The Park Theatre was opened in 1928 as a vaudeville/movie theatre. During the 1940's it is listed as being operated by Paramount Pictures Inc. through their subsidiary E.J. Sparks. By the early 50s, it is shown as being part of the Wometco chain.

Since 1962 it has been taken over by the University of Tampa as a live performance facility.
