Information > Sports & Recreation The word
"sport" means different things to different people. Some people think it means
any recreational activity. Others think it means an activity which requires
bodily exertion and maybe rules. Others think of football, baseball, and hockey,
be they professional or amateur team sports. Others may think of individual
competitive activities. Some people consider sports a land activity while others
think of sports in relationship to water. But one thing is true, whatever one
considers a "sport", it can be enjoyed in the greater Clearwater area
In fact, Clearwater was selected as the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED FLORIDA
SPORTSTOWN in 2004. The selection, made by both Sports Illustrated and
the National Recreation and Park Association, was based upon a variety of
criteria, among which were the community’s commitment to parks and recreation
resources and the scope of programming. Each year the city hosts hundreds of
swimming, basketball, baseball and softball competitions, among others, bringing
athletes to the area to compete but also to enjoy all Clearwater has to offer.
