The Garrison Channel is one of several channels for boat traffic in and around the Port of Tampa in Tampa, Florida. Anchored by Channelside on the East leading to Ybor Channel and Sparkman Channel, and by the Tampa Convention Center on the west leading to Hillsborough River. Garrison Channel is home to the Waterside Marriott and St. Pete Times Forum on the north bank and Harbour Island on the south bank. The new 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) Tampa Bay History Museum will break ground on the banks of the channel this year.

Famous quotes containing the words garrison and/or channel:
“Our country is the world—our countrymen are all mankind.”
—William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879)
“Children belong in families, which, ideally, serve as a sanctuary and a cushion from the world at large. Parents belong to society and are a part of that greater world. Sometimes parents are a channel to the larger society, sometimes they are a shield from it. Ideally they act as filters, guiding their children and teaching them to avoid the tempting trash.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
