The Daytona Beach Oceanfront Park & Coquina Clock Tower
The Oceanfront Park was constructed in one of the most unsightly areas along the beachfront. There were dilapidated wooden concessions and amusement structures. The construction of the site was a massive undertaking. WPA workers had to excavate more than 48,000 cubic yards of sand. A twelve foot high reinforced concrete retaining wall was built to insure the structural integrity of the road. Three reinforced concrete pedestrian underpasses were constructed for safety reasons. The coquina stone used was mined at the community of National Garden. Other materials included more than 1,600 cubic yards of concrete, 92 tons of reinforced steel, and over 137,000 board feet of lumber.
