Millville Waterfront Park nears completion; amphitheater to host first concert
Summary
A presenter said Millville Waterfront Park's phase 1 upgrades — walking paths, a playground, shaded seating and a new amphitheater — are largely finished, while restrooms remain part of phase 2. The Panama City Community Redevelopment Agency and the Millville CRA Redevelopment Plan guided the work; a concert is planned at the amphitheater.
A presenter announced that enhancements to Millville Waterfront Park in Panama City are nearing completion, spotlighting new walking paths, a playground, shaded seating and a new amphitheater. The presenter said the city purchased the 4.2-acre waterfront site in 2008 and described the work as a long-term investment in neighborhood quality of life.
"This project is more than a park," the Presenter said, adding that "it's a long term investment into quality of life, neighborhood pride, and community connection." The presenter credited the Panama City Community Redevelopment Agency and the Millville CRA Redevelopment Plan with making the project possible.
According to the presenter, much of phase 1 is complete. Work finished so far includes walking paths, a playground, shaded seating areas and the amphitheater; restroom construction remains part of phase 2 and is still underway. The presenter said the park is already drawing residents: "Kids are playing, neighbors are gathering, and the park is quickly becoming a community hub."
The presenter announced a first major event planned for the new amphitheater — a concert intended to showcase the space and bring people together. He described recreational opportunities at the site, including fishing, kayaking and biking, and emphasized the space is intended to be free and accessible to residents.
The announcement closed with the presenter saying that, even with a few finishing touches remaining, the Millville Waterfront Park is already making a lasting impact on the community. No dates or funding details for remaining work were specified.
