What's Hot in the Gables
The award-winning Titanic Brewery and Restaurant is fully open for take-out and outdoor dining. Thanks to a collaboration with the University of Miami, Titanic will be able to serve their delicious staples in their new outdoor dining area. Make sure to come by and be a part of helping this “Titanic” continue its voyage as one of Miami’s oldest and finest brewpubs.
Park’s Bound Program
Get ready to play in our parks again. Having playgrounds closed while several of our parks have reopened has been challenging for many of our families and children looking for safe outdoor play. Thinking outside the box, the Community Recreation team partnered with Actionbound, a free app for playing digital scavenger hunts by means of installing digital content in the physical world. All you need is to download the app on the Apple App or Google Play Store, scan this week’s QR code and visit William H. Kerdyk Park located at 6611 Yumuri Street. Each Park’s Bound has 10 challenges for players to complete and earn points. Challenges may include Coral Gables history, fitness, wellness, imagination and nature exploration tasks. Every week we will unveil a new park with new challenges. Make sure to follow Parks on Facebook @CoralGablesParks #PlayGablesAtHome for next week’s new location

City’s First Responders Participate in UM COVID-19 Trace Project
The City partnered with the Gordon Center for Simulation and Innovation in Medical Education at the University of Miami and Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center on the “Firefighter/Police Tracking, Resources and Assessment of COVID-19 Epidemiology Project.” Blood tests were performed on Police and Fire Rescue personnel to identify those with COVID-19 antibodies. This study will collect data and study the extent of previous viral infection of the first responders.
