New Clermont Waterfront Park Pavillion in the works!

It looks like Clermont's Waterfront Park is finally going to have a band shell!  I remember a band shell being proposed for phase two of the Waterfront Park project when it was announced about a decade ago.  Phase two should have been complete years ago based on the original plans...but better late than never.

Here is one of the earlier architect's rendering of what it should look like.

To get a lay of the land, The south Lake Trail and Lake Minneola are on the left.  The building behind the band shell would be the replacement building for the Highlander Hut.  In the past we have often used the Highlander Hut for race registration for our triathlons.

I was shown more detailed plans by local architect Mike Latham from GatorSktch Architects, the Clermont firm awarded the design contract.  The pavilion and new Highlander Hut builder are going to be very nice and an asset to Clermont.

Current plans have construction starting in April and if the project stays on track, it will be finished in time for October's Great Floridian Triathlon.  This means we'll still have to work around the construction during our summer Sprint Triathlon Series, but that is no big deal.

I'll post more drawings of what it will look like when I find them.
