Clearwater, Florida by Staff
Stantec provided architecture and interior design; landscape architecture; civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering; coastal resiliency analysis; and construction administration services for the project. The reimagined park creates an enhanced sense of place and community. It features 12 acres of new park greenspace, a nautical-themed playground, an interactive pop jet splash pad, a wildflower garden, walking and biking trails, and local artwork, creating a sense of place and community. Distinctive lighting includes custom-designed stainless-steel torchiers with programmed lighting effects. The design of the torchiers was inspired by native mangrove trees. More Improvements A new amphitheater, the Sound, is an outdoor music venue with an overall capacity of 9,000. This includes 4,000 covered seats in an open-air arena and an additional 5,000 on the sloped lawn with a state-of-the-art stage and green room facilities to attract top touring groups. The venue will host year-round performances with a backdrop of memorable waterfront sunsets. The Sound, and the entire park, will be a major economic driver for Clearwater. Looking Back Previously, the 24-acre site was mostly a surface parking lot and under-utilized green space that hosted a yearly jazz festival. When the city did an initial master plan study and economic impact analysis, they determined the site was a prime location to create an urban bayfront destination like none other on Florida's West Coast and be a catalyst for downtown economic development. Forward Momentum The result of that study led to Stantec winning an RFP to confirm the master plan study and provide community engagement to help receive the city council's approval. Once the master plan was approved, Stantec were engaged to provide complete design documentation from SDs to CDs, permitting, and construction administration. This included full services for landscape architecture and from their in-house teams for architecture, interior design, civil, MEP, structural engineering, and sustainability.
