Victory Pointe Park Overview
Lake County, FL
As part of the Downtown Master Plan process for the City of Clermont, Florida, GAI’s Community Solutions Group identified Victory Pointe Park as a key catalyst project, based on the city’s need for a new stormwater facility on the west side. Victory Pointe Park re-envisions the typical stormwater pond approach by creating a community amenity that provides recreation, a wildlife habitat, as well as a signature address for adjacent future development. The new park receives stormwater from a significant portion of the downtown streets, and includes a series of cascading filter marsh treatment areas designed to reference native Florida environments—just part of a series of innovative stormwater strategies developed to help improve water quality within Lake Minneola and expand development opportunities in downtown Clermont.
In addition to providing environmental improvements and serving as a development catalyst, the project establishes the adjacent lakefront as the location for myriad special events hosted by the city—making it a premier destination in the area, while creating economic opportunities for merchants and restaurants. Victory Pointe Park was opened to the public in late summer 2018.
