Not sure where they are going to put the rides (midway) Heard they didn't put in water or electric outside of the marina? But the place looks great. If I'm out tomorrow I'll try and get a pix.

Re: St Cloud 2006
Here is an article that I found
ST. CLOUD, Feb. 8, 2006 (Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News delivered by Newstex) --
The final touches are almost completed, and St. Cloud residents will be able to see the outdoor facilities of Lakefront Park on March 1.
The grand opening and ribbon-cutting of the more than $9 million of improvements to the park are scheduled for March 25 during Symphony by the Lake, which will feature the Orlando Philharmonic.
"It is something everyone in St. Cloud can be proud of," City Council member Mike Wetzel said. "It's going to provide more services. We're trying to work with the Rotary Club for canoes and sailboats for sailing lessons for kids and canoes for children who like to fish."
He said some fishing guides have shown an interest in leading groups on the lake as well as a kayak-rental outfit.
The focal point of the park on East Lake Tohopekaliga is a 143-slip marina, three boat ramps and a two-story marina building, which will house a Crabby Bill's Seafood restaurant, a convenience store and a ballroom.
Competition for the boat slips already is fierce with more than 200 names on a waiting list. Those who already had rented slips at Lakeside Park are getting preference. Slips cost $90 per month, which includes power and water.
The restaurant will feature a screened deck area overlooking the marina. A 3,200-square-foot ballroom, which can be divided, presents a panoramic view of the marina basin and lake.
To the east of the marina building is an interactive splash pad and playground. Dan Tarrell Memorial Point, which was badly damaged by the 2004 hurricanes, has been rebuilt and enlarged.
A fishing pier with a gazebo and a performing-arts pavilion lie to the west of the marina.
St. Cloud residents will be able to rent park facilities for $50 an hour for a pavilion shelter or $2,500 a day for the ballroom. County residents will have to dig a little deeper to use the park, paying $100 an hour for the pavilions and up to $3,500 a day for the ballroom.
