artist that designed and painted our mural on the side of the civic center in 2020) and complete the project this year.
There was a great turn out of different neighbors throughout the day and we are so happy to have made some new friendships.
We really love the new street art and hope it will slow down some of the traffic traveling along Wishart.

We would not have been able to paint this wonderful street mural to keep our
neighborhood safe without your generous support
