Training in South Tampa
Arsenal is on S Dale Mabry in the Interbay area of South Tampa, a short drive from Ballast Point, Bayshore Beautiful, Palma Ceia, Port Tampa, Gandy, Virginia Park, Sunset Park and MacDill. Parking is free on site and the Selmon Expressway runs straight to the door.

Parking Free, on site

Getting here
The facility is in the Interbay area of South Tampa, on S Dale Mabry Highway at the corner of the building’s upper level, suite 206. There is free parking on site, which in this part of Dale Mabry is not a given, and direct access from the Selmon Expressway — so a family coming from Brandon, Riverview or downtown is on a highway almost the whole way rather than crawling down Dale Mabry through the light at Gandy.
A customer put both facts more plainly than we can: “Plentiful parking with easy access from crosstown.”
There is no rail service to this stretch of Dale Mabry. HART bus routes run the corridor, but almost everyone arrives by car, and the parking is why an evening lesson at 6 PM does not begin with a lap of the lot.
