Half Moon Bay is moving forward with renovation plans to add a new 440-person capacity amphitheater and play area at John L. Carter Memorial Park for future large music and theater events.
Half Moon Bay is making improvements because it wants a park to host cultural events with local performances and summer day camps. It also wants to increase community recreation at a currently underutilized park, city staff said. Improvements include a new amphitheater with terraced seating and a new stage with storage space complete with a changing room. Terraced steps covered in artificial turf would serve as seating for people, with lawn seating in front of the stage. There would be a wood stage with a concrete base. The amphitheater stage would face north, away from Pilarcitos Creek at the park.
