My Clearwater
Imagine Clearwater Has Begun
It was a banner
year for the highlyanticipated
06 MyClearwater
Imagine
Clearwater project on
the waterfront in Downtown
Clearwater with the launch of
construction on the $84-million
redevelopment of the city’s iconic
Coachman Park.
Imagine Clearwater is an investment in the
redevelopment of Downtown Clearwater and its
waterfront – including construction of a new 4,000-seat
covered amphitheater in Coachman Park – that will be a
must-see destination point in the Tampa Bay area.
The magnitude of the project is evidenced by the
rolling in of roughly 65,000 cubic yards of dirt to the
construction site in November on more than 4,000
trucks. The material is being used to elevate the site
to lift new buildings out of the flood zone and to
accommodate new grading needed for design features.
Excitement over the project continues to build as the
public can watch construction online giving the region
a bird's-eye view of progress on this game-changing
project. To view 24-hour live webcams overlooking the

“Imagine Clearwater is
a generational project,
one that we believe will
serve Clearwater families
and guests for decades to
come. Finally, we will be taking
full advantage of our unique
downtown waterfront,” said
Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard.
Designed to connect the waterfront and the
Downtown Clearwater community, Imagine Clearwater
includes an expansive park and recreational spaces, a
gateway plaza and bluff walk that connects the park
to downtown, a bay walk promenade overlooking the
Intracoastal Waterway, a lake area with picnic shelters,
and an ocean-themed play area with an interactive popjet
water feature.
The additions to Coachman Park also include the
amphitheater, which will accommodate a year-round
performance schedule that promises to continue the
city of Clearwater’s reputation as a premier location for
diverse live entertainment.
