The Sound renderings
The Sound at Coachman Park is just one part of a major $84 million Downtown Clearwater waterfront redevelopment project. The outdoor amphitheater will include 4,000 covered seats plus an additional 5,000 lawn seats within the reimagined 19-acre park.
Other renovation features include a walkway that connects the park to downtown, public art spaces, a pedestrian promenade overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, a 320-foot scenic lake overlook and a pirate-themed playground with a splash pad.
“This will be an iconic venue offering a one-of-a-kind experience in Tampa Bay. The Sound will host great entertainment in front of Clearwater’s breathtaking sunset and is sure to be an artist favorite," Susan M. Crockett, the president and CEO of Ruth Eckerd Hall, said in a statement.
