Replacing the Amphitheater

The Volunteer Park Amphitheater, an aging concrete-and-brick stage used for performances and events, needed major upgrades to meet our community’s needs. Volunteer Park Trust replaced the former structure with a thoughtfully designed new facility by the award-winning architectural team at ORA. The Volunteer Park Amphitheater was completed and opened to the public in July 2022.

The new Amphitheater includes full ADA accessibility, a roof, all-gender bathrooms, storage space, an actors’ dressing room, and a resilient stage floor that will even accommodate dance. When not used for performances, the stage wall will swing back, creating a covered pavilion open to everyone year-round.
