Opened in 2018, ten acre Victory Pointe Park is a storm water treatment pond, community park, and a…read morenative wildlife habitat. At a cost of 9.5 million dollars, the City of Clermont, the Community Solutions Group and Powell Studio Architecture partnered together on a project to create a solution to the pollution in Lake Mineola. They came up with a storm water treatment plan and designed a facility that improves the drainage in downtown Clermont and while cleaning the water entering Lake Minneola, which has been designated as impaired water by the State of Florida. As water hits land it picks up chemicals, pesticides, oil, and sediment before entering Lake Minneola. Victory Pointe is able to filter out these contaminants before the water gets to the lake. After it rains the water drains into swales and planters which provides stage one of treatment. In stage two the water is directed into retention ponds where bio-swales and planters further filter the water. In the last two stages of treatment, water enters an inundated marsh and filter marsh. From there the water enters Lake Minneola. Interpretive signage installed around the park provide education about the storm water treatment system, how it works, and how it helps the environment. The park also includes a 40 foot tower, trails that lead to businesses downtown, a restroom, and a performance area for staging festivals and athletic competitions. During my visit the park was the site of the Light Up Clermont event for the holidays. The part of the event staged in the park was called Holiday Enchanted Forest. Different themed trees were decorated by local businesses and civic organizations and displayed. There was so much creativity. I loved it, especially at night when it was all lit up and holiday music was playing. Next door to the park is Clermont's Historic Village. This is park is not only beautiful to look at but it is also important to the development of downtown businesses by providing a place for storm water to drain away.
