Rolling Hills Community Park & Roadway Improvements

The Rolling Hills Park property, formerly the Rolling Hills Golf Course will be converted to a public park with recreational amenities.

Roadway improvements in the area will address multi-modal roadway needs that include pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers, and transit users.

The Rolling Hills Area Corridor Improvements Phase 1 include improvements on Raymond Avenue, North Street, and Palm Springs Drive. This page now serves as a hub of information for both the Rolling Hills Park and Roadway Improvement projects.

Park and Roadway Updates

• April 2025:

• The fountains in three Rolling Hills ponds are being turned off to avoid damaging the pumps while water levels are low. They will remain shut off until it rains and the water levels rise.

  Aerators will continue to operate to keep the ponds healthy and aerated. Lake Jeanette's fountain will continue to run.

• February 2025:
  • CMAR Chosen: At their January 28 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved the rankings and authorized negotiations for Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) services. The Collage Companies received the top ranking from the evaluation committee, establishing them as the project’s construction manager. This approach will ensure efficient collaboration between the County and the construction manager, keeping the project on budget and on schedule, while maintaining quality
  • Next Steps: The first work order will be for pre-construction services to begin in 2025. This includes the planning, coordination, and prep work that happens before actual construction begins. Services may include planning, budgeting, and site analysis.

Rolling Hills Park Tree Donation Fund
Seminole County is planting new trees throughout the Rolling Hills Park property. A healthy, diverse range of tree species provides wildlife habitat, creates shade, and enhances the area’s natural beauty. The new trees also make up for the loss of aging vegetation in the neighborhood and ensure that future generations can enjoy the park.

Each new tree costs about $1000-1500 to install and maintain. Residents may contribute any amount to the Rolling Hills Park Tree Donation Fund to support additional trees and expedite planting and maintenance.

To contribute, mail a check of any amount to: Seminole County Leisure Services, 1101 E 1^st Street, Sanford, FL 32771. A receipt will be provided.
