The West Palm Beach Waterfront on Flagler Drive

The City of West Palm Beach says its Waterfront stretches all along the Intracoastal Waterway from the City’s southeastern limits to its northern limits, with its epicenter at 100 Clematis Street. This page covers that downtown heart on Flagler Drive: each public space, what happens where, the docks and the nearest garages, all from City pages we read on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. Where two City pages give different addresses, we print both.

The Great Lawn and the Palm Stage

The City says the Palm Stage and the Great Lawn are at 100 North Clematis Street, reached from Flagler Drive, Narcissus Avenue or Clematis Street, and that the closest City garage is the Banyan garage at Banyan Boulevard and Narcissus Avenue. Its event venues page describes the Great Lawn as a waterfront park next to Flagler Drive with public restrooms on site and parking one block away. This is where the GreenMarket sets up on Saturdays in season and where Clematis by Night plays on Thursdays.

Centennial Square and the fountain

The City lists the Centennial Fountain at Nancy M. Graham Centennial Square under Swimming Pools & Water Play, with a contact number of 561-804-4900. Its event venues page describes Centennial Square as a downtown waterfront location with interactive fountains and paver-brick open space covering 35,500 square feet, with public restrooms.

The address is where City pages part ways. The fountain listing gives 150 N. Clematis Street; the venues page gives 100 South Clematis Street; the City’s event listings for Clematis by Night use 100 N. Clematis Street. All three point at the same square at the foot of Clematis, and we have not picked one. In 2025 the City also sought contractors, through a bid that closed September 4, 2025, to test, inspect and replace the fountain’s LED modules.

Meyer Amphitheatre

The City’s Directions and Parking page puts the Meyer Amphitheatre at 105 Evernia Street, with the Evernia garage as the closest City garage; its Community Events FAQ gives 104 Datura Street instead.

Lake Pavilion

The City says the Lake Pavilion is at 101 South Flagler Drive, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Intracoastal Waterway, and is part of the City Commons and Waterfront Promenade area with docks, lawns and shaded trellises.

The City docks

The City says its downtown waterfront docks are open first come, first served, seven days a week from 5 a.m. to midnight. Use is free for non-commercial boats only, and rafting up is not permitted. For time on the water, the City says Visit Palm Beach offers jet ski, paddleboard and kayak rentals, and the Hakuna-Matata catamaran calls the downtown waterfront its home port.

Currie Park is closed until spring 2027

Further north on Flagler Drive, the City says Currie Park, at 2400 North Flagler Drive, is undergoing a $35.5 million redesign and is expected to reopen in spring 2027. Its boat docks closed September 2, 2025 for the redevelopment and are expected to reopen at the same time. The City describes it as a 13-acre park on the Intracoastal, deeded to the City in 1920 by former mayor George Graham Currie. Do not plan on its parking or docks until the City announces the reopening.
